Minimally Invasive Dentistry has become a gold standard approach in the current diagnostic & treatment planning regimen. The diagnostic acumen of a dentist, today, centres around philosophies entailing minimal destruction to the tooth structure and being as conservative as possible. This book covers in detail the concept of minimally invasive dentistry and tries to enlighten the reader on the various treatment approaches available in the armamentarium of a modern day dentist. The Various "Minimum Intervention Treatment" modalities have been comprehensively discussed against the backdrop of their past and present. The rationale of their development and present day importance has been explored in detail. This book is going to be an enriching experience for a dentist who wants to refresh himself on the concept of Minimally Invasive Dentistry.

Organophosphate esters have wide scope in insecticides, herbicides and plasticizers industries etc. Since the organophosphate compounds have been reported biologically active, therefore it is essential to study the organophosphates systematically at all the faces of reactions. Now the emerging concern is the effect of Organophosphate esters on the environment. Many organophosphates are potent nerve agents, functioning by inhibiting the action of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in nerve cells. Organophosphate esters are one of the most common causes of poisoning worldwide, in agricultural areas. This study is very important in present scenario. For researchers it is essential to pay desirable attention to the effect of each factor, as the rate of reaction is influenced by a number of factors such as ionic strength, concentration, temperature, solvent and catalyst etc. This book provides the detailed kinetic study on the hydrolysis of these Organophosphate esters. This study should be useful to Environmental Scientists
