Book SynopsisThe common idea that edentulism can always be solved with implants is questioned in this book given that the most recent literature highlights the higher risk of implant prosthodontics than traditional conventional toothborne prosthodontics. This book represents a procedural guide to the fabrication of full veneer crowns with vertical margin design. The preparation of the natural tooth as a prosthetic pillar is certainly a traditional procedure that is still one of the most common activities that dentists perform today and the so-called vertical preparation is given full credit in this book.

Book SynopsisThe extraction of impacted dental elements is often referred to maxillofacial surgeons. However, it can be handled as routinely as any other type of extraction. Piezoelectric surgery of impacted teeth, which involves reproducible procedures using a step-by-step approach in all types of cases, also allows dentists who approach the extraction of impacted elements less frequently to carefully prepare for the procedure and perform it, thereby minimizing possible postsurgical issues for the patient, such as biological risks. Using the most innovative techniques, including the application of ultrasound in oral surgery and piezoelectric surgery, the author provides an indispensable tool to train and update dentists who intend to perform all types of extractions.

Book SynopsisThe text is a collection of cases of implants in the anterior sector, the aesthetic one, in which every aspect of treatment is considered with a global approach. This means that the stages involving oral surgery, periodontology, implantology, orthodontics, prosthesis and prosthetic dentistry are described in the clinical case report. The workflow for each case is illustrated very clearly using predictable algorithms. At the beginning of each description of the clinical case, the relevant procedures used for that specific case are highlighted, so that the reader knows in advance the topics covered in that particular case: Correct 3D implant placement; Prosthetically guided bone regeneration; Preservation of socket / ridge; GBR horizontal and vertical; Connective tissue graft; Standard, delayed and immediate loading; Custom prosthetic emergence profile; Cemented retention; Screwedretained crowns; Adhesive prosthesis. Each procedure described in this book is closely related to an updated

Book SynopsisEmphasizes topics of real clinical relevance in reptile and amphibian medicine. With details on therapeutic regimens, this title features coverage of infectious diseases, anesthesia, surgery, and advances in biology and conservation.Trade Review"This is an excellent book and deserves a place on the bookshelf of any specialist interested in herptile medicine. But is it worth the price tag for the generalist? There are other good books out there, such as the two editions of Mader's previous reptile medicine and surgery book, and, possibly, the British Small Animal Veterinary Association's Manual of Reptiles, to name a few; however, none of these are as up to date on the specific topics covered, are as lavishly produced, nor do they have as comprehensive reviews on anaesthesia and analgesic protocols for herptiles. This is a great book for anyone interested in herptile medicine and surgery, worth every penny and I am sure will go on to become a regular series." Reviewed by: Jonathan Cracknell.

Book SynopsisProvides a guide for busy practitioners trying to keep pace with trends in small animal orthopaedic surgery. This title offers a comprehensive review of orthopaedic and spinal conditions in the dog and cat. It is intended for veterinary practitioners diagnosing and treating orthopaedic and spinal problems.Trade Review"Although there are a fair number of orthopaedic textbooks in the marketplace, I would recommend this one for its practical approach, readability and thoroughness. Being a hardback, its cost is slightly higher than its predecessor's, but it has undergone considerable expansion and, at #55, still represents very good value for money. Even the most experienced surgeon will be able to glean useful practical advice from this book."—The Veterinary RecordTable of ContentsPreface V SECTION 1 GENERAL 1 1 Fracture healing 3 2 Bone grafts 18 3 Healing of soft tissue injuries 24 4 Osteochondrosis 31 5 Intervertebral disc disease and spinal cord injury 35 SECTION 2 JOINT DISEASE 39 6 Classification and investigation of joint disease 41 7 Osteoarthritis 52 8 Immune-mediated polyarthritides 64 9 Infective (septic) arthritis 73 10 Joint-related neoplasia 77 SECTION 3 FRACTURE MANAGEMENT 81 11 Classification of fractures 83 12 Options in fracture management 87 13 Fracture complications 132 14 Open fractures 152 15 Treating fractures in immature patients 155 SECTION 4 THE SKULL AND SPINE 161 16 The skull 163 17 Neurological examination 175 18 Differential diagnosis 184 19 Further investigation of spinal diseases 186 20 Peripheral nerve injury 201 21 Spinal fractures and luxations 206 22 Atlantoaxial subluxation 217 23 Cervical disc disease 223 24 Cervical spondylopathy 231 25 Thoracolumbar disc disease 246 26 Lumbosacral disease 263 27 Discospondylitis 278 28 Neoplasia of the vertebral column 283 29 Miscellaneous conditions of the spine 286 SECTION 5 THE FORELIMB 299 30 Examination and differential diagnosis of forelimb lameness 301 31 The shoulder 303 32 The humerus 341 33 The elbow 363 34 The radius and ulna 389 35 The carpus 409 36 The manus 425 37 Forelimb amputation 433 SECTION 6 THE HINDLIMB 437 38 Examination and differential diagnosis of hindlimb lameness 439 39 The pelvis 441 40 The hip 455 41 The femur 495 42 The stifle 512 43 The tibia and fibula 554 44 The tarsus 575 45 The pes 598 46 Hindlimb amputation 599 SECTION 7 MISCELLANEOUS ORTHOPAEDIC CONDITIONS 601 47 Nutritional bone disease 603 48 Non-nutritional bone disease 607 49 Myopathies 613 50 Peripheral neuropathies 616 51 Bone neoplasia 618 Index 627

Book SynopsisThis practical and comprehensive guide to rigid endoscopy and endosurgery in small animal practice is fully illustrated throughout, covering the clinical treatment of small animals from pre-operative through to post-operative care.Trade Review“This is a text which should form part of the library of any specialist in minimally invasive veterinary procedures, as much for its quality and the range of its studies as for its up to date information.” (Clínica Veterinaria Casa de Campo, 1 April 2013) “I think this book is worth the money to help you get started, and I believe will help the more experienced surgeons in their steep learning curve with endosurgical procedures.” (Veterinary Practice News, 1 April 2012) “This is a nice handbook on the rapidly expanding field of minimally invasive surgery and will serve as a helpful reference for practitioners interested in this field.” (Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 15 March 2013) “Experts discuss the surgeries, counter indications and complications, and treatment options in a powerful survey highly recommended for any veterinary clinician's reference library.” (Midwest Book Review, 1 March 2013) “Clinical Manual of Small Animal Endosurgery provides a practical, comprehensive guide to rigid endoscopy and endosurgery in small animal practices, is packed with illustrations, and covers pre-operative through post-operative care.” (Bookwatch, 1 January 2013) “The illustrations particularly will make this a must-have text for endoscopists of the future, which should include both practitioners and specialists. It is certainly a welcome addition to my bookshelf.” (Veterinary Record, 8 December 2012) “This is a good manual for those wishing to learn more about veterinary endosurgery as a whole.

It is mainly aimed at guiding those less experienced with dealing with chelonian patients, but will also act as a useful quick reference for those more familiar with treating these shelled patients.” (Veterinary Record, 15 March 2014) “Finally, special mention goes to the brief but clearly illustrated and valuable guide to gender determination, helping to separate Fred from Frederica in the consult room, and making this a handy patient-side reference.” (BVZS Bulletin, 1 September 2013)Table of ContentsPreface vi Part I Introduction 1 1 Biology 3 1.1 Species and Family Overview 3 1.2 Natural History 9 1.3 Sex Determination and Incubation of Eggs 20 1.4 Physiology/Anatomy 27 1.5 Chelonian Behaviour 34 2 Husbandry 41 2.1 The Husbandry Review 41 2.2 Hibernation 50 3 Practice Needs 54 3.1 Equipment 54 3.2 Economics 56 3.3 Hospitalisation 59 3.4 Instructions for Receptionists 62 4 Examination 63 4.1 Transport Guidelines 63 4.2 History and Examination Techniques 64 4.3 Handling 76 4.4 Zoonoses 78 5 Basic Techniques 80 5.1 Venipuncture and Sample Handling 80 5.2 Toenail Trimming 87 5.3 Beak Trim 90 5.4 Stomach Tubing 93 5.5 Injection Techniques and Therapeutics 97 5.6 Fluid Therapy 102 5.7 Cytological Sampling and Biopsy 105 5.8 Microchipping 108 5.9 Euthanasia 112 6 General Anaesthesia 114 7 Imaging 120 7.1 Radiography 120 7.2 Ultrasound 127 7.3 Endoscopy and Biopsy 130 7.4 Advanced Imaging Techniques 137 8 Surgery 139 8.1 Surgery Needs and Equipment 139 8.2 Haemostasis 142 8.3 Surgical Techniques 143 9 Clinical Pathology 150 9.1 Haematology and Serum Biochemistry 150 9.2 Parasitology 163 9.3 Microbiology 166 9.4 Post-mortem Examination Techniques 174 Part II Presentations 179 10 Anorexia 181 11 Diarrhoea 185 12 Dyspnoea 187 12.1 Respiratory Disease 187 12.2 Coelomic Cavity Distension 191 13 Otitis Media/Aural Abscess 192 14 Egg Retention/Dystocia 195 15 Fallen in Pond 198 16 Follicular Stasis 200 17 Orthopaedics 205 18 Fractures of the Shell 216 19 Hepatic Lipidosis 222 20 Lameness 225 21 Lethargy 229 22 Soft Tissue Masses 231 23 Nasal Discharge 235 24 Ocular and Conjunctival/Palpebral Swelling 239 25 Ocular Opacities and Blindness 242 26 Generalised Oedema or Anasarca 248 27 Inflammation of the Oral (Stomatitis) and Pharyngeal Areas 251 28 External Parasites 254 29 Internal Parasites 256 30 Peeling Skin or Shell 265 31 Prolapse 270 32 Shell Disease 275 33 Skin Ulceration 280 34 Soft Tissue Trauma 285 35 Swimming Problems 289 36 Swollen Limbs 292 37 Uroliths 299 38 Vomiting and Regurgitation 302 39 Metabolic Bone Diseases 305 40 Shell Deformities 309 Appendix 1 Formulary 313 Appendix 2 Haematological Normals 318 Appendix 3 Toxicoses 320 Index 327
