Notices

Knowledge and best practice in this field are constantly changing. As new research and experience broaden our understanding, changes in research methods, professional practices, or medical treatment may become necessary.

Practitioners and researchers must always rely on their own experience and knowledge in evaluating and using any information, methods, compounds, or experiments described herein. In using such information or methods they should be mindful of their own safety and the safety of others, including parties for whom they have a professional responsibility.

With respect to any drug or pharmaceutical products identified, readers are advised to check the most current information provided (i) on procedures featured or (ii) by the manufacturer of each product to be administered, to verify the recommended dose or formula, the method and duration of administration, and contraindications. It is the responsibility of practitioners, relying on their own experience and knowledge of their patients, to make diagnoses, to determine dosages and the best treatment for each individual patient, and to take all appropriate safety precautions.

In particular Coltne Whaledent, Ivoclar Vivadent and W & H were especially helpful during the research and development of this book. Thanks also to those companies and individuals who gave their permission to use diagrams and photographs.

Some people must get a special and personal acknowledgement for their contribution so willingly given despite their own heavy workload: Herr Silvan Benz at Coltne Whaledent, Ing. Michael Pointner of W & H Dentalwerk Buermoos GmbH, Mr Mark Jones and Mr Michael Powell of the Ceramic Arts Dental Laboratory, Nottingham and Mr Jim Simpson at Albyn Dental Laboratory, Aberdeen. Thank you too to the many representatives of the dental companies for supplying information and products to play with and photograph. There are too many people to mention but you will know who you are!

Thanks also go to Miss Suzy Peters and Miss Sarah Styles, dental nurses, for their help in the production of many of the clinical photographs.

The authors owe a huge debt of gratitude to Dr R Graham Chadwick for proofreading the entire manuscript, to Dr Sarah Manton for reviewing the chapter on Preventive and periodontal materials, implants and biomaterials, Mr Charles Meadows of W & H (UK) for commenting on the handpiece section in the cutting instruments chapter and to Mr John Maloney, Optident for his input on the bleaching chapter. Thank you also to Professor Trevor Burke for contributing the foreword and to the Elsevier team for their help during the genesis of the text.

Lastly, to our wives Lindsay and Margaret for patiently putting up with our absences from home during the research phase and for their support and encouragement during the many evenings, (late) nights and weekends spent writing.
