This book presents the science of microbiology in a
clinical context that is relevant to the safe and effective practice of
dental surgery. Microbiology is a rapidly moving discipline. Since the
First Edition, a number of infectious diseases such as Creutzfeldt-Jakob
Disease and SARS have emerged as significant clinical problems. There
have also been changes in the epidemiology of certain infections, for
example sexually transmitted diseases. These issues are all covered in
this new edition. The book has been updated throughout, and changes to
antimicrobial drug prescribing regimens have been included. Major new
chapters include those on fungi, human herpes viruses, infections of the
central nervous system, and use of antimicrobial agents in dentistry.
The chapters dealing with sterilisation, disinfection and infection
control procedures in dentistry have been completely re-written, to
reflect recent significant changes in decontamination protocols which
have been stimulated by the problem of prion diseases. This book will
serve as a core reference text for use throughout all years of the
undergraduate dental curriculum, as a refresher course for postgraduate
students, and as a continuing source of reference for dentists in
clinical practice.Tuesday, June 1, 2010
