The Oxford Handbook of Clinical Dentistry distils the essentials of clinical practice. It balances a pragmatic approach alongside evidence-based clinical knowledge, guidelines, and protocols. It details how to take a history and perform an examination, moving on to discussing preventive and community dentistry, paediatric dentistry, and orthodontics. It thoroughly examines the subject of restorative dentistry through periodontology, tooth repair, tooth replacement, endodontics, and dental implants. It also explores oral surgery, oral medicine, and maxillofacial surgery. It reviews medicine relevant to dentistry, therapeutics, analgesia, anaesthesia, sedation, and dental materials. It explores law and ethics, professionalism and communication, and practice management, as well as syndromes of the head and neck, and also includes summary useful information and addresses. It is written for undergraduate dental students, dental foundation trainees, qualified dental practitioners, medical graduates and nurses involved in hospital dental specialities, and MJDF/MFDS trainees.
