This logical, cogent, and rigorous book presents approaches to treating advanced periodontitis based on clinical signs and biologic features of the disease and on current data concerning bacterial etiology and new diagnostic methods. Treatment strategies that conform to the new classification criteria of periodontal diseases are tailored to individual cases, and numerous clinical cases illustrate the surprising repair capacities obtained through the use of time-tested maintenance techniques.
This clinical manual presents the current rationale and indications for third molar extraction, along with comprehensive, detailed information on treatment techniques such as radiographic examinations, anesthesia, surgical protocol, and germectomy. The clinician will also find practical advice for treating specific clinical situations such as the mesially inclined, horizontal, vertical, or distally inclined third molar, as well as special considerations for extracting maxillary third molars. The authors also offer strategies for effective patient management through every stage of treatment.
Transitioning a patient from partial edentulism to full edentulism in the maxilla is a challenge to practitioners, particularly since loss of the maxillary anterior dentition can be traumatic for many patients. The latest offering in the Clinical Success series, this book presents the clinical and laboratory protocols for successful treatment of a hopeless dentition using an immediate complete denture. As an alternative approach to traditional complete dentures, the treatment strategy described in this book enables practitioners to deliver a functional prosthesis on the same day as the final extractions of the anterior dentition, thus facilitating patient adjustment to the edentulous state. Numerous clinical examples and a case presentation illustrate each step-by-step procedure, including impression taking, registration of the maxillomandibular relationship, prosthetic fabrication, use of surgical stents, placement of the definitive prosthesis, and problem solving for complex clinical situations.
Covers diseases, disorders, treatments, procedures, specialties, anatomy, biology, and issues in an A-Z format, with sidebars addressing recent developments in medicine and concise information boxes for all diseases and disorders.
Many practitioners still have difficulty determining whether it is appropriate to begin orthodontic treatment before the eruption of the full permanent dentition. The authors of this book show that it is possible to establish the most favorable moment to initiate treatment if one has a thorough understanding of the morphogenesis and pathogenesis of craniofacial anatomy and development as well as some training in child psychology. This concise clinical manual explores each of these concepts in detail to address such practical issues as when orthodontic treatment should begin, which techniques should be used, what advantages can be gained from early treatment, how to take accurate records and form a precise diagnosis for the various malocclusions, and how to choose the method best suited to an individual patient from the wide range of therapeutic options available.
