Oral rehabilitation: a case-based approach

ORAL REHABILITATION Edited by: * _Iven Klineberg & _ * _Diana Kingston_ UK: Wiley-Blackwell price £59.99; pp 436 ISBN 9781405197816 | ISBN: 978-1-4051-9781-6 This is a well presented

book that looks at treatment planning and management of various restorative cases, from single tooth restorations to full mouth rehabilitation. The book itself arose from the teaching

philosophies taught as part of the speciality programme in prosthodontics at the University of Sydney. Many of the cases presented in the book are from recent graduates of this programme. It

is divided into four main sections compromising of 15 chapters, all of which follow a methodical and logical order. Throughout the book, there is excellent use of clinical photography with

most cases having pre-, mid- and postoperative images available. The book is well written – -following a repetitive layout for all of the cases presented. Furthermore, there is substantial

demonstration of evidence-based clinical dentistry and each case has a list of references to accompany it. The first section of the book gives a brief introduction about how this book came

about, followed by a background into conducting literature searches. Section two is entitled 'treatment planning' and the chapters in this section explore areas like consent,

clinical decision making and treatment sequencing. The chapter on treatment sequencing is especially well written and sets the style, which the rest of the book follows. Section three looks

at various management options for patients. The first chapter in the section has a great piece on tooth preparation techniques. It is further complemented by the excellent enclosed CD in

which the viewer can see an upper incisor being prepared for a crown live on a patient. The other chapters in this section look at provisional restorations – both short and long term – and

also the importance of recalls and reviewing patients. Section four of the book presents various cases and a significant portion of the book is dedicated to this section. Each case begins

with a brief clinical introduction to the topic, which is then followed by looking at various cases. The cases are extremely well presented, looking first at the patient's clinical

history, followed by the treatment option and then the sequence of treatment. There is also a discussion at the end of each case inclusive of references. Overall, this is a well written,

illustrated and referenced textbook, to critically build one's knowledge-base and inform decisions on clinical treatment. Even though this book is primarily aimed at postgraduates, it

is written in such a way that most undergraduates could easily follow too. Authors * F. Amin View author publications You can also search for this author inPubMed Google Scholar RIGHTS AND
