"Dental Caries" is a major new work on a subject of vital concern to all dentists. It builds on the work of two former books, "Textbook of Clinical Cariology" and "Fluoride in Dentistry", to present a definitive resource on caries prevention and treatment. The management of dental caries is central to daily work in dental offices because caries is ubiquitous in all populations, lesion development continues lifelong and caries is the most common cause of tooth loss around the world. The book's logical structure consists of four parts, covering: The Disease; Diagnosis; Prevention, Non-Operative and Operative Treatment and Prognosis. It provides a clear understanding of the disease process, be it at an individual or population level. The editors are joined by 28 expert authors who have contributed a wealth of chapters, ranging from the role of fluorides to restoring the tooth. Careful balance between prophylaxis and surgical intervention guides the reader through the maze of treatment decisions, while the breadth of the book reflects diverse, and sometimes controversial, opinion on dental caries. Key features are: contains over 400 illustrations, including many radiographs and colour photographs; encompasses preventive measures and some illustrative operative dental therapies; features step-by-step case studies; digests key research findings; and editors and contributors provide an international perspective. "Dental Caries" is aimed at dental students and practitioners, and will be of value to dental hygienists and those involved with public health. Faculty and practice libraries will also wish to feature this authoritative book on their shelves. The editors: Ole Fejerskov is Director of the Danish National Research Foundation and is Adjunct Professor at the Royal Dental College, Aarhus University, Denmark. His previous books include "Textbook of Clinical Cariology" and "Fluoride in Dentistry". Edwina Kidd is Professor of Cariology at Guy's, King's and St Thomas' Dental Institute, King's College, University of London, United Kingdom. Her previous books include "Essentials of Dental Caries" and "Pickard's Manual of Operative Dentistry".
