Essentials of Dental Caries: the
Disease and Its Management
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Essentials of Dental Caries is a clearly written and fully illustrated guide.
It describes
the causes of dental caries and its progression through the
tooth. Its emphasis is on prevention of dental caries as well as early diagnosis so that decay
can be arrested in its early stages. In addition, the book discusses the causes
of the dental caries process in enamel and dentine, diet and plaque control, the use of
fluoride and fissure sealants, and the properties of restorative materials.
Since patient cooperation is vital to prevention, a chapter has been devoted
exclusively to methods of teaching patients their essential role in
control of dental caries. The book covers methods of prevention of dental caries from both a scientific and
practical point of view so that it is relevant to dental students as well as
dentists, dental nurses, hygienists and therapists. This second edition has been
fully revised and updated to include the latest research and techniques of
clinical practice.
