TOOTHWEAR: THE ABC OF THE WORN DENTITION

F.Khan, W.G Young

Author Information

Professor William George Young has seen and followed more than 1500 patients with moderate to advanced toothwear over the past 25 years, maintaining a specialist practice dedicated to toothwear and dental erosion. Having lectured and worked concurrently at Universities for more than 35 years, Professor Young has supervised and co-ordinate undergraduate and postgraduate research projects in this field. The book Teeth on Edge, (2002), remains at the forefront of this field.

Dr Farid Khan has conducted extensive research into the Toothwear field and has co-authored the text By The Skin of our Teeth (2009 in Press) with Professor Young. Together they have completed many research projects and authored journal articles, which focus their efforts on presenting findings and their passion for the field at numerous dental conferences, seminars and continuing education events for more than a decade. Dr Khan has recently been awarded a Queensland Government Grant to publish a guide for Queensland dentists and to formulate multiple choice examinations for continuing education purposes concurrently.

Description

This is one of the first books to provide a clinically focussed account of the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of all forms of toothwear. Bringing together the latest research, it is compiled by international leaders in the field to create an essential clinical guide for dental practitioners. The book covers all forms of toothwear and dental erosion, and is presented in a practical format that allows for ease of reference and helps assimilate clinical information quickly. It defines the stages of toothwear, provides schematic approaches to allow better understanding of the key role that saliva plays, and highlights the differences between acid erosion and dental caries. Importantly for clinicians, it provides a framework for developing best practice management strategies by discussing diagnostic skills, treatment planning and therapeutic modalities.

An essential resource based on a solid research platform, this book will provide dental clinical professionals with the missing links they seek to diagnose, prevent, manage, restore and rehabilitate the worn dentition more confidently. It will be of value to dentists, dental therapists, dental hygienists, and students in these areas.
