Sturdevant's Art and Science of Operative Dentistry 5th Edition

Sturdevant's Art and Science of Operative Dentistry 5th Edition by Theodore Roberson (Author), Harold O. Heymann (Author), and Edward J. Swift (Editor) is an excellent text book. The text is very clear and organized on every topic and easy to read with good diagrams and pictures. Each page gives you a wealth of information.
Each chapter starts with chapter outline that guides the reader through the book and makes it more organized. It covers topics such as Cariology(The lesion, etiology, prevention and control), Biomaterials, Fundamentals in tooth preparation, Instruments and equipments for tooth preparation, Composite restorations, Amalgam and Metal restorations and a lot more in greater details. The quality of the book is also good and the price tag is reasonable.
This comprehensive text presents a detailed, heavily illustrated, step-by-step approach to restorative and preventive dentistry. It draws from both theory and practice, and is supported by extensive clinical and laboratory research. Based upon the principle that dental caries is a disease, not a lesion, the book provides both a thorough understanding of caries and an authoritative approach to its treatment and prevention. Now offering a companion Evolve website, this new edition has been updated to address the latest developments in an ever-changing field.
If you have no experience in the field of dentistry, but you want a biological or chemical background to the subject, this is the book to get. Other books were too advanced for my level of knowledge (undergrad interested in dentistry); however, this book is structured like a general biology textbook (very comprehensive and understandable). This book is strongly recommended if you are interested in dentistry, the science behind dentistry, prepping for dentistry school, or if you merely want to know your dentist's lingo.
