Summary:

"The text in each section is laid out to explain the reasons behind the treatment described, the relevant dental background, the basics of how each procedure is carried out and any aftercare information necessary. It is beyond the remit of the book to cover every current technique in every dental discipline discussed, so it is hoped that the text provides at least the basic information required for the reader to gain an understanding of the procedure, before seeking a greater depth of knowledge elsewhere"-- Provided by publisher.
