Successful Local Anesthesia for Restorative Dentistry and Endodontics, Second Edition

Al Reader, John Nusstein, and Melissa Drum

Fear of pain is the number one reason people give for not making regular visits to the dentist. At the same time, a majority of dentists report experiencing anesthesia-related problems during restorative and endodontic dental procedures. If dentists are able to deliver painless treatment, patient compliance and satisfaction are likely to improve. Administration of local anesthesia is the first step of every dental procedure, and it affects the success of the entire appointment. If the patient is not adequately anesthetized, difficulties will arise. This book will help you successfully anesthetize your patients using the newest technology and drugs available. It presents the rationale, advantages, and limitations of the various anesthetic agents and routes of administration. Special emphasis is placed on supplemental anesthetic techniques that are essential to the practice of dentistry. This second edition brings the literature up to date and includes an expanded chapter on pulpal anesthesia.

Peter Sheridan

The primary aim of this seminal book is to make the case that digital photography is an essential instrument for evidence and interaction in dental practice.Unlike many books on this subject, this book redefines the scope of and rationale for clinical photography beyond the obvious focal point of anterior teeth and esthetics to include all oral tissues and the entire spectrum of dental care. In addition, the author outlines the most suitable camera equipment and accessories, the correct technique and positioning, and the protocol for digital image management to ensure high-quality images. This book will help dentists appreciate the value and scope of digital photography in general dentistry and allow them to seamlessly incorporate the equipment and techniques into their clinical practice and workflow. An essential book that expands the place of clinical photography and underscores its role in improving clinical records and communication.
