Inhaltsangabe

In its first edition, this book became established as the standard text for undergraduate dental students requiring an authoritative introduction to the restoration of teeth. This new edition has been thoroughly revised and updated and the author has taken great care to ensure that the text remains concise, giving a general overview of the practice of dental restoration, describing principles, equipment, techniques, and areas of controversy. Divided into 16 sections, the text commences with an introduction to dental caries as a clear understanding of disease is fundamental to all aspects of treatment. This is followed by a description of the instruments used in practice, protection of the pulp and principles of treating dental caries. The central part of the text is devoted to the properties and preparation of plastic and rigid restorative materials. Latter sections deal with ceramic restorations, root canal treatment and the restoration of pulpless teeth. The final chapter presents a practical guide to the clinical environment and describes, amongst other topics, sterilisation, anaesthesia, electrosurgery and the causes of failed restorations and secondary treatment
