Authoritative and comprehensive resource on the disease process and clinical management of dental caries.

Dental Caries: The Disease and Its Clinical Management, 4th Edition maintains the same focus on high-level coverage of the disease etiology and process, clinical assessment and prognosis and wider public health issues connected with dental caries management, including an enhanced focus on caries control. Fully updated throughout, the chapters that discuss theory emphasize how the knowledge can be applied in both the clinic and in the public health domain to improve oral health. The new edition also includes up-to-date and validated diagnostic and management options for caries whilst ensuring that the tools provided allow practitioners to serve the needs of different socio-economic populations. All sections are complimented by high-quality color photographs, clear line drawings and references for further study.

With contributions from international experts in research and clinical practice, Dental Caries includes information on:

• Acquisition and establishment of the oral microbiome, metabolism of the microbiome in caries, and the essential role of saliva for dental caries and erosion
• Initiation and progression of dental caries in dental hard tissues and the relationship between sugar, diets, and dental caries
• The caries control concept and consequences for minimally invasive management of caries
• Caries control in children, adults, and the elderly, including root surface caries and oral health care in the elderly
• Implication of caries control for the dental profession, including best practices for assessment of lesion activity, prognosis and risk for developing dental caries

Dental Caries, Fourth Edition is an unrivaled guide to tooth decay, and a must-have resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students in dental public health, paediatric and restorative dentistry as well as all practitioners looking to develop their clinical skills.
