Regressive Alterations of Teeth and Its Implications.

      Аннотация: As people grow older, they lose the youthful sense of immortality and are very amenable to health education, which we have to provide. A well-functioning dentition be it artificial or natural, adds to the "quality of life" which is part of active life expectancy that is more important than mere survival. We now have the capability of dealing with the aged dental tissues to provide that “quality of life” and not merely a native treatment of terminal oral disease. This book provides a detailed understanding of the various wasting changes affecting the dention and the ways of preventive and restorative care.
