Minimally invasive management of caries is critical to realizing the goal of giving patients teeth for life. The effective practice of modern caries management depends on a shift to a medical rather than a surgical approach to prevention and treatment, combined with good working knowledge and understanding of state-of-the-art materials and techniques. This multi-author book provides succinct, authoritative, evidence-based insight into the many, varied, recent developments in cariology, together with essential information and guidance of immediate practical relevance to the forward-thinking practitioner.
