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.
