" This book discusses new developments and “revolutions” in dentistry and introduces them into pedodontic practice. ... Presented by an international group of recognized specialists in their respective fields, the topics include new diagnostic approaches, changes in oral disease patterns and their consequences, non- and minimally invasive caries treatment, current fluoride guidelines, a common risk factor approach, proximal sealants and caries infiltration, up-to-date techniques for local anesthesia, pulpotomies and pulpectomies, MTA in pediatric dentistry, and an evaluation of the evidence for caries removal and space maintainers."--Publisher.
