Integrated Esthetics in Periodontics and Implantology

Fausto Frizzera; Jamil Awad Shibli; Elcio Marcantonio, Jr

Many books include an inherent bias: The authors specialize in a certain beloved technique and attempt to apply this technique to multiple clinical situations while glorifying the successes and dismissing the failures. Or it is written by researchers so wrapped up in science and academia that they forget what it really means to run a dental practice and deal with patients day-to-day. This book is different. The authors have many decades of both academic and clinical experience and have set out to produce a clear, impartial, and rational text to address new concepts and techniques that affect the daily clinical practice. Treatments (including their limitations) are described, including many controversial techniques and clinical issues not previously described in the literature. The chapter layout is presented logically and in sequence to address the different specialties in an organized and contextualized way. A comprehensive background is provided to allow readers to determine for themselves—rather than be told—how to best develop a sound clinical work.
Contents: Functional and Esthetic Planning • Gingival Sculpting • Root Coverage • Implant Treatment Planning • Alveolar Preservation • Implants in Alveolar Sockets • Immediate Loading • Management of Esthetic Failures • Longitudinal Follow-up • Prevention of Implant Failures

Revolutions in Preventive Dentistry

Christian H. Splieth

Preventive dentistry is a constantly changing and developing field: As new research emerges, some practices that had once been revolutionary are abandoned, while others continue to withstand the test of time. This book relies on a solid evidence base and instructs readers on how this can be translated into clinical dental practice—what changes should be made to how we practice and why they should be made. Topics include caries and periodontal disease, orthodontic problems, diagnostic approaches, diet and oral health, oral hygiene, oral disease patterns, caries treatment, fluoride guidelines, risk management, sealants, and probiotics. This book will help clinicians to provide their patients with the best care possible based on evidence-based and clinically proven methods that are relevant today.
Contents: Caries • Periodontitis • Fluoride • Nutrition • Oral Hygiene • Flossing • Toothbrushing • Healthy Oral Behaviors • Fissure Sealing • Prebiotics, Probiotics, and Synbiotics • Silver Fluorides • Self-Assembling Peptides • Nonrestorative Cavity Control • Prevention and Prophylaxis in Orthodontics • Elderly and Medically Compromised Patients
