Managing Tooth Wear. A Comprehensive Guide to General Practice

Shepperson, A.

General dental practice has never been more interesting, and the field of tooth wear satisfies so many aspects of the skills clinicians are trained to use: applying a medical diagnostic model to dentistry, design and artistry, and the science of dental materials. It requires detective work and lateral thinking, empathy, and listening. But not all tooth wear needs treatment — this book weighs all aspects of the treatment options and the motivation for managing tooth wear, focusing on biologic, functional and ethical rationale with the goal of enamel conservation and protection at the forefront.
