-Material presented here represents the European move in dentistry toward focusing on the patient's interests rather than on the dentist's. Restorative approaches are described as alternative interventions to deep-seated modes of treatment. Emphasis in this approach is on risk assessment and decision making with regard to the patient's dietary habits, social status, ethnic background, and oral hygiene practices. Chapters are in sections on prevention and diagnosis and preservation and restoration of tooth tissues. Some topics include methods for caries detection, replacement or repair of dental restorations, and composite resins. Material originated at the inaugural ConsEuro meeting held in Bologna in 2000.
