This book promotes a greater understanding of the principles of panoramic radiography by simplifying the complexities that often exist in larger texts. Topics covered range from how to produce the panoramic radiograph to how to interpret the radiographic image. The text is written to provide the entire dental team with a better understanding of panoramic radiology and how to maximize image quality and diagnostic yield for the benefit of the patient.
After clinical history-taking and examination, radiography is the "third way" of diagnosis, and dentists face the daily task of interpreting radiographic images to help in patient management. This book aims to give a comprehensive guide to reading x-ray images in dental practice and concentrates on intraoral radiographs. The text builds on a strong foundation of anatomical knowledge and is reinforced by the authors' experience of the radiological appearances that frequently challenge dentists.
This book offers a unique insight into the rapidly changing radiology service, and offers introductory chapters which provide the fundamental underpinning knowledge required for safe and effective GI practice. Subsequent chapters discuss the evidence base related to a range of imaging procedures suitable for investigation of upper and lower GI symptoms, supported by key pathology chapters. The book also explores the range of treatments available for the more common GI tract pathology. - Multi professional authorship. - Detailed evidence-informed explanations of a range of individual GI procedures, including suggestions for problem solving and adaptation of technique. - With extensive illustrations, medical images, boxes and tables. - References and further reading./ul>
Aesthetic dentistry is a rapidly developing field of restorative dentistry. It is driven by increasing demands and expectations of patients for functional but aesthetic restorations. This volume is not intended to serve as a definitive textbook on aesthetic dentistry; rather, it provides many hints and tips that practitioners can readily incorporate into their every day practice to improve aesthetic outcomes for their patients. The basic theories underlying the advice presented are also well explained.
The use of resin composite in posterior restorations is an accepted practice, offering a predictable and minimally invasive treatment. Resin composite can be regarded as the "material of choice" for restoring many posterior teeth that have been damaged by caries or trauma. This textbook reviews the most current concepts, presents techniques for successful results, and demonstrates how to avoid common pitfalls.
Managing Endodontic Failures in Practice, provides a concise, practical overview of the "when" and "how" to save teeth with an unsatisfactory, and often deteriorating endodontic outcome. From diagnosis to the monitoring of successfully retreated teeth, the book is clearly the work of an endodontist "in the know" and "up to speed" on the latest thinking, developments and techniques.
The practice of fixed prosthodontics has undergone many changes in recent times with significant developments in dental materials and principles of adhesion. However, tooth preparation is still guided by the need to preserve tooth tissue, generate space for restorative material and reshape the tooth to a cylindrical form with a defined finish line. This book carries these principles as a common theme and delineates the stages of prosthesis construction.
High-quality dental patient management demands an appropriately skilled team. It is the general dental practitioner's responsibility to co-ordinate the team and to take overall responsibility as the team leader. Your team provides all the specialities necessary to achieve a stable, functional, aesthetic masticatory unit, which not only encompasses the management of periodontal disease, but integrates a treatment plan the patient can maintain.
Dentine bonding systems, composite resins and fibre posts have widely replaced cast posts and amalgam as core materials; all-ceramic and composite crowns have also replaced metal ceramic crowns in many aesthetic cases. The aim of this book is to provide the general practitioner with some principles and techniques for the adhesive restoration of root filled teeth.
As our ageing population retain more teeth into old age, the burden of dental maintenance increases. This text presents an overview of these challenges facing the dentist and how edentulousness in old age can be prevented with long-term treatment planning. Treatment strategies designed to minimise risk to the remaining natural dentition are also described.
