The Prevention of Oral Disease

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Twenty-five years ago most people accepoted that extraction of teeth was an inevitable part of life. Now, this attitude has changed and an increasingly large proportion of the population has realized that oral disease can, to a very large extent, be prevented. " prevention of Oral Disease" is the only book to consider the impact pf prevention on each of the main oral diseases: Tooth decay, periodontal disease and diseases of the oral mucosa. All aspects of prevention are condidered: diet, flourides, oral cleanliness, fissure sealants, oral health promotion and education, and the book provides an in-depth understanding of the early carious lesion and how to prevent it from progressing. The prevention of periodontal disease is discussed and tow new chapters deal with the prevention of oral mucosal disease (including oral cancer) and the prevention of trauma to teeth. The implication of the changing pattern of dental disease, and the impact on resources and treatment need, are reviewed. Throughout the book, Professor Murray emphasizes the scientific evidence on which the prevention of oral disease is based. This approach provides the reader with a complete understanding of the issues and techniques involved. It is essential reading for anyone wishing to improve the prevention of oral disease.
