Description
Now in a new edition, this popular text has been revised to reflect the latest methods in dental education. The volume describes in a straightforward manner the simpler procedures of operative dentistry, and has been substantially rewritten to stress disease control, prevention, and problem solving, as opposed to the typical technique-oriented approach. The text is supplemented by many color illustrations, and will be particularly useful to undergraduates, who will find it up-to-date and easily accessible.
