Dental Photography: The Theory and Technique of Modern Documentation
Pasquale Loiacono and Luca Pascoletti
Whether they are used for patient communication, consultation with a laboratory or colleague, diagnosis, clinical or legal records, or scientific presentation or publication, images are a much more powerful means of communication in the field of dentistry than the spoken or written word. However, dental photography is lacking set standards that would allow the continuity and reproducibility essential to clinical and scientific documentation. To address this need, this book presents guidelines for photographic documentation that will enable practitioners to produce images that faithfully convey clinical data. Precise instructions, including the positions of the patient, assistant, and practitioner; camera settings and flash positions; aiming and focal points; and the types and positions of required accessories are detailed in text and images, and an example of the desired final image is provided.

Peri-Implant Tissue Remodeling: Scientific Background and Clinical Implications
Edited by Luigi Canullo, Roberto Cocchetto, and Ignazio Loi
This multi-contributed textbook covers topics ranging from basic aspects of implant dentistry to advanced concepts such as platform switching, immediate implant placement, and the use of piezoelectric surgery for implant osteotomies. It begins with a review of the systemic, local, and surgical factors affecting bone remodeling. Next, flap design and peri-implant tissue stability are discussed in relation to the concepts of gingival biotype and biologic width. The novel concept of minimally invasive implant site preparation using piezoelectric surgical techniques is presented, followed by three chapters devoted to the theoretical and practical aspects of platform switching. Subsequent chapters address implant-abutment connection configurations and how they affect peri-implant bone remodeling as well as other prosthetic aspects of implant dentistry, including preparation design, finish lines, emergence profiles, and the shoulderless abutment. Bringing all of these concepts together, a comprehensive minimally invasive prosthetic protocol as well as a more specific shoulderless one-abutment protocol are described and illustrated with clinical cases. The final chapter examines plasma cleaning of titanium implants as a method of reducing osseointegration time and improving soft tissue response.

Treatment Planning for Traumatized Teeth, Second Edition
Mitsuhiro Tsukiboshi
Since the publication of the first edition of this book, increased knowledge of treatment outcomes combined with better techniques, new materials, and innovative technology have led to improved diagnosis and management of dental traumatic injuries. This new edition emphasizes a minimally invasive approach to treating dental traumas in which procedures are aimed at assisting the natural healing process of the dental hard tissues, pulp, periodontal ligament, and alveolar bone; where possible, invasive restoration, pulpectomy, and extraction are avoided. As in the previous edition, key points related to examination and diagnosis, treatment planning, and treatment procedures are described for specific types of dental trauma, and long-term follow-up is encouraged. New cases and updated protocols elucidate the most recent approaches to effective treatment of dental traumatic injuries, and the use of dental cone beam computed tomography, which has dramatically improved diagnosis for traumatized teeth, is emphasized throughout.

Success Strategies for the Aesthetic Practice
Linda Greenwall and Cathy Jameson
While esthetic care has been an important part of dentistry for many decades, very few practices do as much esthetic dentistry as they would like. When faced with trying to respond to esthetic demands of existing patients and expand services to potential patient populations, most clinicians must learn the skills of how to successfully manage and grow this segment of their practice. This book provides dentists with the guidelines and strategies to make that happen. The authors detail many key strategies for success, such as establishing a strategic plan, monitoring critical factors of the practice, developing a dynamic and productive team, implementing marketing, using a treatment coordinator, and understanding how to finance and schedule esthetic dentistry. In addition, each chapter is interspersed with informative interviews with some of the most successful esthetic dental practitioners from around the world who offer unique insights into how their teams operate and what has made their practices succeed.

Inspiration: People, Teeth, and Restorations
Edited by Luiz Narciso Baratieri
Natural tooth behaves much as a collection of mosaics that change color according to the type of light and media in which they are found, and it is this beauty of tooth composition and form that is the inspiration to those who seek to mimic tooth in dental restorations. This stunning atlas represents over 25 years of dedicated study into the optical behavior of teeth and restorative materials. Although the authors wow readers with dazzling photography throughout, this book moves beyond a mere clinical art book that only shows what is possible. The practical purpose of this book is also to outline the clinical sequences of how to use composite resins and dental ceramics to achieve the optical characteristics observed so exquisitely in natural teeth. By blending art and dental science, the authors have created an ultimate textbook on dental anatomy and restorative dentistry that explores the underlying makeup of the layered structures of the teeth and reveals the techniques of how to meet the challenge of mimicking natural tooth.

Evidence-Based Clinical Orthodontics
Edited by Peter Miles, Daniel Rinchuse, and Donald J. Rinchuse
Despite the ever-expanding array of orthodontic journals and textbooks available today, too many clinical decisions are based on either anecdotal evidence or the espoused treatment philosophy of the current luminary of the lecture circuit. The authors of this book take an unbiased approach to orthodontics by systematically reviewing the relevant clinical literature and analyzing the scientific evidence to help practitioners select the most effective and efficient modes of treatment. Each chapter addresses a specific topic by summarizing the literature, critically reviewing the evidence, and offering impartial recommendations that can be adopted by clinical practitioners. Topics include Class II and Class III malocclusions, wires and wire sequences, dental asymmetries, causes of root resorption, and retention strategies, among others. This timely text enables busy clinicians to acquire knowledge of the current literature and apply evidence-based orthodontics in their practices.

Zygomatic Implants: The Anatomy Guided Approach
Edited by Carlos Aparicio
Zygomatic implants have been in use for more than two decades, and clinical follow-up studies have shown good outcomes. However, this treatment approach is only now seeing a strong resurgence of interest because it can provide patients with a fixed dentition in a short amount of time without any grafts, general anesthesia, or morbidity from a donor site, even in challenging clinical situations. Thus, a technique of relative complexity becomes minimally invasive in its application. This book reviews the state of the art of zygomatic implants and outlines several new surgical techniques and adjunctive procedures. The authors cover the fundamentals of using zygomatic implants, including the rationale behind the approach, anatomical and biomechanical considerations, imaging of the zygoma, possible sinus reactions, contraindications, prosthodontic considerations, and management of complications. This book will arm clinicians with clear guidelines for using zygomatic implants in the rehabilitation of edentulous patients.

The Face: Atlas of Clinical Anatomy
Ralf J. Radlanski and Karl H. Wesker
For the first time, the highly complex anatomical and topographic relationships of the face are represented through a comprehensive series of vivid, detailed illustrations. Because the authors use composite images of living models and anatomical dissection specimens as well as corresponding computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging series, their illustrations capture three-dimensional detail and provide surprising clarity. Facial structures can be explored layer-by-layer, and significant landmarks, anatomical details, and clinically relevant groupings of nerves and blood vessels are taken into account to preserve clinical relevance. In addition, the layers of the dissection are always seen from the same viewpoint, thus ensuring that a clear overall orientation is maintained throughout. Accompanying text and figure legends emphasize key points, but the focus is always on the anatomical images. Many illustrations are key to dental medicine, including sections on teeth; arch shape, occlusion, and articulation; the periodontium; vascular supply to the teeth and periodontium; innervation of the teeth and periodontium; the mandible; the chin; the TMJs; vascularization of the TMJs; and innervation of the TMJs.

Peri-Implantitis
Stefan Renvert and Jean-Louis Giovannoli
Awareness of the important role that peri-implant tissue health plays in implant survival is growing. Peri-implantitis is an inflammatory disease of infectious origin much like periodontitis, but it manifests through progressive deterioration of the anchoring system of implants. Clinical studies that assess long-term results of implant treatment show that peri-implantitis is no longer a rare complication. Current therapeutic guidelines are largely based on periodontal treatments that promote control of infection and often require sophisticated surgical means to try to repair damaged peri-implant tissues. This book introduces the emerging discipline of peri-implantology. The authors explain how to identify the multiple risk factors for peri-implant infection to prevent the onset of peri-implantitis as well as how to diagnose and stop peri-implantitis as early as possible.

Clinical Success in Bruxism Management
Daniel Brocard, Jean-François Laluque, and Christian Knellesen
Patients with bruxism are always at risk for more involved dental issues because of the effect of parafunctional tooth contact on dental structures and restorations, regardless of its frequency or intensity. This book directs clinicians on how to identify patients at risk, how to protect teeth and restorations from continued damage, and how to approach restorative treatment. Because of the significant involvement of psychosocial and behavioral factors in bruxism, the authors expound on a more holistic approach to patient assessment based on thorough interviews that allow clinicians to evaluate the role of psychologic factors and determine other concomitant causes. In addition, the relationship between bruxism and temporomandibular dysfunction are discussed in light of recent research that challenges some long-held beliefs and provides a context for a multifaceted treatment approach.
