case-based examinations.



The book presents actual clinical cases, accompanied by academic
commentary, that question and educate the reader about essential
topics in restorative and reconstructive dentistry. The book begins
by laying the groundwork of the fundamental principles that apply
to all cases and outlining the ten decisions to be made with all
cases. The main sections of the book cover the cases themselves,
examining them both by type of restoration / solution, and by type

Dentistry's case-based format is particularly useful for
pre-doctoral dental students, post-graduate residents and
practitioners, both as a textbook from which to learn about the
