Book review

This recent publication is a collection of chapters, each individually exploring areas of paediatric dentistry where advancements have been made. It is intended to highlight and discuss new developments in the practice of the specialty, though states from the outset that this information will be delivered ‘not by giving cookbook recipes, but by pointing out the rationale behind the changes’. Revolutions in Pediatric Dentistry remains true to this style throughout its pages and challenges readers not only to reflect on their own current practice, but the evidence-base behind it.

The book is 224 pages long and contains 17 concise chapters. Contributions have been made by a group of internationally recognized specialists in paediatric dentistry and associated fields. The text of each chapter has been laid out in an easily accessible format, with good use of titling and highlighted boxes for key concepts: 150 colour photographs, 46 tables/diagrams and extensive referencing for each chapter further enhance this title.
