About Risk Markers For Oral Diseases: Volume 1, Dental
Product description Severe oral disease exists in only a minority of any population, and the three volumes forming Risk Markers for Oral Diseases set out to characterise the at-risk groups and define markers by which they may be identified. Reviewing epidemiological, clinical and laboratory data, these volumes point the way towards improved diagnostic and prognostic testing, an exciting and rapidly expanding aspect of dentistry. This volume provides a wide-ranging review of current understanding of the caries process, and examines how this knowledge may be used in the prediction of risk. Among the factors considered are social, behavioural and dietary patterns, the role of bacteria in the natural history of the caries process, the host response to key antigens and the various tooth resistance variables. Strategies for screening and intervention are discussed, and the continuing role of dental education and research assessed. Risk Markers for Oral Diseases represents a landmark in the reorientation of contemporary dentistry towards new goals. This volume and its companions are therefore essential works of reference for all dental professionals. Volume 1: Dental Caries; Volume 2: Oral Cancer; Volume 3: Periodontal Diseases.
