Dr. P.R.Begg
Dr. Percy Raymond Begg was a brilliant orthodontist who discovered a unique method of moving teeth. If one were to list the persons who made great contributions to world of clinical orthodontics, Dr. Begg's name is sure to find a place amongst the top few. He not only created a distinct form of mechanotherapy, but also influenced the theory and practice of other modes of fixed appliance treatment. He provided many thousands of children and adults with amazing corrections of their dental and facial deformities and these benefits continue to be experienced by patients all over the world because of his willingness to share his knowledge.
Occupational Hazards in dentistry
Working towards the motto of providing quality dental treatment to patients, the dentist compromises on his /her health. Various factors in the dental clinic /dental practice poses health risks to the professionals. From material to working position, patient saliva to blood exposure, limited artificial light to the anaesthetic agents...all pose a risk to dentist's health. The dentist is the victim of modern day emphasis on reduced and simplified motion, the value for this for dentist's health is questionable. Often dentists adopt bizarre positions while treating patients and even though such technique cause minimal patient discomfort, they in turn are rewarded with muscle fatigue, lower backache, shoulder problem etc. Dental professionals are exposed to various occupational hazards ranging from physical, chemical, infectious, mechanical and social hazards. Thus, Occupational hazard can be defined as a risk to a person usually arising out of employment. It can also refer to a work, material, substance, process, or situation that predisposes, or itself causes accidents, or diseases, at a work place.
Periodontal symbiosis and dysbiosis - An Overview
The oral fissure is immensely inhabited with a number of polymicrobial colonies similar to the intestinal system. Periodontitis is a dysbiotic disease resulting from deviation in subgingival Gram-positive bacteria to Gram-negative bacteria shift from Gram-positive bacteria. The development of periodontal dysbiosis occurs over a broadened timeframe, which slowly turns the symbiotic association of host and microbe to pathogenic. This book highlights a recent paradigm of periodontitis progression has been postulated which challenges the traditional concept of periodontitis being induced by few particular periopathogens such as belonging to red complex, but by a more comprehensive dysbiotic-synergistic community.

3D printing in dentistry
RAPID PROTOTYPING techniques have been substantially employed in dentistry, but applications of RP in prosthodontics are relatively rare. Dental prostheses can be fabricated layer by layer directly from a computer model easily and rapidly by various RP techniques without part-specific tooling and human intervention. This technique is a revolutionary change for dental prosthesis fabrication. With the development and research of the diversity for RP systems and correspondingly built materials, it is possible to generate different kinds of dental prostheses for different applications. These applications include dental prosthesis wax pattern, dental (facial) prosthesis mold (shell), dental metal prosthesis, and zirconia prostheses. We believe that RP techniques are playing a more important role in prosthodontics and will become one of the mainstream technologies for digital fabrication of dental prostheses.
Digital Dental Photography
Dental clinical photography is the most precise visual communication between doctor and patient, between doctor and a dental technician or interdisciplinary, where clinical manifestations are the main subject. Dental photography is an invaluable tool in documenting the case, establishing the diagnosis, and planning the treatment, even in the absence of the patient. With the help of dental photographs, we allow the patient to see what we see in his oral cavity. We also provide the dental technician with the aesthetic perception of color, morphological and chromatic characteristics of complex dental structures such as texture, shade, saturation, tooth brightness, and other optical properties of dental surfaces. With the help of dental photos, we create new smiles by applying the Digital Smile Design (DSD) Concept, allowing the patient to participate step by step in creating their smile. This concept consists of a virtual process of designing and previewing the final result, computer-assisted, based on the individual needs of the patient and the principles of harmony and dentofacial aesthetics while paying particular attention to the functional aspects of the dentomaxillary system. Today, dental photography has become an independent medical discipline in many countries, where candidates are well informed and prepared to take the best quality images. A modest attempt to combine the profession of doctor and photographer's passion resulted in this work, aiming to accumulate as much helpful information about dental clinical photography in a single material. This work was written by a doctor for doctors, out of the desire to come to their aid, to give them a boost to a fascinating world of technique and art, as the approach of this kind of photography introduces us implicitly in an artistic creation area, where we will communicate to those to whom we address our thoughts, feelings, and moods, and reaching this area will give us many soul satisfactions.

The Scalable Practice
What if hiring one specialized person could double the growth of your practice?The average orthodontic practice produces$1.2 million per year. Only a select few ever break the $3 million mark. However, some doctors continue to grow their practice, year after year, even doing six figures in production. The secret to a scalable practice is operations, and the missing role is the Chief Operations Office (COO). Orthodontists maximize their revenue-generating potential when they are seeing patients, producing as much as $10,000 per hour. Sadly, most doctors waste their time managing their practice and doing it badly. The result is a hamster wheel of staff turnover, cash flow issues, office culture problems, and frustration. If you want to increase your impact in the community and create more time for things you enjoy, this book will provide the operating system you need. You'll learn how to get out of your own way, hand the wheel to a COO, and get your vision and core values installed in your culture and team. By applying the principles of this book, you can shift your practice from boutiques to scalable, enjoying a happier team, better patient experience, and rapid growth profits

Occlusal Adjustment Technique Made Simple
The goal of this manual is to share information that can be of value to the practicing dentist, especially the periodontist. Most of the concepts presented in this manual were taught to me when I was a student of Dr. Henry M. Goldman, Dr. D Walter Cohen, Dr. Morton Amsterdam, and Dr. Leonard Abrams of the universities of Pennsylvania and Boston graduate dental schools; visionaries of their times. I learned these concepts in 1961 to 1963 and have practiced them for the fifty-six years I was a practicing periodontist. Today's direction in periodontal field is toward soft tissue grafting and implants. The art of saving teeth seems to be minimized, so I would like to revitalize an alternate treatment course using occlusal control to help retain teeth.
Extracellular Matrix Biomineralization of Dental Tissue Structures

Niti Wires in Orthodontics
Titanium has been used as a structural metal ever since 1952 and its possible use in Orthodontics has been suggested periodically. Arch wire materials with a component of titanium became available to Orthodontics in the 1970's. Nitinol, a Stochiometric nickel titanium alloy was first introduced for use in orthodontics in 1971, and is available as NiTi, Nitinol, Orthonol, Sentinol and Titanol. Since their introduction, they became an integral part of orthodontic mechanotherapy due to their unique characteristics of low stiffness, super elasticity and high reversibility. They have substituted twisted steel wires for leveling because of its high resilience. The high spring back of Nitinol is useful in circumstances that require large deflections but low forces. This result in increased clinical efficiency of Nitinol and fewer archwire changes or activations are required in routine orthodontic mechanics.

Pathology of Dental Infections
These transcriptions of dental meetings and seminars of the early 20th century shed light on the history and development of dentistry.The dentists of the time hadn't standardized their prescribing practices, with private practices around the USA and Canada often giving their patients different medicines for pain, inflammation and infections. Some dentists at the turn of the 20th century lacked detailed knowledge of what they had prescribed, having simply been recommended by other dentists, or been advertised to by a drug company. The Canadian Oral Prophylactic Association was conceived as a way to inform and improve the situation; within months of founding, they had created their own toothpaste and were publishing guidelines.These lectures sought to educate and inform dentists about the latest advances in the field. The abysmal death rates involved in dental infections remained an enormous problem; public education in dental care, oral hygiene and better treatments were still areas in dire need of improvement when these lectures were published in 1916. However, the recent technological advances in X-rays were encouraging; with the use of radiology, diagnosis of cavities and tooth decay became easier. The case studies related provide valuable historic context on dentistry at the time.

Ozone in Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics
Document from the year 2021 in the subject Medicine - Dentistry, course: MASTER OF DENTAL SURGERY, language: English, abstract: Recent years have been noticeable by increasing number of people prone to allergic diseases and weakened response to antibiotics. These conditions and regarding the constantly growing prices for medicinal preparations the appearance of new non-medication methods can be only welcomed and valued. New methods ozone therapy has been gaining a justified recognition in many countries of the world thanks to ozone disinfected effect and its capacity to transport and release oxygen into tissues. Ozone is the combination of three naturally occurring oxygen atoms. Ozone therapy is an alternative to outdated approaches in dentistry. The main feature suggests that ozone can be used in dentistry as a durable anti-microbial agent. Ozone has antimicrobial biosynthesis-enhancing effects. Ozone moves cellular and humoral immunity. Ozone use in dentistry can be made possible via ozone gas, ozonated water, sunflower oil, or ozonized olive. Ozone is used in periodontology, oral pathologies, endodontics, oral surgery, prosthodontics, orthodontics, and restorative dentistry. As a result of these studies performed, ozone therapy in dentistry should be considered as an assistance to conventional treatments.

Oral Biofilms and Modern Dental Materials
This book provides an up-to-date perspective on oral biofilms and dental materials, equipping readers with a sound understanding of their mutual interactions. Experts from across the world comprehensively describe the main strategies that can be followed when designing modern bioactive and biomimetic dental materials, bearing in mind the goal of reducing the occurrence of pathological conditions such as secondary caries and peri-implantitis. The background to the book is the rapid expansion in the use of nanotechnologies and modern techniques to achieve levels of performance of dental materials that were unthinkable even a few years ago. Whereas conventionally dental materials have been regarded as inert, an important paradigm shift is underway: now, these materials are being conceived as bioactive and biomimetic.
