A Clinical Guide to Advanced Minimum Intervention Restorative Dentistry

As restorative dentistry shifts from a focus on core surgical procedures to the patient and their unique needs and values, this new book from acclaimed restorative dentistry expert Professor Avijit Banerjee is designed to support implementation of holistic patient care for long-term oral and dental health.

The Guide to Advanced Minimum Intervention Restorative Dentistry describes the entire clinical journey through the minimum intervention oral healthcare delivery framework, with an emphasis on long term, risk-related, prevention-based care. It presents a blend of clinical and scientific evidence-based clinical protocols to guide the practitioner through the four domains of minimum intervention oral care - identifying disease, prevention / control, minimally invasive operative interventions, and review / re-assessment / active surveillance.

Written in an engaging contemporary style and easy to navigate, this important book is suitable for all members of the team, from undergraduates to experienced primary care practitioners and specialists alike.
