Synopsis
This book introduces a unique approach to esthetic restoration of the anterior dentition. Guided by the philosophy of biomimetics, the authors combine sound biologic principles with an overriding respect for the natural intact tooth to achieve esthetic satisfaction with bonded porcelain restorations. Unlike traditional veneers, the approach described here draws upon the ideal hues, the subtle shades, and especially the intracoronal anatomy of the intact tooth to serve as a guide to reconstruction and as a measurement of success. From this perspective, a checklist of fundamental esthetic criteria is presented, and treatment planning, diagnostics, tooth preparation, laboratory procedures, adhesive luting procedures, and maintenance protocols are carefully detailed. The reader will find all the information and step-by-step instruction needed to obtain the authors’ superior results, which are showcased throughout the book.

Synopsis
Integrates basic science with clinical applications and emphasizes comprehensive treatment for quality patient care. Procedures are presented in an organized systematic approach. This book offers complete coverage of glass ionomer cement and other materials.

Book Description
Restorative dentistry is based on four basic principles: biocompatibility of materials, reduced tissue damage, longevity of restorations and esthetic considerations. The steady advance in the development of materials, coupled with improved understanding of ceramic bonding, reinforcement and light transmission, has given further emphasis to the esthetic aspects of restoration. This extensively illustrated text, prepared by a team with international experience, discusses these basic principles and presents a detailed clinical guide, for both the practitioner and the technician, to the esthetic techniques required for improving, restoring or rebuilding single teeth with various ceramic systems.

Synopsis
This text blends traditional, proven methods and recent scientific developments, such as adhesive technologies and resin composites. With a commitment to conservative procedures, the authors describe scientific bases and techniques for the range of restorative options now available. While intended primarily for students, the text will also be valuable to the practitioner seeking an update on the subject.

Synopsis
This work provides a comprehensive and very well illustrated guide for all who have to face the problems which result from failures of restored dentition. Step by step, and in considerable detail, the author covers the broad field of restorative dentistry, not only from the clinical aspects, but also including management topics and psychogenic problems. In addition, the substantial Technical Appendix by Anthony Laurie completes the picture by stressing the great need for clinical and laboratory aspects to be closely allied. The detailed information provides a valuable reference to the whole field of restorative dentistry as well as offering a text on individual topics which is easy to read and understand. All dentists concerned with achieving quality in restorative dentistry should find this a valuable book.

Synopsis
The third edition of this undergraduate text has been extensively updated and expanded to reflect recent research, materials, and techniques in fixed prosthodontics. It brings the reader up to date, but its adherance in fundamentals remains. Concepts and clinical procedures are described and illustrated, and presentation of the material is enhanced by the larger page size of this edition. It includes new chapters on: all-ceramic restorations; resin-bonded fixed partial dentures; and restoration of periodontally weakened teeth.

Synopsis
This work reviews adhesive materials and techniques for restorative dentistry. Techniques for anterior and posterior teeth are discussed, including direct resin composite restorations. Different ceramic-inlays systems and ceramic bonding are also covered, along with high performance ceramics and gold onlays. Resin-bonded fixed partial dentures are treated, with discussions of influences on reliability; effectiveness of materials; comparison with conventional fixed partial dentures; indications, design, attachments and avoidance of failure; and rationale for choice over single-tooth implants.

Book Description
This undergraduate text allies the clinical aspects of restorative dentistry with the academic theory of the subject. The author relates clinical techniques and materials to the limitations imposed by the patient and the ability/facilities of the dentist. The book features an easily accessible layout (learning objectives, bullet points, summaries etc.), and puts the subject of restorative dentistry into the context of the patient and the mouth. It inter-relates the clinical procedures.

This much-needed title offers the senior undergraduate and newly qualified practitioner a practical textbook on Restorative Dentistry, relating clinical techniques and materials to the limitations imposed by the patient and the ability/facilities of the dentist. It is unique in its approach, discussing the matching of techniques to the patient and the skill of the operator - an aspect not hitherto addressed in the current literature.

The focus of the book is the integration of care. Designed to be easily accessible, the layout of the text will feature learning objectives, bullet points, summaries etc. Not intended as a technique manual or encyclopaedic reference book, 'Restorative Dentistry: an integrated approach' aims instead to put the subject into the context of the patient and the mouth, inter-relating the clinical procedures to the underlying anatomy, physiology, pathology and properties of materials.

Synopsis
Pickard's Manual of Operative Dentistry describes clearly and concisely the indications and methods for all common operative and conservative prodedures in dental practice. Procedures and techniques are fully illustrated, often in full colour and, where appropriate, step-by-step sequences are given. In the seventh edition of this well established and respected book there is further consideration of caries risk, the mechanisms of pulpal pathology, and the diagnosis of erosive toothwear. There is more on the clinically relevant materials science of amalgam, composite, glass ionomer cements, and dentine-bonding agents. The 'amalgam controversy' is discussed. As in previous editions every effort has been made to point out areas of ignorance in the hope that the text will serve as a basis of discussion. The book is intensively illustrated with clinical cases, most of which are reproduced in colour. Structured in three parts, Part I covers the principles of diseases and diagnosis, Part II looks at the practical side: instruments, working environment and techniques, and Part III covers the long term considerations of monitoring, maintenance and management. The book is an essential purchase for all preclinical and clinical undergraduate dental students. This book is intended for preclinical and clinical undergraduate dental students. In collaboration with: Pickard, H. M.
