Restorative Dentistry An Integrated Approach
This much-needed title offers the senior undergraduate and newly
qualified practitioner a practical textbook on Restorative
Dentistry, relating clinical techniques and materials to the
limitations imposed by the patient and the ability/facilities of the
dentist. It is unique in its approach, discussing the matching of
techniques to the patient and the skill of the operator - an aspect
not hitherto addressed in the current literature.
The focus
of the book is the integration of care. Designed to be easily
accessible, the layout of the text will feature learning objectives,
bullet points, summaries etc. Not intended as a technique manual or
encyclopaedic reference book, 'Restorative Dentistry: an integrated
approach' aims instead to put the subject into the context of the
patient and the mouth, inter-relating the clinical procedures to the
underlying anatomy, physiology, pathology and properties of
materials.
