\"\"<\/a>Cephalometry in Orthodontics: 2D and 3D<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Edited by Katherine Kula and Ahmed Ghoneima<\/em><\/p>\n

Cephalometrics has been used for decades to diagnose orthodontic problems and evaluate treatment. However, the shift from 2D to 3D radiography has left some orthodontists unsure about how to use this method effectively. This book defines and depicts all cephalometric landmarks on a skull or spine in both 2D and 3D and then identifies them on radiographs. Each major cephalometric analysis is described in detail, and the linear or angular measures are shown pictorially for better understanding. Because many orthodontists pick specific measures from various cephalometric analyses to formulate their own analysis, these measures are organized relative to the skeletal or dental structure and then compared or contrasted relative to diagnosis, growth, and treatment. Cephalometric norms (eg, age, sex, ethnicity) are also discussed relative to treatment and esthetics. The final chapter shows the application of these measures to clinical cases to teach clinicians and students how to use them effectively. As radiology transitions from 2D to 3D, it is important to evaluate the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of each in diagnosis and treatment, and this book outlines all of the relevant concerns for daily practice.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Short and Ultra-Short Implants<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Edited by Douglas Deporter<\/em><\/p>\n

Research has shown that short implants are not only a viable option but oftentimes a superior one that carries fewer risks for the patient and dentist, especially in resorbed jaw sites. As clinical trials continue to underscore the safety and efficacy of short implants, more dentists are considering their use with real interest, and this book provides the information clinicians need to incorporate short implants into their own practice. The book reviews the clinical effectiveness of short implants and then describes treatment protocols for the various types of short implants and their placement in different areas of the mouth. Case presentations demonstrate the recommended techniques and showcase the results.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Autologous Blood Concentrates<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Arun K. Garg<\/em><\/p>\n

Since the discovery of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) 25 years ago, interest in the use of autologous blood concentrates as adjuncts to surgical treatment has exploded. As more and more medically useful components of autologous blood concentrates have been identified, a host of unique acronyms such as PRF, CGF, PRGF, and more have surfaced, resulting in significant confusion among clinicians as to which material to use and when. Written by one of the original co-discoverers of PRP, this book tackles this issue of “too much information” by illuminating the science behind the clinical use of autologous blood concentrates as adjuncts to surgical treatment and helps to establish a foundation of practical knowledge for clinical use. The first part of the book summarizes the current literature from all aspects of medicine currently using autologous blood concentrates, showing both the possible applications as well as the limitations of these biologic materials. The second part of the book provides step-by-step instructions and richly illustrated treatment protocols for a number of applications for autologous blood concentrates specific to the practice of implantology and oral and maxillofacial surgery. Comprehensively researched and expertly written, this book is a must for clinicians who are just beginning to incorporate autologous blood concentrate treatment into their practice as well as experienced practitioners.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Decision Making for Retreatment of Failures in Dental Medicine<\/a> (DVD-ROM)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Giorgio Tabanella (editor)<\/em><\/p>\n

When patients present to the dental clinic for retreatment, there is little room for error. Cases requiring retreatment may have already resulted in complications, failures, and even iatrogenic damage. It is therefore in the best interest of patients and for the discipline that clinicians share protocols, techniques, and innovations used in retreatment to improve the quality of care and avoid further error. The clinical cases depicted in this DVD compendium all lay bare two things: first the medical mistake and then the innovative fix that allowed for a successful outcome at retreatment.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Dental Visualization: A Practical Approach to Digital Photography and Workflow<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Mirela Feraru and Nitzan Bichacho<\/em><\/p>\n

This book concentrates the authors\u2019 extensive knowledge of clinical dental photography into a comprehensive, practical, and relevant guide for the practicing clinician. What sets this book apart from other titles available on dental photography is that it focuses not on artistic photography but rather on the concept of dental visualization<\/em>: dental photographs that are taken and used as a clinically relevant tool. The major principles of dental photography are broken down into concise chapters and illustrated with high-quality, detailed images. Topics covered include photographic equipment, camera components, digital documentation, and troubleshooting. Simplified protocols for achieving high-end photographic results are presented step by step, and considerations for the different dental specialties are also described. This book promises to be an invaluable tool for both general practitioners and specialists to elevate their services provided by using dental photography.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Botulinum Toxin for Facial Harmony<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Altamiro Fl\u00e1vio<\/em><\/p>\n

The mastery of dentistry brings esthetic knowledge of the face that is applicable to more than just the teeth. In the process of performing a complete facial analysis, the practitioner can identify asymmetries and concerns localized to an area\u2014such as the forehead, eyebrows, nose, or lower face\u2014and offer Botox therapy to increase facial harmony. This book outlines the many clinical uses for Botox, with detailed illustrations\u00a0and case presentations to support each procedure. The first part of the book covers systematic facial analysis, photographic documentation, and how to plan treatment. Special attention is paid to the anatomy and physiology of the face and the identification of injection points. Detailed treatment instructions for dosage, syringe type, and needle size are included for each procedure, as well as guidelines on how to evaluate results anthropometrically to determine whether esthetic treatment goals have been met. This stunning book will change the way you approach facial analysis and widen your esthetic treatment options for patients.<\/p>\n
