Comprehensive Preventive Dentistry provides one
user-friendly resource that brings together information on the
scientific basis and clinical practice of all aspects of preventive
dentistry. This thorough and all-encompassing resource offers
techniques and strategies for maintaining excellent oral health in
patients through a regimen of preventive measures.
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.
