    Summary: "This is the indispensable guide to daily procedures and problems faced by nurses working in this specialty. The focus of the book is on the patient and not the technology; the aim is to put across that the critical care practitioner looks after the patient and uses the technology to assist and support care, it is not the care itself."-- Back cover.

    The important role played by restorations and prostheses in the accumulation of plaque necessitates careful design of all contours to enable proper removal of plaque by the patient. Early diagnosis of impacted teeth is essential as well as careful design of gingival flaps preserving the maximum of attached gingiva where their removal or exposure is planned. Difficulties arising from closed bite and orthordontic treatment, the need for careful consideration to the importance of endodontic therapy, and removable partial dentures in relation to the health of periodontium, are discussed.
