The new edition of this internationally
recognised volume offers comprehensive guidance to the
successful management of the child in the clinical
dental setting. Prepared by authors of international
renown, the Handbook of Pediatric Dentistry takes
the reader far beyond the technical skills that are
needed to treat disorders of the childhood dentition and
instead delivers a whole philosophy of integrative
patient care. Richly illustrated and in full colour
throughout, the Handbook of Pediatric Dentistry
is written in a friendly 'how to' manner and contains
useful 'pull out' boxes to act as useful aide-mémoires.
Exploring a variety of topics, the book includes
discussion of child development, practical communication
skills and advice on how to deal with behavioural
problems. Clinical topics include the management of
caries, fluoridation, restorative dentistry, pulp
therapy, trauma management, oral medicine and pathology,
dental anomalies, and the treatment of medically
compromised children. Chapters also explore the use of
orthodontics, the management of cleft lip and palate and
speech, language and swallowing. The Handbook of
Paediatric Dentistry has become an essential
chairside and bedside companion for all practitioners
caring for children and is suitable for undergraduate
dental students, general dental practitioners,
specialist paediatric dentists, orthodontists and
paediatricians.
