Dental Caries is a major new work on a subject of vital concern to all dentists. It builds on the work of two former books, Textbook of Clinical Cariology and Fluoride in Dentistry, to present a definitive resource on caries prevention and treatment. The management of dental caries is central to daily work in dental offices because caries is ubiquitous in all populations, lesion development continues lifelong and caries is the most common cause of tooth loss around the world.The book’s logical structure consists of four parts, covering: The Disease; Diagnosis; Prevention, Non-Operative and Operative Treatment and Prognosis. It provides a clear understanding of the disease process, be it at an individual or population level. The Editors are joined by 28 expert authors who have contributed a wealth of chapters, ranging from the role of fluorides to restoring the tooth. Careful balance between prophylaxis and surgical intervention guides the reader through the maze of treatment decisions, while the breadth of the book reflects diverse, and sometimes controversial, opinion on dental caries. Dental Caries is aimed at dental students and practitioners, and will be of value to dental hygienists and those involved with public health. Faculty and practice libraries will also wish to feature this authoritative book on their shelves.Other Titles of Interest Clinical Periodontology and Implant Dentistry, Fourth Edition Edited by Jan Lindhe, Thorkild Karring and Niklaus P.

This textbook should provide the dentist with all the tools necessary to provide state-of-the-art cosmetic dental treatment. The challenge in preparing this book was to create a definitive, all encompassing, single source of information presented in a clinically relevant, "user-friendly" manner. There is a problem-oriented "trouble-shooting" section that guides the practitioner to appropriate information. It permits diagnosis and treatment planning at a glance followed by appropriate cross-referencing to more detailed discussions of material selection and clinical technique. Also included is a comprenhensive discussion of special considerations, indications, and contraindications for each technique and material presented, as well as numerous case presentations. Advanced techniques and criteria are presented to aid the dentist in determining when to refer a patient for specialty care. Areas of specialization, including orthodontics, periodontics, oral surgery, dermatology, plastic surgery and cosmetology, are presented by 31 eminent contributors.
