Comprehensive Preventive Dentistry is grounded in a
patient-centered, pre-emptive, and minimally invasive philosophy. The
book begins by covering individual diseases, such as caries,
periodontitis, and oral cancer, as well as therapies (sealants,
fluoride) and other relevant conditions (toothwear, hypersensitivity).
Additionally, concepts such as the role of diet and nutrition in oral
health are discussed. Also covered are oral care products and new
techological developments in caries diagnosis and risk assessment,
periodontal disease and oral cancer, as well as new developments in
home care products.
A valuable and comprehensive companion that will appeal to dentists
and dental hygienists, this helpful new book provides its readers with
one authoritative resource that offers a reliable and helpful
companion to practicing preventive dentistry.
