Dental students are faced with an array of operative procedures;
understanding and the development of competence in their use is
demanding. This text aims to detail and justify the basic
principles involved in operative procedures with the intention of
reinforcing understanding and improving clinical skills. Direct and
indirect restorations and endodontic procedures are
addressed.
Not only for the student, this book is also designed as a source
of reference for all practitioners who carry out restorative
dentistry and are faced with the introduction of new materials and
techniques. Referral to this text and evidence-based practice will
assist the clinician in the appropriate selection of newer
approaches to the delivery of modern day care.
