Book, Childhood Dental Caries: A Contemporary Approach 1/13[LS]

Dental caries continues to present high prevalence and severity in children of all continents, this disease negatively interferes with the quality of life of childhood and adolescence, since children affected in the deciduous dentition have a higher risk of being affected in the permanent dentition. Another aspect recognized by the authors is that traditional methods for the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of caries lesions have not been able to contribute decisively to the control of the disease.. The content is supported by two pillars on which modern Dentistry is based: evidence-based clinical practice and minimally invasive dentistry. The book is not just another treatise whose central theme is dental caries, which would already be a highly positive factor, but reveals the concern with the effective solution of the problems involving the prevention and treatment of caries, based on adequate methodology and supported by the most recent achievements of scientific research.. The book provides an excellent and timely contribution to contemporary clinic. Concluding by guiding readers in the use of databases for a bibliographic research compatible with scientific evidence, Feldens, Kramer and their collaborators disseminate, with this publication, a book of indisputable utility, not only for pediatric dentists, but for all those who carry out some activity in the dental clinic.
