There are some books available online, so that you can download them as PDF files, and read from your laptop whenever you need. There is nothing given about the legality though, but as I found it free on the web, am sharing the book so that others too can take an advantage of it.

It is always recommended that you buy this book, but not always every student can afford it, so they can use it as reference.

I know about the legality of it – It’s not legal.
Please remove your link. I think it is very unprofessional for a dentist to advocate breaking the law. Most dental schools have dental ethics courses, does yours?
As an aside, I would like to thank you for all of your other articles that promote dental health, but I object to this one.
