HauptbeschreibungCompletely revised and updated, this new edition of the AAOP Guidelines educates readers on evidence-based assessment, diagnosis, and management of orofacial pain conditions based on the latest scientific knowledge. While the structure of the previous edition has been maintained, this book offers evidence-based concepts where available and reflects many significant changes in the field of orofacial pain. Important topics covered in detail include TMDs, neuropathic pain conditions, odontogenic pain, and mucogingival disorders.(Quintessenz Verlag / Quintessence Publishing).
Educates dental practitioners seeking to understand, recognize, and manage disorders such as sleep apnea, sleep bruxism, and chronic pain, which often interfere with or intrude into sleep and are critically important to the practice of dentistry. Leading experts in medicine and dentistry articulate and guide readers in performing the specific responsibilities of dental practitioners, such as routinely examining patients for the risk of sleep-disordered breathing; providing guidance and appropriate referrals to patients who report snoring, sleepiness, and morning headache; managing the tooth damage or pain generated by bruxism; knowing when to prescribe oral appliances and understanding their associated risks; and collaborating closely with maxillofacial surgeons or ENT specialists when surgery is indicated. This unique book is a rapid source of practical information for students, practicing dentists, and researchers who wish to expand their knowledge base on this important topic. [editor].
Provides descriptions of maxillofacial surgical methods/techniques for more demanding clinical situations, including relevant fundamental aspects. The book includes information on recent and experimental techniques. The material is intended for surgeons with implant experience.
ABSTRACT: Helping patients achieve an optimal quality of life through patient-centered treatment planning should be the ultimate goal of all oral health care providers. However, this issue extends beyond the realm of the individual clinician's office. This text presents quality-of-life research from various fields, including psychology, public health, and general health care; discusses how a patient-centered approach can be applied to basic oral and craniofacial research, clinical dental practice, community dental health issues, and dental education; and addresses how oral health-related quality of life relates to treating and understanding different patient populations, such as children with special needs, medically compromised patients, patients with oral cancer, and patients with chronic facial pain. Also discussed is how factors such as race/ethnicity, gender, and age can affect oral health-related quality-of-life concerns and treatment strategies. Finally, the book offers an outlook on the role that oral health-related quality of life will play in future research and dental education.

Unlike conventional fixed orthodentic treatment approaches, Invisalign is a system that uses diagnostics data to create a three-dimensional image of the desired course of tooth movement; a series of custom-made, clear plastic aligners are then fabricated and used to achieve the treatment goal. This book explains the technique.
Este atlas sintetiza los últimos avances tecnológicos en estética dental y muestra como integrarlos con éxito en la práctica clínica. La parte I comienza con un capítulo sobre fotografía dental centrado en la correcta preparación y uso del equipamiento necesario para obtener imágenes de alta calidad para la documentación y la comunicación con los pacientes y el laboratorio. Los capítulos siguientes presentan los pasos a seguir para el tratamiento estético, que proporciona la oportunidad de experimentar un tratamiento propuesto, y realizar ajustes antes de emprender cualquier tratamiento, incrementando la aceptación y satisfacción del paciente. La Parte II presenta casos clinicos, mostrando las niveles inversos de las técnicas para las restauraciones directas e indirectas, y la Parte III presenta casos clínicos mostrando tanto el uso tradicional cómo el alternativo del disilicato de litio, un material de restauración avanzado con un alto potencial estético y una buena resistencia. Es un excelente recurso para el personal clínico que busca incorporar las últimas técnicas para obtener resultados estéticos predecibles y estables,
Daskalogiannakis (orthodontics and oral biology, U. of Nymegen, The Netherlands) offers a reference to material that orthodontic residents are likely to encounter during their postgraduate education and/or preparation for Board examinations. He suggests that it might also help undergraduates familiarize themselves with the terminology, serve as an update for orthodontists and general dentists, and provide help to allied professionals who collaborate with orthodontists. Cross- references are largely restricted to alternative names, and no index alleviates the neglect. There are no pronunciation guides to wrap those pretty pearlies around. c. Book News Inc.
The association between periodontitis and systemic diseases has become a hot topic in recent years. This comprehensive book reviews the clinical evidence and biological plausibility of the many systemic diseases that have been linked to periodontitis. Edited by Dr Josefine Hirschfeld and Prof Iain L.C. Chapple, experts in each field discuss the mechanisms at work, citing the available key literature and clearly summarising current knowledge and understanding of the associations between periodontitis and diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases, chronic kidney disease, inflammatory bowel diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, respiratory diseases, pregnancy and fertility, malignancy, neurodegenerative diseases, stress and depression, and autoimmunity. Each chapter critically appraises the existing evidence, providing comprehensive, contemporary and well-considered insights into the clinical evidence and biological plausibility of each condition, as well as the limitations of existing studies and how these can be overcome in the future. Periodontitis and Systemic Diseases: Clinical Evidence and Biological Plausibility is an indispensable reference for both clinicians and researchers.
