Reviews
  • 'I am delighted to have all 286 pages of this fourth edition of Prevention of Oral Disease on my bookshelf. ' - National Oral Health Promotion Group Journal

Description
  • The new edition has been brought in line with undergraduate teaching methods and the way in which dentistry students learn/revise
  • The only textbook to cover all aspects of preventive dental care in a focused, evidence-based way
  • New two-colour text design and numerous summary boxes and key points throughout the book ensure a format that is learner friendly
  • Cross-disciplinary, with editors from different fields
New to this edition
  • Major changes to the new edition include a new chapter on erosion, major changes in the approach to enamel caries, and a new chapter on prevention of pulpal disease
  • Every chapter has been completely revised in a new format
  • Seven authors in the Third Edition have been replaced in the Fourth Edition in order to improve the book and make it more up to date
The new edition of Prevention of Oral Disease remains the only comprehensive textbook covering all aspects of dental prevention. Chapters covering conventional preventive issues such as diet and fluorides are complemented by innovative new or revised material in a wide range of areas, including mucosal disease, the pulp and endodontics and periodontal disease. Generic subjects such as the social dimension of oral health and health promotion underpin the clinically based chapters. The book is relevant to anyone who has to provide or understand prevention, irrespective of their clinical discipline or interest.

This is an essential text for undergraduates, but will be valuable for postgraduate students in many fields, and for dental practitioners and hygienists interested in current thinking on prevention. The material presented is concise, structured and well illustrated and is based on the most recent research evidence. For the first time, the book is presented in an attractive two-colour format and the use of summaries and key points throughout the book ensure that it is learner friendly.

Readership: Undergraduate dental students in years 3 - 5 as well as dental hygienists, postgraduate dentists and GDPs.
