Odontoiatria

Written for the clinician, Cone Beam Computed Tomography helps the reader understand how CBCT machines operate, perform advanced diagnosis using CT data, have a working knowledge of CBCT-related treatment planning for specific clinical tasks, and integrate these new technologies in daily practice. This comprehensive text lays the foundation of CBCT technologies, explains how to interpret the data, recognize main pathologies, and utilize CBCT for diagnosis, treatment planning, and execution. Dr. Sarment first addresses technology and principles, radiobiologic risks, and CBCT for head and neck anatomy. The bulk of the text discusses diagnosis of pathologies and uses of CBCT technology in maxillofacial surgical planning, orthodontic and orthognathic planning, implant surgical site preparation, CAD/CAM surgical guidance, surgical navigation, endodontics airway measurements, and periodontal disease.

With cases reflecting the classic presentation format of each disease process, this book prepares students for patient encounters during their oral and maxillofacial surgery rotations. It also helps residents learn and review "high yield" material that is commonly found in oral and maxillofacial training and on board examinations. It highlights clinical information that is commonly asked during rounds, in the operating room, and during examinations. For each case, it includes an overview of the most common clinical presentation, physical exam findings, diagnostic tools, complications, treatment, and a discussion of any controversial issues that may surround the case. The authors describe Clinical Review of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery as "A little reach for the dental student, right on target for the OMS resident, and a strong refresher for OMS board certification."

Questo libro è nato dalla necessità di riassumere e sintetizzare i concetti espressi nel primo lavoro “Ortodonzia dinamica e ripristino delle funzioni” e di aggiornarli con quanto maturati negli ultimi dieci anni. Da un lato, si è focalizzato il rapporto tra la bocca e l’alta cervicale, rapporto più accessibile ai dentisti rispetto alla globalità della postura e della funzione corporea e, dall’altro, si è completato il discorso della relazione tra bocca e cervicale sul piano frontale, concetto maturato nel tempo e con la pratica clinica. Il pensiero focale di tutto il contenuto del libro è che il dentista e l’ortodontista non possono occuparsi della bocca a prescindere dalla valutazione della zona cervicale e che di questa relazione si deve tener conto nella riabilitazione della bocca perché, volenti o nolenti, le due variabili “bocca e alta cervicale” sono strettamente relazionate e, se si apportano modifiche da una parte, si va ad interferire con l’altra. Senza nulla togliere al campo di competenza di ciascun professionista,io dentista continuerò ad occuparmi della sola bocca in fase terapeutica ma, per farlo correttamente,in fase diagnostica dovrò introdurre conoscenze che fino a qualche tempo fa, non ero dovuto a tenere. Per migliorare il lavoro, ci siamo complicati la vita ma nostra etica è rispettata ed i nostri pazienti ci ringraziano! Lo strumento pratico con cui valutare un riequilibrio tra bocca e cervicale sono le “cere di riposizionamento in relazione centrica funzionale (o RCF) ed in relazione centrica della cervicale (o RCC)”. Con questo aiuto pratico siamo un poco più sicuri , perché abbiamo riferimenti pratici ed individuali. Occorre, infatti, tornare alla clinica ed alla valutazione individuale;uno stesso sintomo può infatti avere cause molto diverse e necessitare di terapie altrettanto diverse. Con l’augurio di un buon lavoro a tutti. Gabriella Guaglio

Capturing the latest thinking for the evaluation and treatment of dentofacial deformities, Orthognathic Surgery: Principles and Practice, covers the basic principles and concepts of dentofacial deformities along with planning, surgical techniques, surgical complications, classic patterns, and clinical presentations. Over 5,000 clinical photos and detailed art make this a valuable reference for clinical orthodontists, craniofacial surgeons, oral and maxillofacial surgeons, and residents in training.

Endodontology: An integrated biological and clinical view is a very unique collection of histological images combined with supporting text. Essentially, this is a work that is at the same time an atlas and a textbook about clinical endodontics, based on strong biological grounds that eliminate the gap between clinical practice and biological issues. It bridges the basic knowledge, which common endodontic textbooks provide, to an in-depth understanding of endodontic biology. In this book, that biology is shown so that the reader can visualise what happened, understand what is happening, and predict what will happen with the patient. Chapters are also included that not only show and describe several aspects of the dental and periodontal tissues in both normality and disease, but also reveal the tissue responses to treatment procedures. In this book, Dr Ricucci has added Professor Jose Siqueira from Brazil as a coauthor and thereby expanded the core content and the overall quality. This is especially noted in the microbiological content of the atlas. This has added a significant depth of subjects associated with endodontic infections. This book is aimed at undergraduate and graduate students, specialists, professors and researchers in the fields of endodontics, pathology and microbiology. General dentists dealing with "caries" pathology on a daily basis and its pulp and periradicular sequelae will also benefit from the information provided in this book.
