The sixth edition of this popular book reflects an increasing emphasis on nutrition, school-based dental health clinics (SBHC), and health promotion. It focuses primarily on the clinical application of primary preventive dentistry procedures to control plaque diseases. The user-friendly format features an extensive list of updated references for each chapter. Topics covered in this comprehensive study of preventive dentistry are: dental plaque and other tooth-adherent organic materials; carious lesion; periodontal disease; toothbrushes and toothbrushing; supplemental oral health self-care; fluoridation; sealants; demineralization and remineralization; nutrition, diet, and oral conditions; and dental public health programs. An excellent reference work for dentists, dental hygienists, and dental assistants.
