"This is a comprehensive, up-to-date guide to dental hard tissue
pathology that is relevant to dental practitioners and den-tal
students alike. Whether you are work-ing in practice or as a
hospital specialist, this book will provide you with an
exten-sive understanding of dental hard tissue pathology as
well as the current recom-mendations for prevention and
practical management of these conditions." (British Dental
