Dental Caries

Overview & Synopsis

In the era of minimally invasive dentistry, the prevention and early detection of caries are central to maintaining long-term oral health. The book discusses risk assessment models, preventive strategies such as fluoride application and sealants, patient education, and the role of diet and oral hygiene. At the same time, it addresses advanced restorative concepts and materials, including adhesive systems, composite resins, glass ionomer cements, and novel bioactive restorative technologies that aim to preserve as much natural tooth structure as possible. Each chapter is carefully structured to bridge the gap between theory and clinical application. Through this integration of prevention and restoration, Dental Caries -From Prevention to Restoration aims to foster a holistic approach to oral health, prioritizing early intervention, minimally invasive principles, and lifelong maintenance of dental function and aesthetics. This book is intended for dental students, educators, and practitioners who seek a deeper understanding of caries management, from preventive approaches to comprehensive restorative care.
