English for dental technicians

Dear newsgroup,
I'm teaching English to a group a dental technicians (here in Germany as you can see from my address ;-)
Though we mainly concentrate on day-to-day English and "low level" medical terms, I pretty much would like to deal with vocabulary related to dentistry etc. Unfortunately, there's no special workbokk "English for dental technicians" available and I haven't found much surfing the webspace.
Anyone can recommend a book or a good help/ppt (etc) file? Since I'm not a dental technician myself I need something that comes with illustrations. (Therefore my search on the web wasn't that much successful, I suppose.)
Many thanks in advance! (BTW: I don't mind replies by e-mail.)

(F'up set)

  • If you don't want to be too technical, the Duden series of books, which are well known in Germany, may be your answer.
  • Duden has pictorial dictionaries in German and several other languages including English in cooperation with the Oxford University Press.

Is that the dialect that's spoken while holding your mouth wide open? Oh, no, sorry, that's dentists.

One time the dentist had both hands in my mouth, so he asked his assistant to hand him a "Marquis probe." I assumed it was named after the Marquis de Sade. Don't know what it
