Book SynopsisThis book focuses on recent advances in dental gold alloys and gold nanoparticles (GNPs) for biomedical applications. Dental gold alloys combine several highly desirable mechanical properties, such as high strength, ductility, and elasticity, with an extremely robust chemical stability in the mouth. Moreover, astonishing progress has been made in the use of GNPs as novel gold biomaterials that provide a multifunctional platform for cellular imaging, biosensing, and targeted drug delivery in tumour immunotherapy and photothermal therapy. Beginning with a comprehensive overview of the development and use of dental gold alloys, the book addresses the materials properties that are crucial for dental applications, focusing on aspects such as microstructure, chemical and mechanical stability, ageing, biocompatibility, and colour retention. The book then shifts focus to the use of GNPs in dental applications, delving into different techniques of GNP synthesis for specifically tailoring the size, shape, and stability of GNPs in biological media. In addition to these factors, it addresses how their exposure route, surface chemistry, as well as how the steric effects of their coating impact biodistribution and determine the level of GNP toxicity in the human body. Featuring topical literature reviews alongside up-to-date published experimental results, this book offers an attractive resource for practicing scientists and engineers working in the field of gold-based biomaterials.Table of Contents

Book SynopsisThe book presents a multi-disciplinary approach to understanding mechanisms regulating the formation of mineral in vertebrate skeletal and dental tissues. The focus of the book is directed toward the mineralization process, an evolutionarily conserved system in which cells synthesize a complex and unique extracellular matrix into which mineral is deposited. Regulatory control is viewed though lenses that emphasize the genetic, physical-chemical, biochemical, structural, cellular and extracellular aspects of the mineralization process as they relate to crystal nucleation, growth and maturation. Throughout the book, defects in regulation at the genetic and transcriptional levels are linked to the numerous clinical problems associated with the mineralization of bone, cartilage, tendon, tooth, and soft tissues. The book serves as a comprehensive text for basic scientists and scholars working in the many areas that comprise hard tissue research, as well as undergraduate and graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and those contemplating working in the field of biomineralization or who need a review of a specific mineralization topic. The information contained in the book is relevant for clinicians and clinical scientists in the fields of orthopaedic surgery, veterinary medicine, dentistry, endocrinology, aging and genetics.Table of ContentsIntroduction.- In the Beginning.- The Enigma of Edith: Free Energy, Nucleation and the Formation of Mineral.- Form and Function of Tissues that Undergo Mineralization.- Genes and Gene Networks Regulating Mineralization.- Calcium and Phosphate Ion Uptake, Distribution and Homeostasis in Cells of Vertebrate Mineralizing Tissues.- Calcium and Phosphate Ion Efflux from Cells: The Roles of Matrix Vesicles, Extracellular Vesicles, and Other Membrane-invested Transporters in Vertebrate Hard Tissue Mineralization.- Collagen-based Mineralization of Bones, Teeth and Other Vertebrate Skeletal Tissues.- The Role of Non-collagenous Proteins and Other Matrix Molecules in Vertebrate Mineralization.- Local and Systemic Regulation of Mineralization: Role of Coupling Factors, Pyrophosphate, Polyphosphates, Vitamin D, Fetuin, Matrix Gla Protein and Osteopontin.- Observations Concerning Mineral Deposition in Soft Tissues: Regulation of Aberrant Mineral Deposits.- Epilogue.

Book SynopsisThis book explores, in a comprehensive and systematic manner, Surgical Research methodologies to the design and development of investigational studies in the field of implant-based oral rehabilitation. Such studies are linked in a chain binding in vitro, in vivo, ex vivo, and digital evaluations. An ambitious objective consists in exposing how investigators can generate and deliver knowledge by capturing synergy coming from preclinical and clinical trials. Accordingly, throughout the book, translational aspects are closely scrutinized. The opening chapters consider materials, methods and procedures for preclinical and clinical studies in which approaches and models are extensively described. The focus then moves to the process by which application of histology, biomechanics, biomarkers, cellular/molecular biology, and imaging technologies lead to new results and consequently novel treatment concepts in implant dentistry, implant borne prosthetic rehabilitations and the replacement or regeneration of tissues. Finally, the exciting opportunities afforded by the digital world are addressed.

Book SynopsisThis atlas is unique in comparing the two disciplines of dental implant surgery and tooth-preserving surgery with respect to common procedures, problems, and failures and in providing excellent guidance on the prevention and management of complications. The etiology of a wide variety of implant-related and non-implant-related complications and failures is carefully explained. Since many complications have their roots in oral and periodontal surgical maneuvers, these maneuvers are themselves discussed and extensively illustrated. The most frequently used tooth preservation procedures are also fully described, with emphasis on correct surgical technique as a means to avoid complications. The use of these procedures is constantly weighed against the effects of tooth removal and insertion of dental implants. The text is complemented by the inclusion of a substantial number of helpful references. While the atlas is intended primarily for dentists involved in outpatient implant dentistry and oral surgery, oral and maxillofacial surgeons will also find the descriptions of innovative techniques or maneuvers to be of interest, including those relating to the selection of incision and flap design and the sinus floor elevation techniques.Table of ContentsEtiology of Complications and Failures.- Common Measures and Obstacles Related to Dental Implant and Teeth Preserving Surgery.- Teeth Preserving Surgical Procedures Revisited: Apicoectomy.- Cystectomy.- Replantation and Transplantation of Teeth.- Periodontal Surgery.- Endo-Perio Surgery.- Mucogingival Surgery.- Vestibuloplasty.- Orthodontic Surgery.- Complications and Failures Related to Implant Dentistry – Etiology, Management and Prevention: Implant Related.- Non-Implant Related.- Explantation Techniques.- Prosthetic Complications.- Hints and Tips for Avoiding Complications: General Considerations.- Avoiding Dental Implant Complications.- Avoiding Teeth Preserving Surgery Complications.​

Book SynopsisThis book provides a comprehensive overview of dislocation of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), covering all relevant aspects, from aetiology and diagnosis to management. The treatment-oriented chapters describe nonsurgical, surgical and arthroscopic interventions, and the book closes by examining the role of total alloplastic reconstruction of the TMJ in patients with chronic jaw joint dislocation. Each chapter commences with a summary of key points and the clearly written text is supported by numerous clinical photographs, as well as by videos to which the reader will have online access. All of the authors are recognized experts in the topics that they discuss. Dislocation of the TMJ constitutes a medical emergency since prompt treatment is required in order to prevent the harmful sequelae that may arise once spasm of the muscles of mastication has become established, preventing return of the condyle into the glenoid fossa. If the condition is left untreated, radical corrective surgery may be required to restore jaw function and eliminate pain. In presenting state of the art knowledge on TMJ dislocation, this book will be of value for all involved in the management of the condition.Trade Review“The book is an update of the problematic cases of dislocation of the temporomandibular joint, constituting a useful source of information for both the general dentist and the OMF surgeon.” (Stomatology EDU Journal, Vol. 6 (4), 2019)“The book would be useful for general practitioners who manage patients with TMJ dislocations, oral and maxillofacial surgeons, and oral surgery residents. … This is a good quality book that is easy to navigate and well organized. At only 119 pages, it can be used as a chairside reference.” (Janet H.
