The disease dental caries and in particular coronal caries is addressed while providing an update and evidence-based knowledge on how researchers, university teachers, oral health professionals and dental students should understand the etiopathogenesis of the caries process and should diagnose, assess risk, take treatment decisions, manage and monitor coronal caries at individual and population levels. Renowned cariologists from across the world have contributed to this book, encompassing sixteen chapters, all peer reviewed ad hoc by international experts. The chapters were designed as evidence-based reviews on relevant aspects of the state-of-the-art on coronal caries. Individual chapters might express different views about subjects included in this monograph – considered an enrichment of the book rather than a contradiction in terms. Great emphasis was placed on effective and biologically friendly management of coronal caries in daily practice, which includes, under a unique umbrella, both non-operative and operative treatments. Attention was paid to the evaluation of the success of the treatment performed by means of clinical and patient-reported outcomes. The content of this book is of interest to readers in the field of dentistry.

Oral Microbiology and Immunology, Third Edition The field of oral microbiology has seen fundamental conceptual changes in recent years. Microbial communities are now seen as the fundamental etiological agent in oral diseases through their interface with host inflammatory responses. Study of structured microbial communities has increased our understanding of the roles of each member in the pathogenesis of oral diseases, principles that apply to both periodontitis and dental caries. Against this backdrop, the third edition of Oral Microbiology and Immunology has been substantially expanded and rewritten by an international team of authors and editors. Featured in the current edition are: links between oral infections and systemic disease revised and updated overview of the role of the immune system in oral infections thorough discussions of biofilm development and control more extensive illustrations and Key Points for student understanding Graduate students, researchers, and clinicians as well as students will find this new edition valuable in study and practice.

Dental caries, despite significant reductions in some populations,continues to be a major public health problem, and is the most prevalentdisease affecting humans. However, even fundamental aspects of thepathogenesis of caries remain uncertain, calling for continuing scientific enquiry and the application of sophisticated techniques, from epidemiology to molecular biology. Although recent changes in the pattern of dental caries are identifiable, available data does not reveal whether, overall, caries is declining. The conference `Cariology in the Nineties', held at the University of Rochester in 1991, by focusing on the etiology, pathogenesis and prevention of dental caries, emphasised the need to co-ordinate research in monitoring populations worldwide, and to change the focus of research to reflect the changing epidemiology and patterns of dental disease. Contents: Keynote address; Epidemiolgy; Saliva; Teeth; Clinical studies; Microbiology/Plaque; Diet/Nutrition/Prevention. W.H. BOWEN is Professor and Chair, Department of Dental Research,University of Rochester. LAWRENCE A. TABAK is Professor of Dental Research and of Biochemistry, University of Rochester.
