Description

Tooth wear is a significant challenge. Progressive, irreversible, and multifactorial in nature, it requires a patient-centered methodology for successful treatment. In this impressive book, the authors advance an integrative and multidisciplinary approach to worn dentitions that promotes early detection, thorough assessment, and conservative modalities and also understands that comprehensive treatment can require surgery, implants, orthodontics, and indirect restoration to improve oral health and achieve esthetic results. Overall, this book effectively compiles all clinical aspects of tooth wear—from concept and diagnosis, treatment and communication, to prevention and long-term maintenance.
