Pediatric Dentistry 4/e

Description
Using a unique age-specific organization, this book discusses all
aspects of pediatric dentistry from infancy through adolescence. Each
age-specific section covers the physical, cognitive, emotional, and
social changes that children experience, as well as the epidemiology
of dental disease at that age. Other chapters explore the
examination, treatment planning, radiographic concerns, prevention,
trauma, restorative dentistry, pulp therapy, orthodontics, and
behavior management of each age range.
