The latest information on cardiology, infection control, dental materials, and patient assessment
--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Product Description
This comprehensive text presents a detailed, heavily illustrated,
step-by-step approach to restorative and preventive dentistry. It draws
from both theory and practice, and is supported by extensive clinical
and laboratory research. Based upon the principle that dental caries is a
disease, not a lesion, the book provides both a thorough understanding
of caries and an authoritative approach to its treatment and prevention.
Now offering a companion Evolve website, this new edition has been
updated to address the latest developments in an ever-changing field.
