He believes that there are no hopeless cases when it comes to dental reconstruction."This is all very nice" we hear you say. "But I am afraid of the dentist and that's why I don't go." In the book, Dr. Langston will gently encourage you to put aside your fears and make that dental appointment. Pain management has come a long way in the past several decades, and you don't have to be afraid anymore. Once you understand the importance of good oral care to your overall health and what your options are, Dr. Langston and dental professionals like him are waiting to put you at ease and take care of you. Armed with the information you've learned from this book, you can work closely with your dentist to create a care plan that will improve your life and both your oral and general health.
Clear Aligners
The trend in clinical field has shown a palpable shift from conventional braces to innovative technologies like clear aligners.Clear aligners use computerized 3D technology to visualize and move the teeth in a virtual model. This technology along with advances in 3D printing and manufacturing efficiencies allow aligners to be produced in a large number and in a timely fashion. Initial cases were mild crowding or spacing which progress to cases that need expansion and malocclusion correction. This clear aligner technique is continually evolving because of research and development in materials, and manufacturing techniques, auxiliaries and computer programming of tooth movement.Many different types of aligners are available today throughout the world and marketed to treat everything from mild to more complex malocclusions. Some of the aligners which are majority marketed are Invisalign, Clearpath, ClearCorrect, SureSmile, k-line, Simpli-5 etc.
Osseodensification
Dental implants have revolutionized the field of oral rehabilitation. Having a success rate of over 90% over 10 years, endosseous implants can now be successfully and predictably used to replace a missing teeth in the oral cavity. Osseodensification is an innovative biomechanical technique to prepare the site. It uses densifying Burs to produce low plastic deformation owing to its non-removal method of site preparation, which preserves the bone enhancing the host site. This book narrates about osseodensification protocol for implant site preparation.
Molar Incisor Hypomineralisation
Hypomineralised enamel defects like molar incisor hypomineralisation are one of the common clinical problems and should thus be regarded as a public health problem which brings painful consequences, poor aesthetics and a negative impact on the quality of life.

Endodontic Microsurgery
Endodontic microsurgery, is a specialized dental procedure that uses a microscope for precise treatment of persistent or recurrent root canal infections. It involves making a small incision near the tooth, removing infected or damaged tissue, and repairing or resecting the root tip as needed. The use of a microscope provides enhanced visualization and accuracy, resulting in faster healing times and improved outcomes. Endodontic microsurgery is recommended when conventional root canal treatment has failed or when other treatment options are not feasible. It offers numerous benefits and is a valuable option for resolving complex endodontic issues.
Photodynamic Therapy in Periodontics
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has emerged in recent years as a non - invasive therapeutic modality for the treatment of various infections by bacteria, fungi and viruses. This therapy is defined as "an oxygen-dependent photochemical reaction that occurs upon light - mediated activation of a photosensitizing compound leading to the generation of cytotoxic reactive oxygen species, predominantly singlet oxygen". Thus antimicrobial photodynamic therapy can be usedto eliminate periodontal pathogens selectively and thus periodontal disease can be treated successfully.
Maxillary Sinus Augmentation Techniques for Successful Dental Implant Placement
Maxillary sinus augmentation techniques are critical for successful dental implant placement in the posterior maxilla. The key to achieving long-term stability of the implant-supported restoration is to select the appropriate technique based on the patient's clinical situation and the clinician's skill level. Maxillary sinus augmentation procedures are indicated for patients with limited vertical bone height, severe bone resorption, and compromised sinus membranes. Preoperative evaluation and planning are essential in selecting appropriate techniques and achieving successful outcomes. CBCT imaging plays a crucial role in assessing bone density, volume, and implant position. Various techniques, including lateral window, crestal, and balloon sinus augmentation, are available to clinicians, each with its advantages and disadvantages. The selection of appropriate bone grafting materials, including autogenous, allograft, and xenograft, is also a critical consideration. Managing complications during and after the procedure is essential for achieving successful outcomes, and postoperative care and follow-up are critical for ensuring long-term stability of the implant-supported.
Clinical and Biochemical Assessment of Ozonated Olive Oil Mixed Bone
The use of ozonated olive oil mixed with bone substitute to help in regeneration of intrabony peridontal defect. Within the limitations of the present study we can conclude that: The use of ozonized oil mixed bone graft showed little non-significant improvement in intrabony defect fill compared to the control graft defect fill. The use of ozonized olive oil in intra-bony defects increase GCF level and availability of bone morphogenic protein 2 significantly compared to the control non ozonized group. The use of ozonated olive oil once during mixing it with bone has no significant difference than subsequent use each week.
Guided Endodontics
In dentistry, innovation occurs when there is a willingness to investigate and improve both diagnosis and treatment. The concept of Guided endodontics was introduced with the improvements in tomographic imaging and 3D printing technologies. Guided Endodontics applications encompass not only endodontic cavity access and canal location with PO but can also be applied in cases of osteotomy and apicoectomy as well as retrograde fillings, the removal of fiberglass posts, and treating teeth with morphological asymmetries. It is mainly of two types Static and Dynamic. The advantages of SGE are as follows: it is independent of the operator's experience, requires less treatment time for the patient, and is more accurate and safer than conventional endodontics. The benefits of DGE are as follows: it is more ergonomic (in terms of having to look at the monitor during treatment), it allows for the real-time adjustment and repositioning of the working instruments, it is more accurate as it does not accumulate design errors, and it is useful in cases of multi-rooted teeth.
The Role of Pediatric Dentistry in a Child’s Developement
Children represent the future and ensuring their physical, social, emotional, language and cognitive development should be the priority. A child's oral health can highly affect their overall health because the mouth is the gateway to a person's overall health. The attitude towards dental care begins taking shape in early childhood, and a pediatric dentist can help ensure those attitudes are pleasant ones. Also, the discolored, damaged or missing teeth may hurt children's self-esteem and social development making them afraid to smile or subjecting them to teasing. Oral health is related to health-related quality of life and a pediatric dentist plays an important role in overall development of a child.
Piezo Surgery
Traditional instruments along with rotary instruments involved in dental therapeutics, have disadvantages of heat generation while cutting bone, and thereby require a high amount of external copious irrigation. Such instruments exert considerable pressure in osseous dentistry. To overcome such limitations, a novel surgical technique known as Piezo surgery was introduced based on ultrasonic micro vibration for a precise and selective cut on bone, without injuring surrounding tissues. In this era of minimally invasive therapy, a piezoelectric device is an innovative tool developed as an alternative to the mechanical and electric instruments that are used in conventional oral surgical procedures.
Space Management in Pediatric Dentistry
Guidance of eruption and development of the primary and permanent dentitions is an integral part of the pediatric dentistry. American Association of Orthodontics defined it as that phase of science and art of orthodontics employed to recognize and eliminate the potential irregularities and malposition's in the developing dentofacial complex. It is undertaken at a time when malocclusion is developing and space management forms an integral part of it.

First in the Nation
Since its early teaching activity in 1936, the North Carolina Dental Public Health program has had an outstanding 80-year history that is summarized into five themes. It has served as a key resource for training the dentists in public health, which has benefited the state of North Carolina. It has provided the science base for improving oral health with new prevention technologies. The program has advanced public health practice and collaborations with state and federal agencies, and it has maintained a robust research program that developed methods for solving population-based problems. Finally, it has offered a comprehensive teaching program that supported the knowledge base for the MPH program and research methods for PhD students in epidemiology and health services research.The UNC research focus on early childhood caries reversed the increase observed in statewide surveys, and its prevention methods have been adopted nationally. Rozier also documents the first courses in dental public health which provided definitions and direction for the specialty.Oral diseases are largely preventable, but they affect more than three billion people worldwide. First in the Nation is elegantly convincing in its message--that a major health sciences campus without a comprehensive Dental Public Health academic program is intellectually devoid of part of its purpose for being.
Dental Caries - The Selection of Restoration Methods and Restorative Materials
Dental caries affects people throughout their lifetime, being a major factor in oral pain, aesthetic impairment, and edentulism. Untreated dental caries can affect adjoining oral tissues and lead to systemic complications. Prevention represents a key factor in managing this condition and includes public health measures, addressing risk factors as well as access to oral health services. A regular dental examination is crucial for detecting early signs of caries and determining optimal treatment. The proper selection of restoration methods and restorative materials may represent the difference between success and failure in dental caries management. This book includes seven chapters that focus on various important aspects of dental caries, including etiology, diagnosis, prevention, treatment, and management.
An Insight into Orthodontic Treatment for Adults
Adult orthodontics refers to the use of orthodontic treatments, such as braces or clear aligners, to correct misaligned teeth and jaws in adults. Orthodontic treatment in adulthood has become increasingly common in recent years as more adults seek to improve their smile, dental health, and overall well-being.Adult orthodontic treatment typically involves a comprehensive evaluation by an orthodontist, who will determine the best course of treatment based on the individual's specific needs and goals. Treatment options may include traditional braces, clear aligners, lingual braces (braces attached to the back of the teeth), or other specialized orthodontic appliances.One of the main benefits of adult orthodontic treatment is improved dental health, as straighter teeth are easier to clean and less prone to decay and gum disease. In addition, adult orthodontics can improve the appearance of the smile, boost self-confidence, and even alleviate jaw pain or other orthodontic-related discomfort.While adult orthodontic treatment may take longer than treatment in children or teens, advances in orthodontic technology and techniques have made treatment more comfortable, discreet, and effective.

Oral Granulomatous Disorders
Orofacial granulomatosis is an uncommon disorder, but has been increasingly recognized in the past decade. It causes significant morbidity in the patient including oral ulcerations, enlargement of soft tissues which are often persistent and painful. Orofacial granulomatosis is a term generally used to describe lip swelling secondary to an underlying granulomatous inflammatory process.Granulomas are seen in a wide variety of diseases, both infectious and non-infectious. Infections that are characterized by granulomas include tuberculosis, leprosy, histoplasmosis, cryptococcosis, coccidioidomycosis, blastomycosis and cat scratch disease. Granulomatous cheilitis is the histopathological description of such inflammation occurring in the lips and surrounding tissues. Oral Crohn's disease also belongs to the entity of orofacial granulomatosis. Granulomatous diseases cause a great range of symptoms not only in the head and neck but alsothroughout the body. We as oral physicians should be able to diagnose all the granulomatous disease properly for a good treatment and prognosis.

Ozone in Dentistry
Contrary to traditional medicine modalities such as disinfectants and antibiotics, Ozone is quite economical which will make a marked reduction in medical cost and invalidity. Dentistry is presently improving with the induction of modern science into practice. Ozone therapy has been more beneficial than present conventional therapeutic modalities which follow a minimally invasive and conservative application to dental treatment. The exposition of molecular mechanisms of ozone further benefits practical function in dentistry. Treating patients with ozone therapy lessens the treatment time with an immense deal of variation and it eradicates the bacterial count more specifically. The treatment is painless and increases the patients' tolerability and fulfillment with minimal adverse effects. Contraindication of this controversial method should never be forgotten.
Neoliberalism & Indigenous Oral Health Inequalities
Neoliberalism is the dominant ideology underpinning the operation of many governments. Its tenets include policies of economic liberalization such as privatization, deregulation, free trade and reduced public expenditures on infrastructure and social services. Indigenous populations experience inequalities in ways that are unique and distinct from the experiences of other marginalized groups. This is largely due to colonial influences that have resulted in sustained loss of lands, identity, languages and the control to live life in a traditional, cultural way that is meaningful. Oral health is simultaneously a reflection of material circumstances, structural inequities and access to health services. Indigenous populations carry a disproportionate burden of oral health inequalities at a global level. This book narrates about neoliberal influences on indigenous oral health inequality.
Artificial Intelligence in Pediatric Dentistry
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly revolutionising various industries by teaching computers and robots how to see the world, make sense of it, and eventually perform complex tasks both in the physical realm and the virtual one.

Minimally Invasive Surgical Techniques
The ultimate goal of any treatment modality is resolution of the disease with regeneration of the lost tissues, if possible producing minimum post-operative morbidity. Minimally invasive surgery is one such treatment modality that is giving promising results in terms of reduced surgical trauma, increased wound stability, excellent primary closure of the wound with minimal patient's discomfort and side effects. Minimally invasive surgery has to be considered a true reality in periodontal regenerative surgery. Several clinical trials have shown its efficacy and predictability in the treatment of intrabony defects. The clinical efficacy is consistently associated with a very low morbidity both during surgery and in the post-operative healing period. The minimally invasive surgical techniques require a specific training and the use of dedicated instruments and materials to be successfully applied to the treatment of intrabony defects.
Temporary Anchorage Device in Orthodontics
Conservation of anchorage has been a perennial problem to the traditional orthodontists. Conventional means of supporting anchorage have been using either intra-oral sites or relying on extraoral means. Both have their benefits and limitations. The extraoral forces require on the patient's compliance also chances of facial injury are increased with headgear and facemask therapy. An intraoral anchorage device like temporary anchorage device is beneficial and popularly being used these days by the practitioners as a means of anchorage control. In this book we have discussed in detail about the ABC of temporary anchorage device.
Oral Manifestations of Dermatological Disorders
The oral health is considered as the mirror of the general body health. There are various dermatological disorder's which have oral manifestations and various disorders specially the vesicobullous disorders and infectious diseases, they have peculiar oral symptoms and also many cases where oral sign and symptom is the first manifestation of the disease. In this book, the author have categorised various disorders and discussed the oral and dermatological manifestations of the same. The clinicians both the general and the oral physician should be well versed with the knowledge of these disorders and establishing the link between oral and dermatological manifestations for an accurate diagnosis and management for the same. The book highlights the various group of disorders, their clinical manifestation to management and also including newer treatment modalities for the same.
Maxillary Sinus Lift Procedures
Placement of dental implants in the atrophic posterior maxilla is an exigent procedure in the presence of lower maxillary bone height. Numerous clinical procedures and materials have emerged to solve the problem of lower bone volume. The most commonly used surgical intervention for obtaining appropriate bone height prior to the placement of endosseous implants in the posterior maxilla is grafting to the floor of the maxillary sinus. With years of research already being done in lieu of perfecting this technique, it is safe to say that this has become a very predictable procedure. It is of utmost importance that the preoperative evaluations are done perfectly and the most suitable technique is decided accordingly for that particular situation, to improve the prognosis of the treatment. Among various techniques that are used, we concluded that nasal suction technique, balloon antral elevation technique, and Hydraulic Sinus Lift technique prove to be possibly more effective and efficient as they have less perforation rate, less chair-side time, less technique sensitivity, and eliminate the need for extensive instrumentation as compared to the conventional time-consuming techniques.
Osseointegration of Dental Implants
Osseointegration is defined as a direct structural and functional connection between ordered, living bone and the surface of a load-carrying implant, is critical for implant stability, and is considered a prerequisite for implant loading and long-term clinical success of end osseous dental implants. The implant-tissue interface in Implant is an extremely dynamic region of interaction. This processes of osseointegration basically involve an initial interlocking between alveolar bone and the implant body. Later, it lead to biological fixation through continuous bone apposition and remodeling toward the implant. The process is quite complex and there are several factors that influence the formation and maintenance of bone at the implant-tissue surface. The aim of the present review is the analysis of the clinical outcome and factors that determine the success & failure of osseointegrated dental implants.
