- Emphasises current concepts on the aetiology of dental caries and periodontal diseases, and reflects upon the impact that the genomic era has had on the field
- Contains a new chapter describing traditional and contemporary (molecular) methods to determine the microbial composition and metabolic activity of the oral microbiome; expanded content on infection control in dentistry, including the impact of COVID-19; and in-depth chapters on the involvement of viruses, fungi and bacteria in orofacial infections and the role of oral microorganisms in systemic diseases
- Features a visually appealing, full-colour design and Key Points throughout that help make learning more focused and efficient
- Includes self-assessment questions in each chapter that allow students to monitor their progress and identify areas for further study
