Book excerpt: This edition has been significantly enhanced by the inclusion of more high-quality images to help illustrate scientific concepts and clinical scenarios. In the previous edition we reinforced the link between prevention, operative dentistry, and overall patient care. This minimum intervention care philosophy continues to underpin the current edition, with increasing emphasis placed upon the differing important roles of the oral healthcare team. The operative skill set of a new dental graduate has evolved to encompass not only the techniques, materials, and science of minimally invasive dentistry, but also, increasingly, the behaviour management of their patients. Without patients taking responsibility for their oral health, even the best operative dentistry will fail, regardless of the materials used.
