A new book written by dentist Geoff Knight outlines evidence-based research for applying a medical model of care to restorative dentistry using silver diamine fluoride (SDF) treatments.

A SMART operative guide for working with teeth aims to provide a less stressful and more rewarding way to practise dentistry. Revealing insights include using SDF as a pharmacological adjunct to oral hygiene, demonstrating the ability of carious dentine to heal, the benefits of SDF in the process, and remineralisation and restoration techniques. Each of these techniques includes step-by-step instructions and summaries.

Researched and written by Geoff Knight, an Australian general dentist with interests in aesthetic and preservation dentistry, the book walks readers through innovative restorative techniques. With a broad clinical base, Geoff Knight is also an Adjunct Professor of Rural Health at La Tribe University and he's been published in numerous journals, writing over 150 dental articles. In addition to his research, Geoff Knight has produced a series of clinical videos and webinars, attracting over 1 million views on social media.
