This much-needed new 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.
