Advanced Dental Biomaterials
A substance that is created to interact with biological systems for a medical purpose is known as biomaterials. It can be used for therapeutic or a diagnostic medical purpose. Biomaterials are derived from nature and are even synthesized in the laboratory with the help of various chemical methods such as utilizing metallic components, ceramics, composite material and polymers. Since biomaterials are used for medical applications, they comprise a whole or a part of a living structure which performs, augments and replaces a natural function. Dental biomaterials are specially invented materials, invented for the use in dentistry. They are majorly used in dental implants. There are many different types of dental materials, such as temporary dressings, dental restorations, endodontic materials, impression materials, prosthetic materials, etc. The characteristics of these materials differ according to their planned purposes. This book covers in detail some existent theories and innovative concepts revolving around dental biomaterials. It presents researches and studies performed by experts across the globe. This book will prove to be immensely beneficial to students and researchers in this field.
Orthodontic Diagnosis and Treatment of Malocclusion
Malocclusion is a condition that results in a misalignment between the teeth and the two dental arches when they approach each other when the jaw closes. Malocclusion can be divided into three types - class 1 is netrocclussion, class 2 is distocclussion and class 3 is mesiocclusion. Class 1 netrocclussion is a condition where the molar relationship of the occlusion is normal but the other teeth have problems like spacing, crowding and under eruption. Class 2 distocclussion is a condition where the mesiobuccal cusp of the upper first molar is anterior with the mesiobuccal groove of the lower first molar. Class 3 mesiocclusion is a condition where the upper molars are placed posteriorly to it and not in the mesiobuccal groove. Some common causes of malocclusion are extra teeth, impacted teeth, lost teeth and abnormally shaped teeth. It can be treated with the help of orthodontics which includes tooth extraction, dental braces and clear aligners. This book provides comprehensive insights into the field of malocclusion. It presents researches and studies performed by experts across the globe. This book is a resource guide for experts as well as students.
Orthodontics: An Evidence-Based Approach
Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry that focuses on the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of jaws and teeth that are malpositioned. Diagnosis and treatment in orthodontics include reorganization of the problem, defining the nature of the problem, designing a treatment based on the needs of the patient and present the treatment strategy to the patient. Diagnosis also includes an in-depth orthodontic assessment of the patient. Orthodontic treatment aims to promote good function and to produce stable results. The majority of orthodontic appliance therapy is done using fixed appliances and removable appliances. Active and functional appliances are the two main types of orthodontic appliances that are commonly used. The objective of this book is to give a general view of the different areas of orthodontics, and its applications. This book covers in detail some existent theories and innovative concepts revolving around this domain. This book is a vital tool for all researching and studying this field.
Clinical Advances in Implant Dentistry
Dentistry is a discipline of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of diseases and disorders of the oral cavity, oral mucosa, and related structures and tissues. Implant dentistry is the branch of dentistry that includes a surgical component that interfaces with the bone of the jaw to support a dental prosthesis such as a crown, bridge, denture and facial prosthesis. The primary use of implant dentistry is to support a dental prosthesis. Osseointegration is the biological process behind modern dental implants. In osseointegration, materials like titanium form an intimate bond to the bone. Risks and complications related to implant therapy are excessive bleeding, infection, failure to osseointegrate, peri-implantitis, etc. The health of the person receiving the treatment, health of the tissues in the mouth and the drugs which affect the chances of osseointegration, are some factors on which the success or the failure of the dental implant depends. This book contains some path-breaking studies in the field of implant dentistry. It strives to provide a fair idea about this discipline and to help develop a better understanding of the latest advances within this field. This book is a resource guide for experts as well as students.
Clinical Cases in Implant Dentistry
A surgical process that supports a dental prosthesis such as bridge, crown and denture, by interfacing with the bone of jaw and skull is known as implant dentistry. The most common procedure in implant dentistry is osseointegration. In this process, the materials such as titanium are used to make an intimate bond to the bone. The complications related to the dental implants occur during the process of surgery such as bleeding and nerve injury. Complications such as infection and failure to osseointegrate, can also occur after the surgery. For the success of osseointegration, sufficient amount of healing time is necessary before the dental prosthetic is attached to the implant. This book outlines the processes and applications of modern implant dentistry in detail. It is a valuable compilation of topics, ranging from the basic to the most complex advancements in this field. With state-of-the-art inputs by acclaimed experts of this field, this book targets students and professionals.
