    Summary: This book, now in an extensively revised third edition, is a superbly illustrated and authoritative reference on tooth wear and its management. Tooth wear is becoming an increasing problem as people are living longer and keeping their teeth for longer, with recent UK surveys showing that at least 75% of adults and more than 50% of children now have some form of identifiable tooth wear. This latest edition addresses this growing challenge by describing practical clinical techniques that will aid identification of the aetiological factors responsible for erosion, attrition and abrasion and by offering guidance in the planning and delivery of appropriate patient care. Readers will find helpful information on difficulties encountered in the diagnosis and prevention of tooth wear, problems associated with controlling the process and strategies for providing management solutions. Alongside thorough updates of the original chapters, this new expanded edition includes several entirely new chapters from highly regarded clinicians and researchers from the UK and Europe. This essential clinical guide will meet the needs of dental professionals and dental students alike.

    The molecular weight of the proteinase A inhibitor IA3 from baker's yeast was determined by different methods. From gel-filtration experiments, a molecular weight of 19 000 was calculated for the native inhibitor, while under denaturing conditions a molecular weight of 7400 was found. From electrophoretic experiments with the native protein, a molecular weight of 9000 was calculated. A similar value was obtained from the analytical ultracentrifuge, even at a protein concentration of 12 mg/ml. The diffusion coefficient and the partial specific volume were measured and from these data the frictional ratio and the Stokes radius were calculated. These parameters indicate that the relatively high apparent molecular weight calculated from the gel-filtration experiments is caused by the assymetric shape of the inhibitor molecule rather than by an aggregation of subunits.
