La progettazione del piano terapeutico ottimale rappresenta un momento critico nel trattamento di un paziente. Questa scelta è frutto del bagaglio culturale e dell’esperienza professionale del clinico, a loro volta influenzati da una miriade di nozioni e informazioni apprese attraverso corsi, convegni, pubblicazioni scientifiche. Anche il cambiamento culturale del paziente e la continua ricerca di nuovi materiali e procedure rendono la decisione complessa, con molte opzioni nelle quali districarsi.Questo volume si propone di condurre il clinico nell’integrazione di informazioni e conoscenze in suo possesso, adattandole alle esigenze del singolo caso, in un processo lineare e logico. Sono trattati diversi temi in un percorso semplice e diretto verso la soluzione del caso clinico, proprio secondo il principio think simple, aderente al trend attuale di semplificazione dei piani di trattamento. Ruolo centrale lo rivestono gli schemi decisionali presentati nel testo, che si pongono l’obiettivo di guidare il clinico nella scelta più appropriata tra le opzioni terapeutiche, in base alle caratteristiche del sito da trattare e le tecniche chirurgiche a oggi disponibili.Oltre ad analizzare le condizioni patologiche, le eventuali complicanze riscontrabili nei differenti siti chirurgici, le caratteristiche morfologiche degli impianti oggi fruibili in commercio e la loro biomeccanica, vengono dettagliatamente descritte e illustrate le procedure chirurgiche attuabili (rigenerazione ossea, espansione, rialzo di seno, prelievi intra-orali), ponendo particolare attenzione alla morfologia ossea quale fattore discriminante in base a qualità e quantità propria del sito in esame.A completamento vengono proposti e illustrati una serie di casi clinici messi a disposizione dall’Autore, esemplificativi degli argomenti esposti.

La stesura di questa monografia è il frutto di anni di lavoro

Orthodontic treatment generally aims to improve the occlusion and smile esthetics of the patient. But the patient’s overall facial appearance determines how they look to others, not just their smile. This book dives deep into dentofacial esthetics and teaches you how to evaluate each patient who walks through your door from the macro to the micro, focusing first on the big picture and then working your way to the minute details in order to treatment plan for the best possible outcome. The author’s mantra is that “If you don’t see it, you won’t treat it,” so his goal is to educate dentists and orthodontists about what they should be seeing in order to yield maximally esthetic outcomes, taking into consideration concepts like esthetic balance and smile projection. This book will teach you to see the face and dentition in a different way, guiding you to understand what the problems are, how to think your way through them and put them in a perspective so that you and the patient can agree on the focus of treatment, and then how to choose the most appropriate and effective treatment methods. An invaluable resource for any orthodontist or esthetic dentist.

Questo libro, nel panorama bibliografico, non esisteva ancora, perlomeno nella formulazione e nella completezza richieste per essere utili ai professionisti che tutti i giorni lavorano a contatto con il paziente.  Il motivo per cui non esiste ancora è che le conoscenze utili a redigere una completa panoramica su questa tematica specifica non sono solo quelle del Diritto Commerciale, ma anche quelle del Diritto Sanitario e Tributario, della Medicina Legale, dell’Odontoiatria in genere, dell’Economia d’Azienda, della Finanza aziendale, della gestione di uno studio odontoiatrico e, soprattutto, della esperienza sul campo. Ci riferiamo sia alla esperienza diretta acquisita nella gestione di strutture sanitarie complesse sia della esperienza indiretta acquisita nella consulenza a centinaia di odontoiatri e medici di tutto il territorio nazionale: controllo di gestione, organizzazione, trasformazioni societarie, e molto altro ancora.

Gli allineatori trasparenti sono il futuro dell'ortodonzia

Questo libro si pone l’obiettivo di guidare le scelte chirurgiche alla luce delle conoscenze anatomiche, quindi verso una terapia chirurgica anatomicamente guidata. Un’anatomia concreta, scevra dalle ridondanti informazioni tipiche di un trattato di anatomia.Essendo questo un libro, le immagini sono di sostegno al testo, ma è il testo l’aspetto davvero importante. Quindi ci permettiamo di suggerire al lettore di leggere questo lavoro e non solo di sfogliarlo. Per dirla come Sant’Agostino, “tolle, lege”.
