This new, 2024 textbook is already top of our reading list for undergraduate dental therapy and dentistry students, as well as postgraduate students. At undergraduate level, no matter the year group, there is something for all oral healthcare team members in this new essential text book. It carries on where the author's previous recommended contribution, Pickard's Guide to Minimally Invasive Operative Dentistry (10th edition) left off. While the new title alludes to advanced minimum intervention restorative dentistry for students, the opening chapter on dental hard tissue pathologies provides the foundation stone of dentistry and dental hygiene/therapy, so couldn't be a more essential read for all members of the oral healthcare team.

The textbook progresses from chapter to chapter in a logical, informative and structured manner. What is most striking about this textbook is that virtually from the first page, the quality and number of clinical images is absolutely outstanding. That virtually every page has an image to complement the text perfectly, is testament to the author's extensive clinical and scientific experience in the discipline of cariology and minimally invasive operative dentistry. The text is a prime example of contemporary evidence-based dentistry being applied to minimum intervention oral care (MIOC) clinical practice in an effective, prevention-based, susceptibility-related, team-delivered and person-focused manner.
