First sentence: From the title of this book it will be apparent that we believe that most dental treatments cannot be - and definitely should not be - performed without due considerations as to the disease, dental caries, which is the predominant reason why most dental restorations are performed.
Description: The second edition of "Dental Caries: the Disease and its Clinical Management" builds on the success of the prestigious first edition to present an unrivaled resource on cariology. The clinical thrust of the first edition is widened and strengthened to include coverage of the disease in all its variety, from eruption of the first primary tooth to the prevalent forms of the disease in older patients. The centrality of caries control and management to the dental health of all populations is further emphasized, as the book goes beyond the successful treatment of carious lesions to demonstrate the long-term consequences of the non-operative and therapeutic techniques employed.
