A comprehensive approach to modern caries management This systematic approach to modern caries management combines new, evidence-based treatment techniques with the scientific underpinnings of caries formation, providing an in-depth review for both clinicians in daily practice and students advancing in the field. Beginning with patho-anatomic changes in the dental hard tissues, Dental Caries: Science and Clinical Practice goes on to cover non-invasive, minimally invasive, and more aggressive interventions based on each stage of the disease. From microbiology and histology to visual, tactile and radiographic diagnosis, risk assessment, preventive measures, and tooth preservation and treatment strategies, the book is packed with valuable clinical information for all dental practitioners. Key Features: * Succinctly covers the science behind the disease, with recommendations for treatments based on assessment starting at the microscopic level * Written by a team of leading worldwide authorities on caries treatment and managementand utilizing the International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS) standard throughout* Covers the newest treatment techniques, including adhesion technology, fissure sealing and infiltration, caries removal, tooth-colored restorations, and more * Demonstrates step-by-step caries procedures in striking, full-color illustrations of adult and pediatric cases * Offers the newest thinking on early prevention and behavioral changes in oral health promotion, including the role of diet and nutrition, biofilm management, fluoride use, population-based approaches, and more Shifting to the new paradigm of heal and seal rather than the more invasive drill and fill, this beautifully illustrated text puts scientific principles into clinical action for the best results. It is an essential resource for a complete, proactive approach to caries detection, assessment, treatment, management, and prevention in contemporary dental practice.

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.

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.

Practical Osseous Surgery in Periodontics and Implant Dentistry is a step-by-step manual that guides readers through osseous surgery procedures for treating periodontal issues as well as for ensuring proper anchorage of dental implants.

Practical Osseous Surgery in Periodontics and Implant Dentistry focuses on clinical applications of surgical procedures, making it an essential tool for both specialists and generalists with an interest in implant dentistry and osseous surgery procedures.

Il libro è costantemente guidato dall'estetica, o meglio dal raggiungimento della migliore estetica possibile con le tecniche chirurgiche e protesiche. Il "cammino" che il lettore fa, leggendo il libro, lo porta attraverso le tecniche di chirurgia estetica mucogengivale, resettive, ricostruttive, accompagnato dagli accorgimenti protesici più efficaci per raggiungere l'obbiettivo. Questo cammino conduce il lettore naturalmente agli impianti ed alla ricostruzione dei tessuti duri e molli intorno ad essi. La lettura diventa un vero percorso didattico grazie alle fotografie ed ai disegni che descrivono in dettaglio le tecniche proposte, inoltre al termine di ogni capitolo, chi vorrà approfondire l'argomento, troverà una bibliografia dettagliata dei lavori più significativi relativi all'argomento discusso.
