LIBRARY OF PRACTICAL DENTISTRY
(Biblioteca di odontoiatria pratica)

Over the last few years, dentistry has been faced with developments in both scientific research, and practical application. Such developments in the various disciplines may lead to some confusion. Dentists in local surgeries especially encounter difficulties in keeping up with scientific progress and in implementing new findings rationally and logically to the advantage of his or her patients.
Preventive treatment, functional diagnosis, periodontics and fillings, implantations, gerontology, materials and dental technology are all areas in which there has been remarkable progress in recent years.
For some time the Biblioteca di Odontoiatria pratica series has constituted a point of reference for all those dentists who wish to remain informed and, at the same time, mean to distinguish between real and false developments. Bearing such needs in mind this edition of the Biblioteca has been created with the following aims:
- to give a new position to the disciplines of dentistry;
- to illustrate practical application and provide a critical study of both old and new;
- to provide up-to-date information concerning dental treatment as an indispensable introduction to being able to operate well and in any speciality.
Using these aims as a starting point, it seemed logical to try to give the dentist or the stomatologist a ready tool with all the fundamental information necessary to his or her daily practice. The Biblioteca also contains a wealth of illustrations (mostly photographs) which can be rapidly consulted.
We have consciously omitted a description of fundamental principles and a study of scientific problems considered as being too specific. However, the basic principles and concepts of dentistry have not been ignored even when there have been no radical developments. There is also an illustrated description of the development of new diagnostic and treatment techniques, which are particularly dealt with in the video, highlighting the concept according to which dentistry is seen as a scientific discipline that emphasises the clinical application.
