Book, Childhood Tooth Decay a Contemporary Approach 1/13[LS]

Dental caries continues to present a high prevalence and severity in children on all continents. This disease has a negative impact on the quality of life in childhood and adolescence, since children affected by their primary teeth have a higher risk of being affected by their permanent teeth. Another aspect recognized by the authors is that traditional methods for diagnosing, preventing and treating caries lesions have failed to contribute decisively to controlling the disease. The content is based on two pillars on which modern Dentistry is based: clinical practice based on scientific evidence and minimal intervention Dentistry. The book is not just another treatise in which the central theme is tooth decay, which would already be a highly positive factor, but it reveals the concern with the effective solution of problems involving the prevention and treatment of tooth decay, based on appropriate methodology and supported by the most recent achievements of scientific research. The book provides an excellent and timely contribution to contemporary clinical practice. Concluding by guiding readers in the use of databases for bibliographic research compatible with scientific evidence, Feldens, Kramer and their collaborators publish, with this publication, a book of indisputable usefulness, not only for pediatric dentists, but for all those who perform some activity in the dental clinic.
