Sinopsis

The book is essentially made up of 2 parts. Part 1 explains the scientific fundamentals and treatment principles. All topics are covered, from the reasons why caries develops to primary minimal-invasive treatment, contains graphs, illustrations, tables and microscopic images. Part two (chapters 25 and 26) uses actual case studies to describe the methodology, including clinical images.
