Fernwood Publishing Co Ltd About Canada: Dental Care
Book SynopsisDental care is excluded from Canada's universal healthcare system, with services provided based on the ability to pay. Our dental-care system is leading large segments of the population to neglect care, resulting in poor oral health and all of its consequences. This book examines the history of dentistry in Canada, demonstrating how private business interests have prevailed over public health. Current trends in the industry, such as corporate ownership and a focus on cosmetic dentistry, continue this history. But change is possible. By examining alternative approaches to the current dental-care system, this book is a call to action to make a healthier future possible.

Troubador Publishing A Little Book of Impressions: A Life in the Day
Book SynopsisA Little Book of Impressions describes life behind the mirror, probe and drill. After his unexpected encounters with dentistry from an early age and his time as a student at Guy’s Hospital in the seventies, Gerald Feaver describes embarking on a fulfilling and rewarding career that became his great passion. He writes of the amazing people he met over the years and how his life was enriched by hearing insights into their remarkable lives (yes, dentists do allow their patients to speak sometimes!), fascinating tales of romance, intrigue and heroism. This memoir is full of humour, interspersed with some poignant and personal moments that encapsulate the life of a dentist and patients in a variety of situations. The perception that a visit to the dentist was something to be feared or at least endured, was an anathema to him. Gerald always wanted his patients to feel relaxed and at ease. Revealing the human side of dentistry, the care and compassion that dentists strive to achieve when treating their patients, Gerald hopes that this book may help to reduce the fear that many still have about a visit to the dentist’s chair.

JP Medical Ltd Microinvasive Dentistry: Clinical Strategies and
Book SynopsisTooth decay, also known as dental caries or cavities, is a breakdown of teeth due to acids made by bacteria. The cavities may be a number of different colours from yellow to black. Symptoms may include pain and difficulty with eating. Microinvasive techniques involve preparing the tooth surface with an acid and then either placing a seal on top of the surface or 'infiltrating' the softer demineralised tissue with resins. These newer methods work by installing a barrier either on the tooth surface or within the demineralised tissue to protect it against acids and avoid the further loss of minerals from within the tooth, thus helping to stop the decay. This book is a comprehensive guide to techniques, technologies and tools used in microinvasive dentistry. Divided into four sections, the text begins with an overview of caries and its prevention. The following sections provide in depth discussion on diagnosis through various imaging devices, then different treatment options and technologies. The final section covers future developments including enamel regeneration and photobiomodulation. Authored by an internationally recognised, New Jersey-based expert in the field, the book is further enhanced by clinical photographs, diagrams and tables. Key points Comprehensive guide to microinvasive techniques and technologies for diagnosis and management of dental caries Covers diagnostic imaging devices and numerous treatment options Authored by highly experienced, New Jersey-based expert in the field Includes clinical photographs, diagrams and tables Table of ContentsSection I: Caries prevention Introduction Prevention: fluoride & enamel regeneration Caries-penetrating resin therapy Identifying patients at risk of caries Section II: Diagnosis Intraoral video cameras Near infrared transillumination Canary System Section III: Treatment options and technique SoproLife® dental caries detection system Laser fluorescence caries diagnostic device: Diagnodent The Surgical microscope for diagnosis and treatment of caries Conventional diagnostic failures Microbiological aspects of caries treatment Air abrasion: background and cavity preparation Air abrasion: technique Erbium Lasers CO2 lasers (9300 nm) Dentin regeneration Ozone therapy Conventional treatment failures Section IV: Future caries diagnosis and management Enamel regeneration Photobiomodulation

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Biodentine™: Properties and Clinical Applications
Book SynopsisThis book is a comprehensive guide to BiodentineTM, an innovative biocompatible and bioactive material based on pure tricalcium silicate that can permanently replace dentin and can also serve as a temporary enamel substitute. Although BiodentineTM has been widely used across the world for the past decade, this is the first book to be devoted to its properties, interactions with the soft and hard tissues, and its multiple clinical applications. The coverage encompasses applications in primary and permanent teeth, in specialties as diverse as restorative dentistry, endodontics, paediatric dentistry, dental traumatology, and prosthetic dentistry. BiodentineTM application both in vital pulp therapy and endodontic procedures is illustrated and clinical step by step protocols are provided. The book provides a detailed update on BiodentineTM use to preserve the pulp vitality in direct/indirect pulp capping, pulpotomy and irreversible pulpitis treatment. It also details BiodentineTM use for non-vital teeth treatment in indications such as root/furcation perforation repair, apexification as well as in regenerative endodontic procedures.BiodentineTM: Properties and Clinical Applications will be a rich source of guidance and information for all dentists as well as dental students and academics.Table of ContentsChapter 1) Biodentine Microstructure and Composition.- Chapter 2) Biodentine Physico-chemical Properties: From Interactions with Dental Tissues to Aging.- Chapter 3) Biocompatibility and Bioactive Properties of Biodentine.- Chapter 4) Biodentine in Inflammation and Pain Control.- Chapter 5) Biodentine Clinical Applications in Vital Pulp Therapy in Permanent Teeth.- Chapter 6) Biodentine: Applications in Pulpotomy of Deciduous Teeth.- Chapter 7) Biodentine Applications in Traumatology and Fractures.- Chapter 8) Biodentine Applications in Irreversible Pulpitis Management in Children and Adults.- Chapter 9) Calcium Silicate-based Cement (Biodentine TM) as a Bioactive Material for the Long-Term Preservation of Pulp Vitality in Restorative Dentistry and Prosthodontics.- Chapter 10) Biodentine Applications in Furcation Perforation and Root Resorption.- Chapter 11) Clinical Applications of Biodentine in Regenerative Endodontics/Revitalization.
