Health Literacy
Literacy forms an important input in overall development of individual enabling them to comprehend their social, political and cultural environment better and respond to it apt. From an individual perspective, one needs adequate literacy skills to participate and function happily within - and contribute to- one's communities. From a collective perspective, a literate community is a dynamic community. Literacy and level of education are basic indicators of the level of development achieved by a society. Spread of Literacy is generally associated with important traits of modern civilization such as modernization, urbanization, industrialization, communication and commerce. The sharing of ideas, perspectives and concerns also leads to greater levels of mutual understandings and caring and ultimately strong community spirit.Choosing a healthy lifestyle, knowing how to seek medical care, and taking advantage of preventive measures require that people understand and use health information. The ability to obtain process and understand health information needed to make informed health decisions is known as health literacy.
Electronic Apex Locator
For a successful root canal therapy, determining the length of root canals and limiting the obturation material till that length plays a very vital role. Amidst the existing limitations of the traditional methods to precisely determine the working length, the emergence of Electronic Apex Locators has made it hassle free and given more accuracy to define the apical limit for a clinicianThe apex of the root has specific resistance to electrical current and this is measured using a pair of electrodes typically hooked into the lip and attached to an endodontic file by the apex locatorVarious generations of apex locators have evolved based on changing principles of digitally measuring the flow of electric current across the circuit and various devices signaling this event by a beep, flashing light, digital readout or a buzz.
Molar Distalization
Molar distalization is a process in the field of Orthodontics which is used to move molar teeth, especially permanent first molars, distally (backwards) in an arch. This procedure is often used in treatment of patients who have Class 2 malocclusion. The cause is often the result of loss of E space in an arch due to early loss of primary molar teeth and mesial (forward) migration of the molar teeth. Sometimes molars are distalized to make space for other impacted teeth, such as premolars or canines, in the mouth. Distalization in the maxillary arch is easier than the mandibular arch because maxillary bone has more trabecular bone than the mandible, which has higher percentage of cortical bone. One of the most popular devices that is used to distalize molars is known as Pendulum appliance and Pendex Appliance. These were developed by Hilgers in 1990.
Occlusal Splints
Occlusal splint therapy has been used for many years for the diagnosis and treatment of various disorders of masticatory system. Many designs are described in the literature. The different types of splint are used to treat different conditions. a proper examination and differential diagnosis is necessary to lead to a decision regarding the appropriate role of splint therapy for each problem. After reading this book, clinicians should be better equipped to successfully implement splint therapy into their armamentarium of treatment options in managing masticatory system disorders.
Digitalization in Prosthodontics
Computer Aided Design - Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) & 3D Printing technology has already made significant strides in the field of fixed prosthodontics. Today CAD/CAM & 3D Printing technology has become commercially available for fabrication of complete and partial dentures. This book highlights the different digital systems that are available today, their usage protocol, advantages over the conventional methods.
Pit and Fissure Sealants in Dentistry
Dental Caries is one of the most common oral diseases to impact human lives adversely. The presence of deep pits and fissures on the occlusal surfaces of the posterior teeth has been one of the various factors responsible for this multi-factorial disease. Depending upon the susceptibility of the individual to Dental Caries, the pit and fissure sealants can be used effectively to prevent the same. The principle by which it works is by forming a protective layer on the occlusal surface immune to salivary environment. Various materials have been used as sealants including Glass ionomer and resins. This book explores in detail all the viable materials used as Sealants whether used independently or in combination and the preventive effect that they have on the human teeth.
3D printing in prosthodontics
3D printing is a modern technology with various applications in prosthetic dentistry that has developed rapidly during last years as it saves time, manpower and guarantees perfect marginal fit of the fabricated constructions. An advantage of the additive technologiesconcerning prosthetic dentistry, is the possibility to print objects from various materials: polymers, composites, metals and alloys with a dense structure and redetermined surface roughness .They allow the manufacturing of complicated geometrical shapes without the need of special adjusting of the CAM unit as well as the use of different materials in different parts of the same object after controlled conduction.
Face Lift Procedure
Cosmetic surgery also known as Aesthetic surgery is devoted to the normalization of abnormal appearance and to treat the psychological distress that is caused by self-consciousness and to restore feeling of normality along with boost of self-confidence of the patient.Throughout the world, demand for cosmetic surgery is escalating, which reflects the importance of normal appearance for successful socio psychological functioning in societies which are becoming increasingly competitive and the introduction of new and more successful cosmetic surgical techniques.
Ayurveda in Dentistry
Ayurveda, the Indian system of medicine literally means 'knowledge of life'. It includes art of living, science of health and philosophy of life. Though more than 5000 years old, it is by no means an outdated science. Even today, people of India think and live according to principles of Ayurveda. Dentistry is one of the recognised sub-specialities of 'Shalakyatantra' i.e. surgery of head and neck, which is one of the eight recognized specialities of Ayurveda. The principles of Ayurveda are based on sound scientific principles, which would remain as eternal truths. Ayurveda believes in treating the man as a whole. Hence Dentistry was specially taken up at postgraduate level. Naturally, every 'Dantashastrajnya' i.e. Dentist was well versed with ayurvedic medicine and surgery. As local measures and surgical treatment constitute important therapeutic measure, Dantshashtra was a surgical sub speciality. Even today's dentist styles himself as dental surgeon and not as a physician.In this book, an attempt is made to dig out the golden mine of Ayurveda in field of dentistry, so that hidden wealth of knowledge can be easily digested, absorbed and utilised by the dentists all over the world.
Post and core
Maintenance of primary and permanent dentition in a healthy condition is important for the well-being of children. It ensures proper mastication, esthetics, phonetics, space-maintenance, and prevention of aberrant habits. The partial or complete loss of coronal tooth structure in the primary dentition may occur due to dental caries or physical trauma. Primary dentition is more prone to Early Childhood Caries and restoring them becomes inevitable owing to the pivotal role. This book gives an overview of all the details of post and core used in pediatric dentistry.
Independent Private Dental Practice vs Dental Chains
Master's Thesis from the year 2020 in the subject Medicine - Dentistry, grade: 68, Manchester Metropolitan University Business School, language: English, abstract: This study casts light upon the future development of dental professional practice in Germany. Young dentists - members of Generation Y & Z - enter the market and look for work models which fit into their lifestyle. An analysis and evaluation of popular structures following current market trends explores four different business models for the operation of dental practices and work of dentists. As a central part of the research, the patient's view on the topic is introduced. Emphasis is placed on insights into patients' ideas and opinions about those models and to see whether a business model may influence the choice of a new dentist. To explore the way to a decision, a patient may take, Kotler's 5-Stage Model of the Consumer Buying Process is adapted to the needs of this study. The 5th stage has not been included because it deals with the situation after a decision has been taken. At the same time, the link between consumer and patient is discussed. Guided by that model, a survey with patients of a German dental practice is conducted. A concurrent triangulation method design, consisting of a questionnaire and semi-structured interviews, is chosen for data collection. The questionnaire has contained questions on decision making following Kotler's model and additional questions on different providers of dental care. Over a period of eight working days, 61 questionnaires have been submitted, and four interviews have been conducted. The statistical evaluation has revealed results that are mainly consistent with the existing literature. Even today, personal recommendations from friends and family are the most important sources of information. Accessibility and technical equipment have been identified to be crucial features of a dental practice. However, the most critical characteristics recognised hav
Zygomatic and Pterygoid Implants
The posterior maxilla has been described as the most difficult and problematic intraoral area confronting the implant practitioner, requiring a maximum of ingenuity for the achievement of successful results. Solutions like sinus lifts often involve double site procedures and added bone grafting that involves a longer healing period, possibility of perforation of the sinus membrane along with the risk of infection.In such cases, when patients have severely atrophic maxilla and are unwilling or unable to undergo extensive bone grafting, various newer treatment modalities like zygomatic and pterygoid implants were introduced.Pterygoid and Zygoma implants provide a solution for a patient with a severely resorbed jaw bone with minimal surgical trauma and maximum oral function.
Dental Health Education
Health education, traditionally and correctly, one of the cornerstones of preventive dentistry, has over the years involved considerable investments of time, energy, personnel and money. However, there has been a burden of justified criticism, due to lack of evidence-based effectiveness. Oral hygiene, however, has consistently been recognized as the staple and inescapable component of preventing gingivitis and also (although, debatably, to a relatively lesser degree) dental caries. India is the sixth biggest country by its area but it is the second most populous country. The developing economy, lack of qualified dental manpower in rural areas and poor awareness towards oral health has contributed for steady raise in the prevalence of caries in the last few decades. Traditionally, health was considered as 'absence of disease' & the implied duty of health professionals was to treat the disease. It was recognized that for the effective strategy against disease in the long term, prevention was the key.
Precision Attachments
The desire to have a balance between functional stability and cosmetic appeal in partial dentures gave rise to the development of Precision Attachments in dentistry.The use of Precision Attachments for partial denture retention is a type of practice builder for the better class of dentistry. The precision attachment is sometimes said to be a connecting a link between fixed and removable partial denture as it incorporates features common to both types of construction.
Traumatic Dental Injuries in Children
Advances in dental research have improved the ability of dentist to ensure long term retention of traumatized teeth in children. It is the dentist responsibility to stay abreast of new information and to be available to patients who need urgent treatment.When the dentist is faced with an emergency, it is of the utmost importance to give emotional support to the patient as well as to the stressed and anxious parents. Simple explanations of diagnosis, purpose of the emergency treatment and prognosis will be reassuring. This book is helpful for dental students, research scholars and dental practioners for management of trauma to primary and permanent teeth.
Promoting Health Through Self-Management
Self-management is the ability of the patient to deal with all that a disease entails, including symptoms, treatment, physical and social consequences, and lifestyle changes. It relates to the tasks that an individual must undertake to live well with one or more conditions. These tasks include gaining confidence to deal with medical management, role-management, and emotional management. Successful self-management requires knowledge about the condition, how it needs to be treated and what needs to be done. People feel more confident and engaged when they are encouraged to self-manage by professionals; therefore supporting self-management is a key to prioritizing person-centered care.
Medical Emergency In Dental Office
Surgical care in the outpatient setting requires knowledge and management of medical emergencies. Any kind of Emergency are to be expected in any active surgical practice. Prevention, the most important component of management of medical emergencies and pathophysiology of various medical conditions. Undoubtedly, the best way to manage medical emergencies is through a thorough preoperative evaluation before they happen. While even this happens then treatment of medical emergency starts in the dental office before summoning the emergency physician.
MTA in Pediatric Dentistry
Throughout the dental history, a variety of materials have been used for retrograde fillings, perforation repair and apexification. Most of them have some or other problems that limits their use in dental procedures. Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) was invented in the mid-1990s at Loma Linda University, USA, with the aim of introducing a material for use as a root-end filler that would set and develop its properties in the presence of moisture. This book concisely presents detailed information on diverse aspects of MTA and its use with a view to making it more widely available to clinicians and researchers. The topics covered include the development of MTA and its introduction into clinical dentistry, its chemical composition and setting characteristics, manipulation and placement, material properties, reactivity and the influence of environmental factors. Significant literature supporting MTA and its various applications in Pediatric dentistry has been explained and discussed.
Fixed Prosthetic Options In Implantology
For many patients, being edentulous would be regarded as a handicap with respect to oral function and psychosocial impact on quality of life. As a result, restoration of oral function through oral surgery and placement of implants is often welcome. Long-term studies have demonstrated that the edentulous jaw can be restored successfully with implant-supported fixed prostheses.Nowadays, the use of implants has a great impact on the prosthodontic treatment of the edentulous patient. A variety of prosthetic designs associated with implant prostheses can be observed, and some new designs have emerged in response to the specific clinical conditions of the edentulous jaw provided with implants. Valid clinical methods and treatment strategies -involving the implant technology - exist to ensure the quality of prosthetic reconstruction.Hence, with regard to some special implant indications, specific prosthodontic principles are needed.
Orofacial Pain And Its Menifestation
The myofacial pain is the most neglected topic though it is very important as we know the face is the complex structure which consist of ear, mouth, nose most importantly dentition which itself represents complexity with jaw, tongue, teeth, gums etc. In this book we focus on to understand the myofacial pain identify the cause and purpose of diagnosis and treatment plan. This is the step to increase our knowledge and awareness about orofacial pain and its menifestation.
Disaster Management
Disasters are unfortunately a fact of life which affects individuals as well as communities. A disaster is the impact of a natural or human- made hazard that negatively affects society or environment.A mass disaster is an unanticipated and unexpected event of calamitous proportion that causes widespread injury or death. These catastrophic events can be aircraft crashes, train derailments, refinery explosions, natural disasters, or a myriad of other events and occurrences never before experienced.The identification of large numbers of casualties in mass disasters is complex and fraught with hazards, both physically and emotionally. The identification process is fundamentally the same as that in a routine comparative dental identification, but the inherent problems are magnified. Problems of body fragmentation, mutilation, commingling and incineration, idiosyncratic dental records from numerous regions, poor working conditions and psychological stresses all confound the identification process. The key to successful mass disaster identification is preparedness.
Endodontic Management In Geriatric Patients
Interest in dentistry for the elderly and recognition that particular problems arise in treating the elderly has developed rapidly over the last few decades. An increasing proportion of the world's population is made up of elderly people, many of whom have considerable need for complex medical and dental care. Elderly have low expectation of oral health, which needs to be changed by trained dental professionals. Treatment plan should be aimed at retaining the maximum number of natural teeth through preventive and curative procedures rather than extraction and dentures. Health care delivery should be as pain-free and comfortable for the elderly as possible.
Ocular Prosthesis
The loss of eye requires early replacement so that the patient may return to a normal life. Prosthetic rehabilitation is enhanced if an implant is placed in the orbit. Most patients benefit from custom made ocular prosthesis that are modified to the individual needs. This approach is more time consuming but the esthetic and functional results are better with this technique.The disfigurement resulting from the loss of eye can cause significant psychological as well as social consequences. With the advancement in Ophthalmic surgery and ocular prosthesis, patients can be rehabilitated very effectively.
Cone Beam Computed Tomography
This book highlights the broad use of CBCT in the dentomaxillofacial region, and also focuses on future software advancements that can further optimize CBCT imaging.Computed tomography (CT) play a paramount role in the accurate diagnosis, treatment planning, and prognostic evaluation of various complex dental pathologies. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) presents as a separate C-arm to conventional computed tomography (CT) and it has gained broad acceptance in dentistry in the last 5 years as it generates 3-dimensional (3D) data at lower radiation dose and cost and a higher spatial resolution than conventional CT. The advent of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) has revolutionized the practice of dentistry, and this technique is now considered the gold standard for imaging the oral and maxillofacial area.

Ergonomics in Dental Practice
"Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well being and not merely an absence of disease or infirmity". The aims of occupational health are- the prevention of diseases and maintenance of the highest degree of physical, mental and social well-being of workers in all occupations. Occupational health and ergonomics (human engineering) are relatively new concepts. It simply means: "fitting the job to the worker". The object of ergonomics is "to achieve the best mutual adjustment of man and his work, for the improvement of human efficiency and well-being". Dental professionals commonly experience musculoskeletal pain during the course of their careers. While the occasional backache or neck ache is not a cause for alarm, if regularly occurring pain or discomfort is ignored, the cumulative physiological damage can lead to an injury or a career-ending disability. The concept of changes in dental practice by using new technologies and proper care by dentist give greater comfort and better occupational health. The aim is to discuss the ergonomic aspects in the dental profession and prevent of ergonomic risks and problems in Dental Practice.

Recent advances in preventive dentistry
Dramatic improvements in scientific knowledge and technology in oral health means that the potential now exists to eliminate the major disorders. Number of advances in prevention pointing out that prevention of oral diseases has assumed importance in recent years. Shift in focus from treatment of oral diseases to prevention has taken place. A lot of research has been directed towards efforts to develop methods of prevention. These range from simple to highly sophisticated techniques. The recent innovative and exciting techniques have shown good research successes that most likely will be helpful for early disease intervention in the future. It will dramatically alter the way in which dentists diagnose, intervene, treat and manage oral diseases, with major benefits to the overall health of their patients.
Endodontic Consideration in Dental Trauma
Dental traumatology has progressed in recent years to improve the understanding of the biological considerations involved in both diagnosis and treatment principles. The management of dental injuries is an evolving science. Sometimes, accurate counseling is essential so that the parents are aware of the possible long-term consequence of the injuries if the child has damaged permanent successor teeth. In the light of past and present scientific studies, it inevitable that some of the proposed recommendations will themselves be modified as new science reviews the effectiveness of treatment methods, and new materials and techniques develop to facilitate treatment. Majority time Dental trauma may involve multiple injuries to both the teeth and the supporting tissues. Recommendations for tooth treatment may not always be appropriate for multiple adjacent injuries. Identifying the etiologic factors makes it possible to establish preventive measures, aimed at avoiding future injuries.The outcome of treatment depends on the extent of injury, the stage of root formation and correct execution of treatment. Aim of the Book is to discuss Endodontic consideration for Dental Trauma.
Osseointegration In Dental And Craniofacial Implantology
This book gives an insight on implantology from its evolution to the present scenario related to osseointegration at intra oral and extra oral aspects. The knowledge of osseointegration is important for beginners, clinicians, professionals and researchers starting from under graduate to post graduate students not only in the field of dentistry but also in the field of prosthetics, anaplastology, maxillofacial prosthodontics, implant biomaterials and implant material sciences.
Implant Failures
Implant therapy has become common practice and will probably gain in popularity during the next several years. Failure that do occur may be related to patient variables, design and manufacturing of implants compositional structure of implants, certain design feature, restorative and surgical skills of the members of the team and so on. Starting knowledge of the surgical and prosthetic possibilities for each of the team towards providers is of great benefit in the treatment and prevention. When an implant fail, a tailor made treatment plan should be provided to each patient according to all relevant variables. Owing to the remarkable success of dental implants, there has been growing interest in identifying the factors associated with implant failure.
Dentistry Beyond The Classroom
What they don't teach you in school.... Management and how to profit.
Japanese Dentition
This book introduces the achievements of dental anthropology research in Japan to the people in the world. It starts with the tooth morphology of the people in the Paleolithic Period about 20,000 years ago. Then it goes through Jomon Age and Yayoi Age when the admixture of the people happened. Here the difference of the tooth shape between those two human groups is emphasized. After these ages, Japanese teeth were not the same from age to age influenced by the environment. In the current age of Japan, topics such as third molar agenesis, change of eruption time of the first permanent teeth, mandibular torus, and high canine are discussed. These abnormal conditions in Japan also reflect the characteristic features of Japanese history and culture.
Oral Health Essentials
Dental and oral medicine is a field of medicine, which is concerned with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases and disorders of the oral cavity. It encompasses the study of the dentition, the temporomandibular joint, and supporting muscular, nervous, lymphatic, vascular and anatomical structures. Dental caries and periodontal disease are two of the most common oral diseases. Dental caries or tooth decay is the breakdown of the teeth due to acids produced by bacteria. The inflammation of the tissues surrounding the teeth is referred to as periodontal disease. Scaling and root planing, teeth restoration, surgical extraction of teeth and endodontic root canal treatment are certain dental treatments that may be performed for the maintenance of oral health. Oral diseases can be largely prevented by maintaining proper hygiene and with regular professional cleaning and evaluation. The aim of this book is to present researches that have transformed the discipline of oral health and dentistry and aided its advancement. It strives to provide a fair idea about this discipline and to help develop a better understanding of the latest advances within this field. With state-of-the-art inputs by acclaimed experts of this field, this book targets students and professionals.
The American College of Dentists Ethics Report
This is a systematic study of where the dental profession stands with respect to ethics. The ACD Board of Regents authorized this 2015 project based on the 1926 Carnegie Foundation study of dental education conducted by William Gies. The distinguishing features of this report include extensive collection of data and attention to defining issues and causes.
The 9-Star Patient Experience
The 9-Star Patient Experience: Moment of Magic Playbook reveals the strategies that top tier dental practices deploy to turn their regular patients into lifelong raving fans who pay more and refer a lot more. Truth be told, dentistry is retail healthcare. So how does a dentist who is itching for more growth position his/her practice so that it does not look and feel like every other practice down the road? You blow your patients' minds away with a service experience so awesome they'd be hooked on your practice for life. Think of the 9-Star Experience as a being a level of service that is four stars above the 5-Star experience you'd get at the Ritz-Carlton or Four Seasons Hotels. Dentists who've built practices that have brought them freedom know this fact: bread and butter dentistry is not enough to bring in the levels of production and collections that bring freedom. One has to build a complete care practice that leans more on high-value cases than it does on the bread and butter procedures.Now... high-value patients do not invest the large sums of money needed for their treatments at a dental practice where the patient experience is an after thought. No Siree!!! They invest money to get implants, cosmetic dentistry, ortho treatments and other complex-care treatments with dentists who have taken the time to gain their trust. Building trust and having your patients - especially the high-value cases - say yes to treatment is what the 9-Star Patient Experience does for you. Here is a snapshot of what deploying the 9-Star Patient Experience will do for you: = It will build the level of trust in you that allows patients to ascend your treatment value ladder from basic hygiene towards higher-value treatments= It gives your patients the experience of not only being understood, but of being cared for as well - this is the key to increased case acceptance and growth through referrals= It will skyrocket your practice's profitability - The prosperity that you and your family will enjoy as a result of the success of your dental practice is a direct function of the total number of procedures your practice does as well as the percentage of that total which falls into the high-value category. Delivering the 9-Star Patient Experience is the only way to ensure an increase in both numbers.
Endodontic Emergencies
'PAIN' is the most common factor that motivates patients to seek dental treatment. Majority of patients requesting dental treatment for relief of pain have pulpal periapical disease. The prompt and accurate diagnosis of the emergency problems is essential for providing appropriate treatment to the patients. This book aims to give thorough understanding about the varied causes of endodontic emergencies and its correct plan of treatment. It highlights the conditions which elicit pain before and after the endodontic treatment as well as during the endodontic treatment. Which will help students and practitioners in managing these endondontic emergencies more adequately.
Esthetics in Implants
The replacement of a teeth from the anterior maxilla is most challenging because of highly specific soft and hard tissue criteria in addition to all other esthetic, phonetic, functional, and occlusal requirements. Unique surgical and prosthetic concepts are implemented for ideal smile.Furthermore, the immediate loading of implants approach virtually eliminates post-surgical discomfort while offering an almost instantaneous improvement in speech and masticatory function, esthetics, and patients self-image.
Skeletal maturity indicators
Skeletal maturation is an integral part of an individual's pattern of growth and development. Accurate determination of skeletal maturity and remaining growth is crucial for many orthodontic, orthognathic and dental implant decisions. Cervical vertebral stages and hand-wrist radiographs are currently used to identify the peak mandibular bone growth. These are highly subjective techniques that not only involve radiographic exposure but also lack the ability to determine the intensity of the growth spurt and the end of growth. Accurate determination of skeletal maturity is required in dentistry for decisions in dentofacial orthopeadic therapy and orthognathic surgery for correction of skeletal discrepancy. The pubertal growth spurt is considered to be an advantageous period for orthopeadic corrections of the facial complex.
Encyclopedia of Navigation System in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
The navigation system is one of the technologies which has completely transformed the management of any disease, disorder or condition in the field of surgery. Navigation surgery gives an answer to all the questions like, "Where is my anatomical target", "How to reach my target safely" or "where and how to position my implant while preserving vital structures". Navigation assisted surgery is a beneficial addition in the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery. There is no doubt that it provides reliability by increasing precision when planning any surgical resection or reconstruction. In addition, navigation surgery offers more security in operating complicated cases and may also provide a better clinical outcome if used judiciously. In this book, we present a review of the development of this rapidly evolving system, its components, principles and applications in the field of maxillofacial and craniofacial surgery.
Digital Prosthodontics
Digital technology is driving remarkable change in the practice of Prosthodontics. The many benefits of digital dental technologies can be summarized under four broad categories. The first is improved communication, error free, real time communication underscores the efficiency of integrated electronic patient records. Advancements in dental technology enable patients to receive modern solutions of conventional dental problems. Prosthodontists can incorporate digital technology into their practices to improve their workflow efficiency and ease of collaboration with laboratories. In this book, digital technologies that are available for prosthetic dentistry such as digital radiography, electronic prescriptions, computerized case presentations, virtual articulator and facebow, computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing restorations, digital impressions, and shade selection are described along with emphasis on advantages and limitations of digital technology.
Conscious Sedation in Paediatric Dentistry
What child is today & what he becomes tomorrow is an amalgamation of his experiences & pathways which he has explored. These have indelible imprints on the direction & meaning of his life.The performance of a painless procedure for the child is one of the key factors in establishing a good relationship with the operator. When the behavioral approach in conjunction with local anesthesia, does not achieve satisfactory control of the pediatric patient's behavior the next step is the pharmacological approach. A safe and commonly used anxiety control technique used for pediatric patients in the dental office is Conscious sedation.
Microscope Dentistry
A Dental Operating Microscope (DOM) is an optical instrument, mechanical, electrical or both, consisting of a combination of lenses which provide the clinician with a stereoscopic, high quality magnified image of small structures with in the surgical area. Greater visual acuity with the operating microscope, wide range of magnifications and bright illumination allows for a higher success rate, because vision is enhanced so dramatically that cases can be treated with a higher degree of confidence and accuracy. Microscopes are useful for diagnosis and clinical procedures in medical and dental fields. It has been used in various medical disciplines such as Ophthalmology, Neurosurgery, Reconstructive surgery and Vascular surgery. DOM enhances the Dental surgeon's vision so improving treatment outcomes in various specialist fields such as Restorative Dentistry, Endodontics, Pediatric Dentistry, Periodontics, Prosthodontics, Oral surgery and Orthodontics.
Working Length Determination
Working length determination: concepts and challenges deals with in detailed knowledge about one of the most important steps in a root canal therapy viz. working length determination. The book talks about the history, the various concepts including the latest in determining the working length with utmost precision. The most interesting aspect of the book is its notes on the clinical challenges faced during this step and the troubleshooting measures to achieve success. The book provides one of the easiest to understand literature on this topic for better understanding and clinical application.
Rotary Systems in Endodontics
The speciality of Endodontics has evolved and changed over the years like many other dental and medical specialties. Endodontic instruments play a major role in the success of endodontic treatment starting from the preparation of the access cavity to the final obturation of the root canal space. The variety of rotary instruments for endodontic treatment is staggering. There has been a constant quest for quicker, safer and effective instrument for the treatment protocol. Since the introduction of the first rotating nickel-titanium files for the preparation of the root canal systems in endodontics the face of endodontics has changed. The introduction of nickel-titanium (Ni-Ti) to endodontics almost two decades ago has dramatically changed the way root canal preparation is performed, in both general and specialist practices. Rotary root canal instruments manufactured from nickel-titanium alloy have proved to be a valuable adjunct for root canal therapy and are helping to practice a more predictably successful endodontics. At last, its all about winning the Endodontic Game!
Teeth as forensic Evidence
A lot of recent and ancient studies included the importance of human teeth in forensic investigations and proof crimes. This enabled the legal authorities to reach the perpetrators and implement justice against them, and forensic science also enabled scientists to determine the causes of death for people who died years ago and the events that surrounded their deaths. This book will provide more valuable information related to teeth as forensic evidence with explaining a practical method how to extract DNA from burnt teeth.
