4D Implant Therapy: Esthetic Considerations for Soft Tissue Management
Akiyashi Funato and Tomohiro Ishikawa
Clinicians today recognize the need for a restoration-driven approach to implant therapy that considers the placement in bone and soft tissue from a three-dimensional perspective. However, the authors of this book assert that for optimal esthetics and patient satisfaction, a fourth dimension—timing—must be given equal weight in implant treatment planning. The aim of this book is to introduce this new 4D concept for esthetic implant therapy and to re-examine the traditional treatment sequence of implant therapy so that practitioners and patients can achieve predictable and esthetically pleasing treatment outcomes. The importance of including patients and their individual needs and goals in treatment planning is emphasized, as is the preservation of alveolar bone, dentition, function, and esthetics over the long term through the proper execution of periodontal treatment. Topics include immediate implant placement in extraction sockets, extraction socket preservation, root submergence techniques, ridge augmentation, and soft tissue management in the esthetic region.

4D Concepts and Strategy • 3D Implant Placement • Immediate Implant Placement in the Esthetic Region • Extraction Socket Preservation in the Esthetic Region and Root Submergence Techniques • Ridge Augmentation • Soft Tissue Management in the Esthetic Region • Treatment Planning • Technique

Bruxism: Theory and Practice
Edited by Daniel A. Paesani
This comprehensive evidence-based guide to bruxism provides answers to many questions arising in everyday dental practice. The first part reviews general bruxism knowledge as well as guidelines for diagnosis, sleep physiology, etiology, peripheral and emotional factors, movement disorders, and bruxism in children.

Biomechanics in Orthodontics: Principles and Practice
Ram S. Nanda and Yahya Tosun
Though comprehensive diagnosis and treatment planning set the stage for effective orthodontic treatment, it is a clear understanding of the fundamental biomechanical principles behind orthodontic force that allow the clinician to design the most favorable appliances and systems. Correct application of the principles of biomechanics leads to highly efficient and successful orthodontic treatment; a lack of proper understanding produces ineffectual systems that may even lead to collateral tissue damage. This essential book introduces students of orthodontics to the evolution of orthodontic technology and the properties of orthodontic materials, and outlines the essential mechanical principles behind successful orthodontic treatment.

Current Concepts on Temporomandibular Disorders
Edited by Daniele Manfredini
Featuring contributions from more than 40 world-renowned researchers and clinicians in the TMD and orofacial pain field, this comprehensive and clinically oriented book presents current and emerging evidence-based research on TMDs. The authors address the complex group of pathologies that affect the masticatory system through a comprehensive discussion of the anatomy, classification, etiology, diagnosis, and management of TMDs.

Esthetics, Growth, and Orthopedics of the Face: Facial Development and Transformation in the Eye of the Orthodontist and Other Beholders
Joseph G. Ghafari
The unconventional layout and structure of this magnificent book are designed to suggest the equally important roles of art and science in decision making and treatment in orthodontics. Important thematic principles are discussed and demonstrated through allusions to classical writings, historical developments, seminal research findings, famous quotations, unresolved controversies, and references to pertinent medical a nd nonmedical developments. Throughout the book, artistic representations and illustrations of paintings, sculptures, and objets d’art function both to portray an idea or correspond to a theme and to enhance the reader’s appreciation of the visual arts. Dental students, orthodontic residents, and general practitioners will interact in unique ways with this fascinating book, but each will come away with a greater appreciation for and understanding of the current state of orthodontic knowledge.

Flapless Implantology
Byung-Ho Choi, Seung-Mi Jeong, Jihun Kim, and Wilfried Engelke
The difficulties of flapless implant surgery are thought by many to preclude its use in all but the most ideal circumstances. However, this book shows readers how to overcome the perceived challenges of the flapless technique in order to take advantage of its extraordinary benefits, including the preservation of vascularization, soft tissue architecture, and hard tissue volume at the site; decreased surgical time; improved patient comfort; and accelerated healing. Case presentations address a variety of clinical situations and demonstrate the efficacy of flapless surgery. The evidence-based protocols outline the techniques to maximize the definitive outcome, even in the management of challenging cases. The final chapter focuses on flapless implant surgery for specific implant systems. This practical book is a fund of knowledge and an invaluable guide for all those who are interested in flapless implant surgery.

Handbook of Cephalometric Superimposition
Herman S. Duterloo and Pierre-Georges Planché
Superimposition of cephalometric images is the universally used method for demonstrating and evaluating growth and treatment outcomes in the dentofacial complex in individual patients. However, traditional procedures for cephalometric superimposition are based on the use of periosteally located landmarks or their dependent substitutes, which are unstable over time. This renders interpretation of pretreatment-to-posttreatment changes unreliable. The structural method of superimposition, developed and introduced by Arne Björk and based largely on longitudinal implant studies, is the only evidence-based method of superimposition, and it provides individualized, far-reaching insight into growth and treatment changes. Reliable measurement of local, actual changes in direction and amount is possible, allowing interpretation of the biologic events that took place. This book provides a critical, in-depth review of the history of cephalometric superimposition and the background and development of the structural method; demonstrates how to apply the structural method; and provides help and instruction for correct interpretation of the resulting superimpositions. Accurate cephalometric tracings and superimpositions represent the best way to demonstrate and evaluate changes resulting from dentofacial skeletal growth and treatment. This book will help readers to produce superimpositions with maximal accuracy, based on the best available scientific biologic evidence.
