Odontoiatria

The seventh edition of "Peridontal Instrumentation and Advanced Root Instrumentation" continues in the tradition of bringing faculty and students everything they need to understand instrumentation and put knowledge into practice. Taking a highly visual, step-by-step approach, this title is an easy-to-use guide to learning this crucial component of dental hygiene. No other text offers such an array of features and topics, all presented by one of the most well-known authors in the dental hygiene field. This new edition combines a focus on currency, with updated content to reflect new technologies and regulations in this field, as well as coupling the text with the robust and valuable ancillaries you have come to expect from Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins' dental hygiene products. Covering all necessary topics, this edition also features detailed information on: design and use of advanced periodontal instruments; advanced instrumentation techniques; instrumentation of dental implants; ultrasonic instrumentation with modern precision-thin instrument tips; modifications to "standard" techniques: hyper-extended joints, standing to work on patient that cannot be placed in a supine (flat) position; and, air polishing. NEW! Additional photographs and added content in topics that are new or evolving in dental hygiene! Module outlines at the beginning of each chapter make it easier to locate specific texts within the section, and provides an organizational framework for the material. Learning objectives assist students in recognizing and studying important concepts in each chapter. A Step-by-step format allows the learner to work independently and at his or her own pace-fostering student autonomy and decision-making skills. Key terms are listed at the start of each module to help students learn and understand a whole new dental vocabulary as they move through the text. Study aids, including -boxes, tables, and flow charts-visually highlight and reinforce important content and permit quick reference during technique practice and at-home review. Critical thinking activities-in the Practical Focus sections of the book-encourage students to apply concepts to clinical situations, facilitate classroom discussion, and promote the development of student problem-solving skills. Case-based patient experiences allow students to apply instrumentation concepts to patient cases. The glossary of instrumentation terms provides quick access to instrumentation terminology. Skill evaluation checklists guide student practice, promote student self-assessment skills, and provide benchmarks for faculty evaluation of skill attainment.

Integrated Clinical Orthodontics provides an important new resource on the clinical interactions between the practice of orthodontics and other areas of clinical dentistry and medicine. Having at its heart the paradigm of patient-centred care, the book not only integrates the knowledge, skills, and experience of all the disciplines of dentistry and medicine, but also eases the work of orthodontists in arriving at an accurate diagnosis and a comprehensive treatment plan. Presented in a highly visual and practical format, Integrated Clinical Orthodontics uses clinical case presentations to illustrate the rationale and application of the integrated approach to a variety of clinical scenarios. Integrated Clinical Orthodontics covers areas of complexity in clinical orthodontics, specifically the role of the orthodontist as a member of a multidisciplinary team. The book outlines and details the management of congenital orofacial deformities, sleep disorders, esthetic smile creation and temporomandibular joint problems, and additionally and importantly includes specific protocols for effective communication with experts in other specialties.

Fisiologia del cavo orale: funzioni secretive, fisiologia e meccanismi di difesa del territorio intraorale, eruzione dentaria, placca e depositi dentari, metabolismo del calcio e del fosforo Aspetti sensoriali della neurofisiologia dell’apparato stomatognatico: sensibilità meccanocettiva, nocicettiva e termocettiva nei territori orale e intraorale e nel complesso pulpodentinale, gusto e olfatto, integrazione sensoriale Aspetti motorî della neurofisiologia dell’apparato stomatognatico: meccanica e controllo della masticazione, riflessi trigeminali, controllo della postura mandibolare, deglutizione e riflesso del vomito, protezione delle vie aeree, movimenti linguali, fonazione Fisiologia Orale e dell’Apparato Stomatognatico affronta lo studio degli argomenti strettamente attinenti al territorio orofacciale attraverso una trattazione approfondita, per fornire allo studente un quadro il più possibile completo di ciò che avviene nella cavità orale. Questo testo nasce dall'esperienza didattica, maturata in anni di insegnamento della Fisiologia Umana e dell’Apparato Stomatognatico nel corso di Laurea Magistrale in Odontoiatria e Protesi Dentaria. La conoscenza della fisiologia degli organi e apparati umani è centrale per il medico, così come deve esserlo per l’odontoiatra e per tutti i laureati in discipline sanitarie che possono trovarsi a valutare funzioni e parametri vitali. Per questi motivi, in molte facoltà mediche è stato dato un giusto rilievo in termini di crediti formativi all’insegnamento di Fisiologia nel corso di Laurea in Odontoiatria, dove è ora possibile dedicare un congruo numero di lezioni non solo alla fisiologia di organi e apparati, ma anche alla fisiologia dell’apparato stomatognatico. La mancanza di testi di fisiologia dove affrontare lo studio degli argomenti strettamente attinenti al territorio orofacciale crea, però, difficoltà oggettive di preparazione degli studenti di Odontoiatria, che si palesano in sede di esame. Abbiamo perciò inteso preparare questo volume con lo scopo di offrire agli studenti del corso di Laurea in Odontoiatria una trattazione esaustiva della fisiologia orale e dell’apparato stomatognatico. Questo testo non si focalizza soltanto sulle funzioni secretive, sull’integrazione sensoriale e sul controllo della funzione masticatoria, che di solito costituiscono il cuore delle lezioni di fisiologia per gli odontoiatri. Per dare un quadro il più completo possibile di ciò che avviene nella cavità orale, ci siamo preoccupati di inserire capitoli specifici dedicati all’eruzione dentaria, alla fonazione e al mantenimento delle condizioni ottimali delle funzioni orali. Il controllo della posizione della mandibola, in particolare, è inquadrato anche nel contesto generale della postura. Questo aspetto è di particolare rilevanza, alla luce del fatto che oggi, molto spesso, l’odontoiatria è chiamato a intervenire sull’occlusione per risolvere problematiche che riguardano la postura corporea. Inoltre, si è cercato di mettere per quanto possibile gli studenti in contatto con le metodologie e con le osservazioni sperimentali che generano le nozioni di base che essi devono apprendere. Il volume può soddisfare anche le esigenze degli studenti del corso di Laurea per Igienista Dentale, che potranno estrapolare dal testo i concetti più importanti per la loro preparazione, tralasciando le parti più specialistiche scritte in caratteri minori. Per quanti hanno deciso di utilizzare questo testo come strumento per la didattica e lo studio sulla piattaforma on line Virtual campus è disponibile materiale supplementare.

Wiley-Blackwell's "Clinical Cases" series is designed to recognize the centrality of clinical cases to the profession by providing actual cases with an academic backbone. Clinical Cases in Periodontics describes the core principles of periodontics and demonstrates their practical, every-day application through a range of representative cases building from the simple to the complex and from the common to the rare. This unique approach supports the new trend in case-based and problem-based learning, thoroughly covering topics ranging from infant oral health to complex pulp therapy. Highly illustrated in full color, Clinical Cases in Periodontics utilizes a format that fosters independent learning and prepares the reader for case-based examinations.The book presents actual clinical cases, accompanied by academic commentary, that question and educate the reader about essential topics in periodontics. The book begins with a set of cases illustrating the most common diagnoses and the key decisions and evaluations leading up to them. Subsequent chapters continue in this style, presenting exemplary cases as the basis of discussing various treatment options including surgical and non-surgical treatment, regenerative therapy, mucogingival therapy, and interdisciplinary treatments. Concluding chapters cover implant site development and general prevention of such periodontal diseases.Clinical Cases in Periodontics's case-based format is particularly useful for pre-doctoral dental students, post-graduate residents and practitioners, both as a textbook from which to learn about the challenging and absorbing nature of periodontology, and also as a reference tool to help with treatment planning when complex cases present in the dental office.

Changes in the etiology and management of Maxillofacial Trauma over the past 10 years have led to the need for a new book on this complex area of trauma. "Maxillofacial Trauma" is a landmark new one-volume, full colour text covering all aspects of the management of facial trauma. Written by an international team of oral and maxillofacial and plastic surgeons, "Maxillofacial Trauma" provides detailed practical guidance from the moment the trauma patient arrives in hospital to the secondary procedures that may be needed for reconstruction of hard and soft tissue injuries of the face. All aspects of maxillofacial trauma are covered - from management of the acute trauma case to secondary procedures to improve facial appearance and function. There are comprehensive chapters on each facial bone injury including protocols for the overall management of each fracture. It includes an extensive section on secondary procedures that attempts to improve the final outcome of trauma. A review is included for all new bio materials used in the repair of facial fractures. 750 color prints demonstrate clearly the final results from primary repair and secondary procedures. 250 surgical line illustrations show step-by-step surgical procedures. This book should be read by all those who face the challenges of facial trauma. Trainee and practicing oral, maxillofacial, otolaryngologic and plastic surgeons will find it particularly valuable.
