Dentistry and related oral medicines Books

Book SynopsisThere's a silent epidemic in western civilization, and it is right under our noses. Our jaws are getting smaller and our teeth crooked and crowded, creating not only aesthetic challenges but also difficulties with breathing. Modern orthodontics has persuaded us that braces and oral devices can correct these problems. While teeth can certainly be straightened, what about the underlying causes of this rapid shift in oral evolution and the health risks posed by obstructed airways? Sandra Kahn and Paul R. Ehrlich, a pioneering orthodontist and a world-renowned evolutionist, respectively, present the biological, dietary, and cultural changes that have driven us toward this major health challenge. They propose simple adjustments that can alleviate this developing crisis, as well as a major alternative to orthodontics that promises more significant long-term relief. Jaws will change your life. Every parent should read this book.Trade Review"Paul Ehrlich is the world's best-known and most distinguished ecologist, and one of the best known figures in any field of science. Now, teaming up with Sandra Kahn, he offers us his most personal and practical book to date. You'll discover the widespread consequences of how you carry out such seemingly mundane, automatic, and repetitive acts as breathing, smiling, and sleeping—and how your ways of doing those things affect peoples' perceptions of you. Read, enjoy, learn, and prepare to be astonished!"—Jared Diamond, Pulitzer-Prize-winning author of Guns, Germs, and Steel "The specialty of orthodontics has the potential to lead the way out of this epidemic of chronic disease (including malocclusion). We need only read and understand this book first."—Barry Raphael, Head of the Raphael Center for Integrative Orthodontics"People have some power to protect their children from this serious and cryptic environmental problem. Jaws lays out both causes and cures."—Gretchen C. Daily, Bing Professor of Environmental Science, Stanford UniversityJaws is a must read for every parent on this planet. It addresses the causes of our chronic health crisis and tells us how to prevent it while correcting our faces, jaws and airways. Airway health will give the most added value for this generation's overall wellness."—Michael Gelb DDS, MS"Jaws: The Story of a Hidden Epidemic is a well-researched book providing unique overview and insight in to a healthcare problem frequently overlooked by child healthcare professionals. Sleep is likely as important to health and well-being as food, but receives little attention. This book is an important read for all professionals who care for children. It also asks questions for possible future research in the field of pediatric obstructive sleep disordered breathing."—Stephen H. Sheldon, author of Principles and Practice of Pediatric Sleep Medicine"Drs. Kahn and Ehrlich's cogent narrative describing the structural, functional and behavioral changes in the human species truly challenges the cultural and educational orthodoxies in the West's disease management healthcare system. It begs the question, 'why did it take so long to bring this enlightened insight into mainstream thought with all the available evidence presented?' The answer to this question is meticulously answered in the very readable pages of this important work; read on!"—Mark A. Cruz, DDS, The Airway and Facial Development Collaborative"Elucidation of what can be called a classic public health risk factor for a little understood disease, one with heavy influence of both social determinants and individual behaviors as well as their interactions."—Kirk R. Smith, University of California, Berkeley"Your Oral Posture is your future."—John Mew, Head of the London School of Facial Orthotropics"Every parent wants their child to grow strong and healthy. Orthodontics chosen for your child can be the most important choice to give a structural foundation to health. Sandra and Paul present important information that any parent should know about in order to give their children the cranial facial structure for beauty and health. This is a brilliant work by two brilliant scientists."—Mark Abrahamson, Stanford Center for Integrative Medicine"This manuscript looks beyond the flashy smile that so many of us pay our orthodontists for and asks the hard question: Why is it we are almost all born with the faces of angels, yet so few maintain that face value of our innate and inborn beauty? The answer revealed is intriguing, thought provoking and a much needed call to action to fight for the fullest physical potential for all our children. A must read!"—Simon Wong, BDSc., London School of Facial Orthotropics"Everyone who is concerned about health needs to have this information."—William M. Hang DDS, MSD"About 90 percent of our children have bite problems. When more than 50 percent of a population has a problem it is an epidemic. Sandra Kahn and Paul Ehrlich present the causes and consequences of this epidemic affecting our young generations. This book educates the public and dental community on treating and preventing the underlying problem, instead of just aligning teeth."—German Ramirez-Yañez DDS, MDSc, MSc, PhD"Every new parent should chew on this book. Who knew that how we suckle, chew and breathe as an infant can set us off on a course toward serious orthodontic treatment, a life of sleep apnea, cardiovascular problems and sudden death while sleeping? Kahn and Ehrlich clearly and comprehensively describe a hidden epidemic that impairs the health of far too many people, young and old. They explore the causes of the epidemic, and crucially, provide practical advice that helps you prevent the epidemic from affecting your child, or amazingly, how its progress can be reversed in childhood if it has already started. This book should be in every new mom's care package when she leaves the hospital."—John Peterson Myers, Chief Scientist, Environmental Health Sciences"Sandra Kahn and Paul Ehrlich clearly define and explain the hidden epidemic that exists around us. Emphasizing prevention and cure rather than symptom management, this book is a must read."—Dror Aizenbud, DMD, MSc, Rambam Medical Campus, Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa, Israel"This epidemic has important consequences for heart health. I'm delighted Jaws is bringing it home to both citizens and health care professionals."—Dr. John S. Schroeder, Professor of Cardiovascular Medicine, Stanford UniversityTable of Contents1.

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

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.

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

Book SynopsisWiley-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 Orthodontics applies both theory and practice to real-life orthodontic cases in a clinically relevant format.Trade Review“The most valuable part of this book is the problem-based learning approach to diagnosis and treatment planning in orthodontics and it will certainly be useful in this regard for specialist trainees and orthodontic therapists preparing for examinations.” (Orthodontics, 1 January 2013) "This book is comprehensive and effective as it creates a vivid overall picture of orthodontic treatment. Students and established practitioners alike can benefit from this book and can glean a lot of information from the interesting way that its information is presented." (Journal of the Massachusetts Dental Society, 1 April 2013) “Undeniably, this book meets its aims and is an excellent introduction to ‘bread-and-butter’ clinical orthodontics. Orthodontic trainees in their first years, and especially those learning with little clinical guidance from experienced orthodontists, will definitely find it a very valuable supplement to fundamental textbooks.” (European Journal of Orthodontics, 1 April 2013) Table of ContentsAcknowledgements vi Preface vii 1 Clinical and Cephalometric Analysis 1 2 The Developing Dentition 27 3 Class I Malocclusion 77 4 Class II Division 1 Malocclusion 129 5 Class II Division 2 Malocclusion 191 6 Class III Malocclusion 219 7 Tooth Impaction 297 8 Fixed Appliances 343 9 Stability and Retention 361 10 Orthognathic Surgery 379 11 Development of the Craniofacial Region 431 Index 439
