Tissue Fixation and Processing
This comprehensive manual provides an in-depth exploration of tissue fixation, processing, and embedding techniques essential in histopathology and biomedical research. Beginning with the fundamental concepts of autolysis and fixation, the book delves into the chemistry and classification of various fixatives including aldehydes, oxidizing agents, protein denaturants, and cross-linking compounds highlighting their mechanisms, applications, and impact on tissue morphology and staining properties. It further addresses the physical and chemical factors affecting fixation, such as pH, temperature, penetration rate, and osmolality. Detailed discussions cover both conventional and advanced methods like microwave fixation and the use of secondary fixatives for enhanced preservation. The book also provides extensive guidance on tissue processing stages, including dehydration, clearing, impregnation, and embedding using paraffin, celloidin, resins, and ester wax. Special sections include techniques for photomicrography, image analysis, and tumor marker identification, offering valuable insights for diagnostic and research applications.
Microvascular Reconstruction in Head and Neck
The deformities of the head or neck are often the result of trauma, oncologic resection, infection, osteoradionecrosis, and congenital or developmental pathology. Multiple tissue types that compose the craniofacial region including bone, cartilage, nerve, fat, muscle, mucosa, and varying dermal and epidermal thickness, as well the inherently intricate contours of the craniofacial skeleton can complicate reconstruction. The introduction and refinement of free tissue transfer (FTT), combined with microvascular anastomosis, allows major ablative defects to be reliably reconstructed with a single operation, undertaken at resection. FTT success rates ranging from 94.3% to 99% have generally been reported. However, as with any surgical procedure, local, general, and specific complications can be encountered in the perioperative period.However, significant advances in microvascular and craniomaxillofacial surgery over the past 50 years have resulted in dramatically improved outcomes. This book throws a light on the various techniques and flaps used in head and neck reconstruction.
Minimally Invasive Endodontic Access Cavities
Whereas traditional access cavities are portrayed as a dentist-conveniencefocused treatment, minimal access cavity preparation has been advocated as a patientcentered clinical strategy. The argument seems convincing at first glance because the old method is based on standardised shapes to provide direct access to all canal orifices, whereas dentine conservation through minimal cavities is intended to be achieved according to the clinical situations of teeth. The main justification for the socalled patient-centered approach is that the minimally invasive concept typically promotes the significance of leaving as much of the pulp chamber roof intact as possible. This is supported by the hypothesis that this is relevant to maintaining the overall resistance strength of teeth and, consequently, their long-term survival.
Immunotherapy in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Immunotherapy has emerged as a promising modality in the treatment of Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC), particularly for advanced and recurrent cases. Unlike conventional therapies, which target the tumor directly, immunotherapy harnesses the body's immune system to recognize and destroy cancer cells. The most widely studied approach in OSCC involves immune checkpoint inhibitors targeting the PD-1/PD-L1 axis. Drugs like nivolumab and pembrolizumab have demonstrated improved survival rates in patients with recurrent or metastatic OSCC, especially those with PD-L1 expression.Combining immunotherapy with surgery, radiotherapy, or chemotherapy is being explored to increase efficacy. As research progresses, personalized immunotherapy guided by molecular profiling holds the potential to significantly improve prognosis and quality of life for OSCC patients. Continuous clinical trials and translational research are critical to overcoming current limitations and expanding its therapeutic role.

Dental implantology and bone reconstruction are critical components of modern oral surgery, aimed at restoring function and aesthetics in patients with missing teeth or insufficient jawbone. Dental implants serve as artificial tooth roots, providing a stable foundation for prosthetic restorations such as crowns or bridges. However, successful implantation often requires sufficient bone volume and density, which may be compromised due to trauma, infection, or long-term tooth loss. Bone reconstruction techniques-such as bone grafting, guided bone regeneration, and sinus lift procedures-are employed to rebuild and strengthen the jawbone prior to or during implant placement. Advances in biomaterials and surgical techniques have significantly improved outcomes, allowing for predictable and long-lasting results. By integrating implantology with bone regeneration, oral surgeons can offer comprehensive treatment plans that enhance oral function, facial structure, and patient confidence. This combined approach reflects a growing emphasis on precision, personalization, and long-term success in oral healthcare.

Minimally Invasive Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics
The notion of minimal intervention dentistry (MID) has changed with the advancement of adhesive restorative materials and our growing comprehension of the caries process. Throughout a person's life, the first three MID aspects-early caries detection and caries risk assessment, remineralization of demineralized enamel and dentine, and optimal caries-preventive measures-should be used. The principle of preserving the natural integrity of the tooth is also applicable when performing an endodontic procedure. Even though conventional root canal treatment methods show a clinical success rate of 68-85%, several factors have been identified as significant contributors to endodontic treatment failure, including compromised mechanical integrity that can result in fracture and missing root canal anatomy that can cause residual intracanal infection. This book provides insight into overcoming the shortcomings and failures of conventional caries treatment and root canal treatment.
Adult Orthodontics
The frequency of malocclusion in adults is equal (or) greater than that observed in children and adolescents. Until recent years adults seeking orthodontic treatment was unusual. Adults seeks treatment more often for esthetic reasons and hence is likely to have unreasonable expectations about the outcome of the treatment. On a brighter note, adult patients are cleaner, more careful more punctual, prompt paying, much less sensitive to pain and treatment time is either the same or less than that of younger patients. Before therapy begins, the patient and the provider can mutually recognize and agree on realistic orthodontic goals by planning treatment and mechanotherapy while considering the unique circumstances that may impact the patient's biological response to treatment, resulting in an immensely rewarding experience.
