New to the ebook library this month is this reader-friendly and comprehensive book on tooth wear, which compiles, over ten chapters, clinical aspects of worn dentition from aetiology and types of tooth wear to diagnosis, treatment from incipient to severe cases, patient communication, prevention and long-term maintenance.

Tooth wear - progressive, irreversible and multifactorial - presents the clinician with a significant challenge. Taking the necessary patient-centred approach, the authors view the problems associated with tooth wear from several angles: physical, functional, psychological, social and aesthetic. The methodology is integrative and multidisciplinary, covering early detection, thorough assessment, surgery, direct and indirect restorations, and implants. The goal is both to improve oral health and achieve satisfactory aesthetic outcomes.
