You can find it here.

Dr Ana Júlia Perrotti-Garcia, one of the most famous medical and dental translators in the world, has just released a new book, a trilingual (Portuguese/English/Spanish) glossary of dental terms, written together with Dr Marise Ferreira. It can be bought through Doctor Livros (www.doctorlivros.com.br) that has the following to say:

"O Glossário de Termos Odontológicos é uma obra inédita na literatura odontológica mundial, visto que engloba uma terminologia específica, subdividida por especialidades, apresentada em três línguas: Português, Espanhol e Inglês. É o resultado de anos de pesquisa e meses de trabalho de compilação a quatro mãos. Foi idealizado por duas profissionais que, além de cirurgiãs-dentistas, são também tradutoras, que trabalham com pesquisas terminológicas diariamente, além de já terem traduzido vários livros.
Esta obra será de grande utilidade não só para profissionais de Odontologia como também para tradutores, professores e linguistas, que agora dispõem de um excelente material para fazer pesquisas e consultas." ▲ Collapse

Thanks for your reply. But it's not available on americanas.com at the moment. And according to the little research I did, it costs almost R$600 reais and unfortunately I couldn't afford that right now. Do you know anything about the book I mentioned?

Never Seen it. Feb 24, 2012

I am sorry, I should have replied sooner, but I had never seen this book before.

And sorriest still for the price and lack of the book.

However, If you don't mind an used book, maybe this link can help you:
