CRC Press Dental Statistics Made Easy
Book SynopsisThis essential textbook presents the basics of dental statistics in an accessible way, combining explanation in non-technical language with key messages, practical examples, suggestions for further reading and exercises complete with detailed solutions. There is an emphasis on the principles and application of statistics without the use of algebra.The statistical material is strongly rooted in practical examples drawn from a wide range of journal articles representing both dental health care delivery and clinical dentistry. The perspective is international, with papers drawn from a variety of settings around the world. Many articles are recent and report contemporary developments in dental care.The intended audience includes dental students and practitioners, those engaged in dental research and other health care professionals. For students and tutors, it covers the undergraduate curriculum, and the exercises and solutions make it ideal for course use. For practitionerTrade Review"The author, who has a long track record of communicating statistics to non-experts, has for over 20 years steeped himself in the world of dental health care. The fruits of his experience are demonstrated by the rich set of examples which he brings to every chapter of the book. The subject matter of each chapter are applicable to any field involving statistical reasoning, but the authoritative way in which he relates every piece of teaching to realistic questions for dental care practitioners is most convincing. Previous generations of the dental community who have attempted to learn statistics have often had to turn to medical statistics textbooks. However, Smeeton has managed to break this mould and demonstrate properly the application of statistics in dentistry. His treatment of statistical concepts is orthodox and sound, but this third edition of the book has evolved to meet changing needs of the intended audience, including a welcome chapter on evidence-based dentistry. I anticipate many undergraduate and postgraduate dental students will find this book to be their primary source for their use of statistics."—Richard Morris, Professor in Medical Statistics, University of Bristol"The first edition of Nigel Smeeton’s highly accessible guide to research design and statistics was a breakthrough in providing a simple and easy to read guide to conducting research studies in dentistry. And now this third edition, which comprises 18 chapters, spans the principles of research design, broad aspects of the ethics of research, principles of statistical analysis and the appraisal of research (including peer review of manuscripts). Each chapter provides an introduction to the topic it will address which outlines the importance of the topic and the areas that will be covered, this is followed by the main body of the chapter, and is concluded with a short test for the reader to appraise their own learning. The author draws extensively on published dental research to provide examples. The most remarkable aspect of this book is that there is so little mathematics in it. The focus of the learning is understanding how statistics work without delving into the formulae. The third edition brings a new chapter on evidence based dental practice which is becoming increasingly important for policy and practice. There are also some new sections on advanced techniques – which with the increased availability of statistical software are being used more widely.There is little doubt that this is a very useful book for undergraduate dental students learning the skills of research design and critical appraisal of scientific research which will form part of the foundation for their future learning and continuing professional development. Throughout the text the key learning points are emphasised, and there are exercises to test the new learning. I would strongly recommend it for undergraduate courses. However I also believe it will be very useful for qualified practitioners who are keen to develop an awareness of statistical issues, in order to support an evidence-based approach to dental practice."–J T Newton, King’s College London Dental InstituteTable of ContentsPreface Preface to the second edition Preface to the first edition Introduction Planning a study Types of study in dental research Sampling Randomised controlled trials Ethical considerations The Normal distribution Diagnostic tests Sampling variation Introduction to hypothesis tests Comparing two means Dealing with proportions and categorical data Comparing several means Regression, correlation and agreement Non-Normally distributed data The choice of sample size Evidence based dentistry Statistical refereeing Appendix Solutions to exercises Index

Hay House UK Ltd The Dental Diet: The Surprising Link between Your
Book Synopsis'This book takes a preventative stance towards dentistry, and investigates everything from breastfeeding to gut bacteria, to uncover how to support a truly healthy mouth.' PsychologiesTeeth are often considered the marker of health, attractiveness, success, and even happiness. Yet our approach to dental care has been fearful, costly, and segregated from other parts of the body. We've long known that oral health echoes our overall well-being. But what if we were to flip the paradigm? What if we thought about dental health as the foundation for our physical health?Dr Steven Lin, an experienced dentist and the world's leading dental nutritionist, has forged a new scientific outlook to reshape our perception of dental disease. Through ancestral medicine, epigenetics and an examination of the oral and gut microbiome, Dr Lin has developed food-based principles for a holistic health approach that is literally top-down. Merging dental and nutritional science, Dr Lin lays out the dietary program that prevents painful cavities and dental treatment, giving you the resources to raise kids who develop naturally straight teeth. His 40-day meal plan is complete with the Dental Diet food pyramid, exercises for the mouth, recipes and cooking techniques to help you easily and successfully implement these practices in your everyday life.Since our mouth is the gatekeeper of our entire body, keeping our oral microbiome balanced is essential for creating and maintaining a healthy and wholesome self. The tools to improve overall wellness levels and reverse disease are closer than we think-in our markets, in our pantries, and, most frequently, in our mouths.

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Basic Guide to Dental Instruments
Book SynopsisBasic Guide to Dental Instruments provides a working inventory of dental instrumentation in common use in dental surgeries. A clear photograph of each instrument is included, and described according to name, usage, any relevant features and varieties. Each section is dedicated to a specific discipline or division of dentistry. Complete set-ups have been included at the end of most sections for various procedures. The coverage reflects instrumentation and accessory items used in general dental practice, routine hospital dental procedures and selected specialist settings. The author adopts a flexible approach which recognises that some instruments are multi-functional, and their names and usage can vary across dental surgeries. This approach, coupled with the range of instruments covered, makes the book an ideal ''portable'' resource across general practice, hospital and a range of specialist settings. The book also highlights instruments which can be easily confused. In additTrade Review“In conclusion I would describe this new edition as a concise illustrated guide of commonly used dental instruments, set over 18 sections, which provides an excellent reference for trainee dentists and nurses.” (VVT Magazine, 1 March 2012) "The second edition of this book supersedes its predecessor boasting updated photographs of a high quality, as well as an extended section on instruments used during implant related procedures ... This is undoubtedly a useful book for individuals at an early stage of their clinical careers as well as for those revising for dental OSCEs at both undergraduate and postgraduate level."

Temple Lodge Publishing The Wisdom of Teeth: Dentosophy – A Gateway to
Book SynopsisWhat if our teeth are a reflection of who we are? What if dental problems such as toothache, decay and malpositioning illustrate the deep functioning of our true self? What if, by harmonizing our mouths, we could allay many of our physical and mental ills? After years of dental practice, Michel Montaud made a breakthrough that would change his life and work completely. Without being fully conscious of what he was doing, he engaged in a dental therapy which would prove to be remarkably effective, going beyond the simple framework of mouth and teeth to extend to the human being as a whole. This guided self-therapy, which he refers to as Dentosophy, is a true alternative to the drastic measures of extraction, surgery and orthodontics. From personal experience, the author states that this approach can even remedy ailments such as chronic rhinitis and otitis, eczema, allergies, asthma, back problems and sleep disorders. Montaud describes his personal journey of discovery, initially to help his suffering son. Now, after decades of experience and numerous eloquent clinical results, he demonstrates that this human-based approach to our mouth and teeth can stimulate, at any age, the extraordinary healing potential of our bodies. With case studies and supporting photographic evidence, he shows that Dentosophy improves the general health of patients, both physical and mental. This illustrated and accessible book offers an exciting new perspective on our teeth and their innate wisdom.Table of ContentsPublisher’s Note – Acknowledgements – Author’s Note – Preface to the Second Edition – Preface: My Story – Introduction: Dentosophy – Chapter 1: Our approach to dental care – Chapter 2: The links between mouth and the body – Chapter 3: Links between the mouth, the physical body and the psyche – Chapter 4: Teeth reading: a universal language – Chapter 5: Harmony and beauty – Conclusion: The original language – Appendix I: Senegal’s Traditional Medicine and HIV-AIDS, Keur Massar Traditional Hospital (Senegal), by Professor Yvette Parès – Appendix II: Backache and Podiatry – Glossary – Bibliography

Chelsea Green Publishing Co It's All in Your Mouth: Biological Dentistry and
Book SynopsisThe future of medicine - and the key to a healthier life - starts in your mouth Many common chronic conditions such as obesity, inflammation, stroke, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, heart disease, and cancer, amongst others, often have their origins in the mouth. In his groundbreaking new work It’s All in Your Mouth, German dentist Dr. Dominik Nischwitz presents the principles of ‘biological dentistry’, along with emerging scientific research on the mouth’s vital role in the body’s microbiome - a key to whole body wellness. It’s All in Your Mouth challenges the conventional dental wisdom that views teeth as separate from the rest of the body, and conventional dental practices that often cause more harm than good. You’ll discover: The latest research on the body’s microbiome and relationship to the mouth Critical information on the dangers of root canals and amalgam fillings The important role of nutrition in oral health and hygiene A clarion call for a new approach to dentistry Sensible, holistic, and humane, It’s All in Your Mouth offers a much-needed new approach to natural immunity to chronic disease, and integrating dental hygiene into whole body health.Trade Review“This is a much-needed book! Teeth are living organs, and their health is closely connected with the health of the whole body. Unhealthy gums, root canals, amalgam fillings, and other dental problems can cause severe degenerative conditions including any autoimmune disease, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, multiple sclerosis, allergies, and digestive problems. We need wholistic dentistry more than ever today, and this book is written by a wholistic dentist. I warmly recommend this book!”—Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride, author of Gut and Psychology Syndrome“Having grown up in a family in which my father and grandfather were both dentists, I must admit I wanted nothing to do with the subject. Unfortunately for me that meant I have spent most of my career choosing to ignore the profound connection between dental health and whole body health. The concise and informative book by Dr. Nischwitz showed me in very clear terms that this has been a mistake. Many things affect our overall health, but perhaps none are as important as the state of our teeth. I encourage everyone to read It’s All in Your Mouth and start putting Dr. Nischwitz’s ideas into action.”—Tom Cowan, MD, author of Cancer and the New Biology of Water“There’s been a huge shift in awareness about how to achieve optimal health, but many people still miss where it all begins: the mouth. It’s All in Your Mouth cleverly combines functional and naturopathic medicine with advanced dentistry. This book is biological dentistry at its absolute best.”—Tim Gray, biohacker; founder, Health Optimisation Summit“A fascinating exploration of the fundamental connection between the health of your mouth, overall well-being, and your ability to perform on and off the field. An essential for anyone looking to reach their performance potential!”—Dr. Marc Bubbs, ND, MSc, CISSN, CSCS, author of Peak
