Preservation and Restoration of Tooth Structure

by Graham J. Mount (Editor), Wyatt R. Hume (Editor), Hien C. Ngo (Editor), Mark S. Wolff (Editor)

Overview

Combining the approaches of preventative and restorative dentistry, this is a revised and updated guide to the clinical techniques and procedures necessary for managing tooth disorders and disease.  

• Introduces minimally invasive dentistry as a model to control dental disease and then restore the mouth to optimal form, function, and aesthetics
• Contains several student-friendly features, including a new layout, line drawings and clinical photographs to illustrate key concepts
• Covers fundamental topics, including the evolutionary biology of the human oral environment; caries management and risk assessment; remineralization; principles of cavity design; lifestyle factors; choices between restorative materials and restoration management
• Includes a companion website with self-assessment exercises for students and a downloadable image bank for instructors

Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: Janet H. Southerland, DDS, MPH, PhD (The University of Texas Medical Branch)
Description: This book focuses on the nature of the change and continued progress in restoration and preservation of tooth structure. It is an updated guide to clinical techniques and procedures necessary for managing tooth disorders and disease. The companion website offers access to interactive multiple choice questions for each chapter and the ability to download all figures in the book. This is a third edition, with previous editions published in 2005 and 1998.
Purpose: The purpose is to provide an update on clinical techniques and procedures needed to manage dental disease. In addition, the authors introduce the concept of minimally invasive dentistry as a model to control dental disease as well as restore the mouth to optimal form, function, and esthetics.
Audience: The authors indicate that the book is written for students and practitioners. It also would be useful for residents in general practice training. The authors are global experts and highly credentialed in preventive and restorative dentistry.
Features: The book covers a range of functional topics including evolutionary biology, dental caries management, risk assessment, remineralization, cavity design principles, lifestyle factors, choices between restorative materials, and restoration management. The illustrations and photographs are of high quality. The book is written at an appropriate level and not only guides readers through restorative techniques, but provides a summary table for each technique and instrument described.
Assessment: This book is well written and organized, with a current, evidence-based, comprehensive review of disease etiology and restorative techniques. The accompanying website with questions and figures is helpful for material retention. This update is needed as a result of the explosion of new technology, dental materials, and instruments.
