Preservation and Restoration of Tooth Structure

---

An extensive coverage of 370 pages including beautiful diagrams, images and drawings to cover most aspects of minimal intervention dentistry.

This book has been produced as a second edition because it is ten years since the original was written and there has been considerable progress in the subject of minimal intervention operative dentistry over that period. The debate began with the first edition and this one continues to expand upon this new and exciting approach to preservation of tooth structure through prevention and intervention in the disease process.

The emphasis is on control of the disease. The disease can be a reflection of lifestyle so there is discussion on the collection of relevant patient data. Information is offered on the very latest in techniques in remineralisation and healing. Having overcome the disease, there may be damaged tooth surfaces requiring restoration. The G. V. Black system was displaced years ago with the advent of adhesive restorative materials. Modern materials will seal the interface with tooth structure and some actually stimulate remineralisation so 'extension for prevention' is a thing of the past and minimal cavity designs are now a reality.
The basic divisions of the book cover the following topics:

* a brief discussion of the tooth in health
* the effect of disease on the pulp
* progress of caries through tooth structure
* identification and prevention of both caries and noncaries tooth loss with the latest research in remineralisation
* modern instrumentation for cavity preparation and the principles of cavity design
* a full discussion of the three basic restorative materials
* further discussions on the proposed new classification of caries lesions
* a general discussion on many of the problems that face the restorative dentist on a daily basis

Control begins with saliva which is a crucial part of the oral environment.

It plays a significant role in both demineralisation as well as remineralisation of tooth structure because it is a reservoir of calcium, phosphate and fluoride ions so it needs to be understood.
