Description
CBS PUBLICATION Community Dentistry by Sikri Vimal K
Dental public health covers every aspect of dentistry and. unfortunately. most of the books written in the past do not expatiate in this subject. There was always felt a great need for a textbook on preventive and communitive dentistry and serve as a reading material for those practitioners who are unable to obtain formal learning on this subject. All this prompted us to embark on this venture to help the people of dental profession meet their needs on this vital subject. A book of this sort can only cover fundamentals of the larger field of community dentistry. For instance. Biostatistics and epidemiology are extremely hard subjects to learn by oneself. Students wishing to go more deeply into the subject will have to consult more detailed textbooks. Exhaustive references have been given at the end of every chapter and we fervently believe that these would be of Immense value to the students. The chapter on prevention of oral diseases thoroughly deals with the prevention of dental caries. Periodontal diseases. Oral cancer and malocclusion.
