Book 3
Lasers in medicine, surgery, dentistry and veterinary
The third book of the Millennium laser edition has been written by 57 authors from 22 countries from all around the world.
Characteristics of the third book reveal a hard cover, 61 chapters, 944 pages, more than 800 color photos, tables, diagrams and schemes.
“(…) this is the best book I have seen in many last years. (…) My impression is that it is useful for practitioners who want to use laser for this or that.
- Prof Tiina Karu, biologist, Russia
“The Millenium Laser Books contain contributions from laser scientists and experts from all parts of the world (…) Together they form a unique account of laser science, laser medicine, laser surgery and laser dentistry, and it is due to the vision, courage and perseverance of Dr.Med. Zlatko Simunovic that this has been made possible. It is to be hoped that these volumes will soon be found in all medical libraries around the world (…)”
- Prof Marius S.Plouzhnikov, MD, Russia
“(…) In this regard my compliments to the editor Dr. Zlatko Simunovic, M.D., FMH and his associates who made this book possible. I hope it will receive a broad distrinution among various groups of interest.”
- Prof Winfried E.Banzer, M.D., Germany
“(..) Professor Zlatko Simunovic, M.D. well understood today’s needs, as he planned “Lasers in Surgery and medicine” to include the reports from all the above mentioned groups of researchers and laser users, including veterinary, dentistry and safety groups.”
- Prof Sandra Giavelli, M.D., Italy
