Caries Management - Science and Clinical Practice

Description

The book is essentially made up of 2 parts. Part 1 explains the scientific fundamentals and treatment principles. All topics are covered, from the reasons why caries develops to primary minimal-invasive treatment, contains graphs, illustrations, tables and microscopic images. Part two (chapters 25 and 26) uses actual case studies to describe the methodology, including clinical images.

Sales Hooks

• Shifting to the new paradigm of “heal and seal” rather than the old “drill and fill” – prevention instead of intervention
• Covers the science behind the disease with recommendations for treatments, starting at the microscopic level
• Newest treatment techniques, including adhesion technology, fissure sealing and infiltration, and more
• Non-invasive, micro invasive, minimal invasive techniques.
• International team of authors (USA, UK, Brazil, Australia, Germany...)
