Description
Summary:Provides a current overview of how physical, chemical and biochemical aspects of the oral environment influence tooth condition.

It high-lights such topics as new intra-oral and laboratory methods to assess tooth wear, the latest ideas on de- and re-mineralisation processes involving enamel and dentine, new insights into the tooth structure-function relationship and the site specificity of anticaries treatments.
