\"\"<\/a>Decision Making in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Edited by Daniel M. Laskin and A. Omar Abubaker<\/em><\/p>\n

This book assembles the decision-making acumen and experience of 30 oral and maxillofacial surgery specialists who have been recognized for expertise they have developed over years of patient treatment. Drawing on this body of knowledge mediated by experience, the contributors have synthesized their standard decision-making processes into annotated diagnosis and treatment algorithms. Combining \u201cat-a-glance\u201d understanding with detailed and authoritative discussion of the salient facts and features of more than 90 pathologic entities, these treatment algorithms are especially valuable for residents, recent graduates and others treating patients who present with unfamiliar signs and symptoms or with therapeutic problems in the oral and maxillofacial region.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/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>The Tongue<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Edited by Andreas Filippi and Ir\u00e8ne Hitz Lindenm\u00fcller<\/em><\/p>\n

As the largest organ in the oral cavity, the tongue not only plays a primary role in masticatory and speech function\u2014it is also a significant indicator of health, demonstrating signs of both oral pathologies and diseases that can affect the entire body. Because no health care provider gets the opportunity to examine a patient\u2019s tongue as often as the dentist, it is essential for dentists to recognize when there may be a problem with the tongue and what the problem is. In addition to an overview of tongue anatomy and general diagnosis and treatment recommendations, this book contains an atlas of more than 50 specific diseases and health concerns that may present signs and symptoms in the tongue. Each is outlined in a quick-reference table describing etiology, prognosis, and more and is accompanied by photographs of different ways the condition can present. A true diagnostic aid, this guide will allow clinicians to identify and address any abnormality a patient\u2019s tongue may exhibit.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Clinician\u2019s Handbook of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Second Edition<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Edited by Daniel M. Laskin and Eric R. Carlson<\/em><\/p>\n

There are frequent situations in which oral and maxillofacial surgeons find themselves in need of an immediate answer to a clinical problem. However, this can involve a time-consuming search for the appropriate reference source. This book continues the format of the previous edition by providing a single place to quickly find information on a diverse range of clinical topics, including dentoalveolar surgery, maxillofacial trauma, craniofacial anomalies, and oral pathology. All of the previous chapters have been updated, and new chapters on implantology, cleft lip and palate, maxillofacial reconstruction, oral squamous cell carcinoma, and cosmetic surgery have been added. Moreover, increasing the size of the book has allowed for the inclusion of many summary charts, tables, clinical photographs, and radiographs, which was not possible in the previous version. As a result, this new edition provides expanded information in an improved format.<\/p>\n

Although this book is designed as a quick reference source, familiarizing oneself with its content in advance will both add to the reader\u2019s general knowledge base and improve the ability to find information quickly in urgent situations. Residents in oral and maxillofacial surgery should find its content particularly useful during their clinical training, and the concise organization of the material should also be helpful to them in retaining information when subsequently preparing for the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Kratochvil\u2019s Fundamentals of Removable Partial Dentures<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Ting-Ling Chang, Daniela Orellana, and John Beumer III<\/em><\/p>\n

In the 1960s, Professor F. J. Kratochvil recognized the importance of biomechanics in removable partial denture (RPD) design and used these principles to develop a new design philosophy. This \u201cRPI system\u201d\u2014a clasp assembly consisting of a rest, a proximal plate, and an I-bar retainer\u2014changed how clinicians approach partial denture design and is now used throughout the world. This textbook provides an overview of Kratochvil\u2019s design philosophy and the basic principles of biomechanics it is based upon. Topics include components of RPDs and their functions, design sequences for maxillary and mandibular RPDs, and techniques for surveying and determining the most advantageous treatment position. A chapter dedicated to digital design and manufacturing of RPD frameworks highlights new technology in this emerging field. Additional topics include optimizing esthetic outcomes through attachments and rotational path RPDs as well as applying the RPI system to patients with maxillofacial defects. The authors provide illustrations of clinical cases throughout the book as well as an illustrated glossary of prosthodontic terminology. This textbook will prepare students and general practitioners to design and fabricate a biomechanically sound RPD framework for just about any dental configuration they encounter.<\/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
