Smile! Your Guide to Esthetic Dental Treatment
Douglas A. Terry
Many patients are unaware of the wide range of treatment options available for esthetic dental restoration and enhancement, and it is often difficult for them to visualize the change that is possible with such treatment. This book presents full-page images to show how various areas of the mouth can be restored and transformed to make the smile more esthetic. Before-and-after photographs of exceptional quality reveal the significant improvements that are possible with procedures as simple as crown lengthening, composite restoration, or veneers. Other topics include all-ceramic crowns, fixed partial dentures, connective tissue grafting, implant therapy, and esthetic contouring. The author also addresses tooth fracture and diastema closure, missing teeth, noncarious lesions, sealants, interproximal restoration, inlays and onlays, minor orthodontics, bleaching, and root canal therapy. Smile! Your Guide to Esthetic Dental Treatment is the perfect tool for showing patients how they can benefit from esthetic dental treatment.

Evidence-Based Dentistry for the Dental Hygienist
Edited by Julie Frantsve-Hawley
Like any other dental professional, dental hygienists must practice evidence-based dentistry (EBD) to provide the best care to their patients, whether it be through scaling and root planing, caries prevention, or patient education. This book is intended as a textbook for dental hygienists to learn the importance of EBD in the practice of dental hygiene as well as how to implement EBD practices and share EBD findings among office staff. As the dental knowledge base evolves and scientific discoveries are made, dental hygienists must understand how to seek out and evaluate findings and, if appropriate, apply them in their clinical practice, and this book provides all the necessary tools to do just that.

Esthetic Implant Therapy and Restoration in the Edentulous Maxilla: A Simplified Protocol
Karim Dada and Marwan Daas
Based on clinical, radiographic, and computer analysis, the simplified clinical protocols described in this book represent a revolution in the rehabiliation of the edentulous maxilla. The treatment strategy highlights a standardized esthetic analysis and focuses on the importance of the preparatory phases as well as of effective communication among the members of the treatment team. The authors outline the design principles and clinical methodology for different treatment options, step by step, and discuss indications for immediate loading, delivery of a fixed prosthesis shortly after the surgery, flapless surgery, and the all-on-four treatment concept, all of which can be used to limit postoperative difficulties for the patient. By simplifying the surgical and prosthetic protocols, the authors of this book have developed predictable esthetic treatment strategies that will be applicable to the largest number of patients and possible by the largest number of clinicians.

Immediate Dentoalveolar Restoration: Immediate-Loaded Implants in Compromised Alveolar Sockets
Edited by Josι Carlos Martins da Rosa
Immediate dentoalveolar restoration (IDR) is a treatment modality for immediate loading of single-tooth dental implants in fresh extraction sockets. This textbook provides a comprehensive step-by-step presentation of the IDR procedures and detailed clinical cases showing IDR used in various clinical situations. IDR reduces the number of interventions by integrating reconstruction of any tissue loss during the same visit as the implant placement and provisional crown fabrication. Predictability of the esthetics is ensured through careful esthetic assessment and use of advanced prosthetic techniques, including platform switching and contouring of the emergence profile. The minimally invasive techniques that are central to IDR are featured throughout. In addition, the authors cover the most important adjunctive topics, such as immediate loading, use of the maxillary tuberosity for bone grafts, and esthetic restoration.

The Biomechanical Foundation of Clinical Orthodontics
Charles J. Burstone and K. C. Choy
All orthodontic treatment modalities, including different brackets, wires, and techniques, can be improved by applying sound biomechanics, yet much of clinical orthodontics today is delivered without consideration of forces or force systems. However, orthodontic hardware itself is only a means to an end point: tooth alignment, bone remodeling, and growth modification. The orthodontist can only achieve these goals by manipulating forces. This book teaches biomechanics in an easy-to-understand and engaging way, using examples outside of orthodontics to illustrate basic force systems and how they function and then applying these principles to the practice of clinical orthodontics. The authors cover all of the force systems an orthodontist needs to understand to deliver effective treatment, explaining how each can be controlled and manipulated and demonstrating the forces at work through exceptional three-dimensional illustrations.

Dental TechnologyVolume 1: Anatomy and Orthodontics
Arnold Hohmann and Werner Hielscher
Dental technicians must have a comprehensive knowledge of dental anatomy, physiology, and pathology in order to work with dentists to produce successful dental prostheses. Much training for dental technicians is spent on honing sound technical skills, but this textbook lays out the theoretical foundation that is prerequisite for reproducing functional and esthetic teeth and replacement tissues for individual dentitions. By providing the medical and technical context for dental technology work and focusing on functional interrelation among the anatomical components, the authors establish the variables and criteria for measuring success. This book provides the high-level technical knowledge necessary to develop profession-specific competence and innovation in dental technology.

Best Practices in Endodontics: A Desk Reference
Edited by Richard Schwartz, Anthony L. Horalek, and Venkat Canakapalli
This book is a compilation of practical information shared by some of the finest clinical endodontists in the world. Most of the chapters are short and focus on how to perform a single clinical procedure. They are written in simple language with ample photographic support. This book provides guidance for most common endodontic procedures but also for some procedures that are less common, such as how to treat teeth containing Russian Red; surgical extrusion; root submergence; and decompression. Because most of the procedures described are performed under a dental operating microscope, there are chapters on operatory design for microscopic endodontics, microscope ergonomics for the doctor and assistant, and how to set up and use a microscope for photography and video documentation. In addition, three chapters are devoted exclusively to understanding and applying CBCT imaging. Written at a specialist level, the book serves as a desk reference for clinical procedures and as a daily practical guide, but it contains information that is useful to anyone who aspires to perform endodontics at a high level.

Pediatric Head and Neck Pathology: Clinico-Pathologic and Therapeutic Principles
Robert O. Greer, Robert E. Marx, M. Sherif Said, and Lori D. Prok
The problems attendant to the accurate diagnosis for and proper management of the child with a tumor or disorder of the head and neck represent a substantial challenge to the clinician and pathologist. This work presents a much-needed discussion of both common and uncommon lesions affecting the head and neck region of children. It is designed using a unique, easy-reference format that should allow quick resolution of statistical issues and diagnostic quandaries related to the age, sex, site, and clinical presentation as well as the histopathology and molecular biology of a particular tumor or disorder. The pathogenesis of every lesion is included along with differential diagnostic considerations, management options, and prognosis. The central focus of most chapters is tissue type or a specific disease entity rather than anatomical location. This book will be of interest not only to pathologists but also to oral and maxillofacial surgeons, general dentists, pediatricians, pediatric general surgeons, otolaryngologists, and oncologists.
