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

Book SynopsisAll humans share certain components of tooth structure, but show variation in size and morphology around this shared pattern. This book presents a worldwide synthesis of the global variation in tooth morphology in recent populations. Research has advanced on many fronts since the publication of the first edition, which has become a seminal work on the subject. This revised and updated edition introduces new ideas in dental genetics and ontogeny and summarizes major historical problems addressed by dental morphology. The detailed descriptions of 29 dental variables are fully updated with current data and include details of a new web-based application for using crown and root morphology to evaluate ancestry in forensic cases. A new chapter describes what constitutes a modern human dentition in the context of the hominin fossil record.Trade Review'This is the second edition of The Anthropology of Modern Human Teeth: Dental Morphology and its Variation in Recent Human Populations (1997). Scott and Turner, authors of the first edition, studied dental variants and the two major patterns of Mongoloid dental variation, Sundadont and Sinodont, were described. Their dental trait evaluation system, the ASUDAS (Arizona State University Dental Anthropology System), has become an essential tool for dental anthropological researchers worldwide. In the first edition, morphological variations in dental traits were described. In the second edition, the ontogenetic, genetic and evolutionary aspects of these traits have also been covered. The authors also describe how advances in dental studies will become even more dramatic over the next twenty years. This is a classic text that is well written, beautifully illustrated and extensively referenced, and it will undoubtedly become a compass for younger researchers responsible for the next generation of dental anthropological research.' Shintaro Kondo, Nihon University, Japan'Twenty years was well worth the wait. The authors' expertise complement each other perfectly while paying tribute to the late Christy Turner whose circum-Pacific research inspired so many to take up the buff yellow plaques. Revised and updated with new information on dental genetics and hominin dentition, The Anthropology of Modern Human Teeth provides a soup to nuts history of the field of dental morphology, while also providing clear guidance on future prospects. Its completeness provides the novice dental anthropologist with all that is needed to begin, and the expert a much needed survey and summary of the last six decades of work. From forensic applications, to multiscalar bioarchaeological research, to the intricacies of hominin crown and EDJ morphology, there is something here for everyone with even a passing interest in what teeth can tell us about the past and present.'

Book SynopsisA structured training programme is presented here, which is intended for any four-year postgraduate degree/ diploma in Orthodontics. A total of VIII modules have been developed, each of six months duration and the whole course is divided in these VIII modules. Its first four modules are structured in a way that they can be used for any two-years training programme. The programme has been devised in a structured format, whereby, the whole training is patient-centered and follows the actual treatment sequence. Module-I is about activation of prior knowledge of basic medical and dental sciences and attainment of basic clinical knowledge and skills to prepare the residents for empathetic patient care. Real patient encounter starts in Module-II and, from here onwards, all areas of respective modules are according to treatment requirements at different stages. Each module has six distinct areas, (ie: Learning Objectives, Topics to be Covered, Reading List, Table of Specifications, Assessment Methods and Check List). After successful adoption of this modular form of teaching, residents should attain the appropriate knowledge, proper attitudes and basic skills of orthodontics. This programme also enables the resident to develop a sense of professionalism, knowledge about medical ethics, scientific attitude, an inquisitive mind and a quest for research and Continuing Professional Development.

Book SynopsisSince ancient times, mankind has used plants as a valuable source of natural products for maintaining human health and to treat or prevent diseases. The common knowledge around plants' healing properties, known as folk medicine, has been transmitted over the centuries for generations throughout human communities. The use of natural products and herbal medicines have been documented in the past. The antibacterial activity of plant extracts has been reported since the late 1800s and some of these traditional medicines are still used, especially in the last decade, with more intensive studies for natural therapies. Active compounds produced during vegetal metabolism are responsible for the antimicrobial and biological properties interacting with specific chemical receptors in the human body and, due to these components, plants extracts are popular as anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial or anti-fungal drugs. However, in the absence of scientific studies, the use of aleatory plant extracts may lead to harmful adverse effects. Previously considered empirical, current data on the antimicrobial activity and biocompatibility of numerous plants have been scientifically confirmed. Phytosciences, as ethnopharmacology or phytotherapy, are emerging multidisciplinary areas with almost unlimited sources and several aspects to be discussed. Recently, there has been a growing trend to seek natural drugs as part of dental treatment. In dentistry, the association of plant extracts with restorative dentistry, endodontics or periodontics materials have been used to reduce inflammation, as antimicrobial enhancer agent, antiseptics, antifungals, antioxidants, analgesics or even as mouth rinse to prevent or reduce dental plaque. Thus, this book will address the use of plant extracts in different fields of dentistry, highlighting its use in cariology, restorative dentistry, endodontics and periodontics, besides other uses of herbal plants in dentistry, as in dental trauma, osteointegration or hemostatic, among others. As will be shown and stated, the vast variety of different plants described in literature with medicinal properties makes it impracticable to discuss all extracts found in scientific literature. Therefore, this book will contribute with some of these extracts and different methodologies to assess, as an introduction to new research and new researchers. Also, different in vivo and in vitro tests used to evaluate biological response, such as biocompatibility and antimicrobial activity in dental treatment will be discussed.Table of ContentsDedication; Preface; Empirical Use of Plant Extracts: Herbal Care in Medicine and Dentistry; Antimicrobial Properties of Plant Extracts; Biocompatibility of Plant Extracts; Phytotherapy in Cariology and Restorative Dentistry; Phytotherapy in Endodontics; Phytotherapy in Periodontics; Other Applications of Plant Extracts in Dentistry; Index.

Book SynopsisLesions affecting the oral cavity are unique and different from those affecting the other parts of our body. Clinical, radiological, histopathological and cytological diagnosis may be insufficient. Confirmation by immunohistochemistry, immunocytochemistry tissue arrays, etc needs to be done. In a bid to identify the various lesions, some authors have experimented with a large number of markers in their laboratories all throughout the world. But for a busy dental practitioner or a postgraduate student, it is a painstaking proposition to scan through each of the relevant articles. This handbook is a compilation of all the immunohistochemical markers that those authors have experimented on and are commonly used by postgraduate students as well as by dental and medical doctors of all specialties in the immunohistochemical laboratories to identify the divisive dental lesions. The information provided herein will help in immunohistochemical staining and enable to know the biomarkers to be used for the most common yet controversial lesions pertaining to the oral cavity. It will also facilitate a proper diagnosis of the specimens from the departments of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Oral Medicine, Diagnosis and Radiology and Periodontology.

Book SynopsisHigh rates of dental disease remain prevalent across the nation, especially in vulnerable and under-served populations. According to national surveys, 42 percent of adults with tooth or mouth problems did not see a dentist in 2008 because they did not have dental insurance or could not afford the out-of-pocket payments, and in 2011, 4 million children did not obtain needed dental care because their families could not afford it. In 2011, the Institute of Medicine reported that there is strong evidence that dental coverage is positively tied to access to and use of oral health care. For families without dental coverage, federally funded health centres may offer an affordable dental care option. Health centres are required to offer sliding fee schedules with discounts of up to 100 percent for many low-income patients. This book examines dental services in the United States with a focus on (1) trends in coverage for, and use of, dental services; (2) trends in payments by individuals and other payers for dental services; and (3) the extent to which dental fees vary between and within selected communities across the nation. To do this work, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) examined the office of Health and Human Services (HHS) national health survey data and national dental expenditure estimates, dental insurance claims data, and health centre dental fees in 18 selected communities (based on census region, population, and dental claims volume).

Book SynopsisImplant dentistry is a complex and rising field of dentistry and presents many intricate problems, which are being tackled by various disciplines of both basic and clinical research. There is a high amount of scientific information gathered so far; however data are rather divergent, sometimes even contradictory. Therefore, there is increasing need for integrating reviews of this highly important field of dentistry. This work presents an integration of several prosthetic-, surgical- and oral biological considerations of implant dentistry on a scientific level, with special respect to the problem of clinical decision-making. Further, this book also includes some chapters dedicated to rarely reviewed research areas like use of physiotherapy and psychosomatic considerations for implant dentistry, which also supply a great want. Relevant subject areas include: applied anatomy and bone biology for implant dentistry, mechanisms of osseointegration and peri-implant soft tissue healing, biomaterials for implant surgery, medical and dental evaluation of patient, diagnostic imaging for implant dentistry and other diagnostic tools, several prosthodontic and surgical considerations for treatment planning, implant surgery, management of pain, inflammation, peri-implantitis and other complication, immediate and delayed loading of implants, implant maintenance and after care, physiotherapy and psychosomatic considerations for implant dentistry as well as future perspectives of implant dentistry. The book gathers and presents data on the leading edge of implant dentistry. The principal audience of the present work is made up primarily of dental professionals having advanced knowledge related to implant dentistry (including university teachers and students of post graduated and/or Ph.D. courses of dental schools). However, general dental practitioners, interested dental graduate students and other professionals working in the orofacial region may also use the book serviceable.

Book SynopsisPhotonics is a light-based optical technology that is considered as the leading technology for the new millennium. The science of light generation, manipulation, transmission, and measurement is known as photonics. The application of photonics technologies and principles to medicine and life sciences is known as biophotonics. Laser (Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation) is one of the most important inventions of the twentieth century in biophotonic technology. In the field of oral medicine, lasers have a multitude of preventive, therapeutic and adjunctive applications. Applications in clinical scenarios like orofacial pain, temporomandibular joint disorders, potentially malignant disorders of oral mucosa, herpes, recurrent apthous ulcers, burning mouth syndrome, nerve repair, laser and antimicrobial photodynamic therapies in cancer patients, non-neoplastic proliferative lesions of oral soft tissue, and vascular lesions have shown promising results. Lasers also aid in optically enhanced diagnosis of oral lesions using florescence, coherence and spectroscopic techniques. This endeavour is a concise but comprehensive body of information, written in a simple tone, attempting to cruise the readers'' vision through every perspective, to seek objective information on all aspects of the instrument and its uses, fostering a preliminary step towards efficient laser diagnosis and therapy. The book facilitates exploration of physical concepts with lucidity without getting engrossed in excruciating jargon.
