Více o knize

Dental Caries is an essential resource for dentists, expanding on previous works to address caries prevention and treatment comprehensively. As caries is prevalent across all populations and a leading cause of tooth loss globally, its management is crucial in dental practice. The book is organized into four parts: The Disease; Diagnosis; Prevention, Non-Operative and Operative Treatment; and Prognosis, offering a thorough understanding of the disease process at both individual and population levels. With contributions from 28 expert authors, it covers a wide range of topics, from the role of fluorides to tooth restoration. The text maintains a careful balance between prophylactic measures and surgical interventions, guiding readers through complex treatment decisions while presenting diverse and sometimes controversial perspectives on dental caries. This book is targeted at dental students and practitioners, and it will also benefit dental hygienists and public health professionals. Faculty and practice libraries will find this authoritative work a valuable addition to their collections.
