Infos

This is one of the first books to provide a clinically focussed
account of the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of all forms of
toothwear. Bringing together the latest research, it is compiled by
international leaders in the field to create an essential clinical
guide for dental practitioners. The book covers all forms of
toothwear and dental erosion, and is presented in a practical
format that allows for ease of reference and helps assimilate
clinical information quickly. It defines the stages of toothwear,
provides schematic approaches to allow better understanding of the
key role that saliva plays, and highlights the differences between
acid erosion and dental caries. Importantly for clinicians, it
provides a framework for developing best practice management
strategies by discussing diagnostic skills, treatment planning and
therapeutic modalities.



An essential resource based on a solid research platform, this
book will provide dental clinical professionals with the missing
links they seek to diagnose, prevent, manage, restore and
rehabilitate the worn dentition more confidently. It will be of
value to dentists, dental therapists, dental hygienists, and
students in these areas.
