Cleft and Craniofacial Orthodontics Comprehensive reference work
for managing patients with orofacial clefts and complex
craniofacial conditions from birth to skeletal maturity Cleft and
Craniofacial Orthodontics is a comprehensive and detailed reference
work on the management of patients with orofacial clefts and
complex craniofacial conditions. Covering patients ranging from
birth to skeletal maturity, the book provides orthodontists,
plastic and oral and maxillofacial surgeons, speech and language
therapists, pediatric dentists, and prosthodontists with the
information they need to evaluate and treat these conditions.
Highlighting the multidisciplinary team approach, the book aids
clinicians in developing a complete plan for their patients. Each
chapter is organized to reflect clinical practice, making it easy
to apply the information to the treatment setting. Additionally, a
companion website offers video clips of surgical and orthodontic
procedures to further aid in reader comprehension and application.
Sample topics covered within the work include: Introduction to
orofacial clefting: cleft lip and palate anatomy, cleft types and
classification, epidemiology, and genetics of cleft lip and palate
Early management of orofacial clefting: prenatal diagnosis and
counselling, feeding infants with clefts, and development of
nasoalveolar molding therapy Orthodontic treatment: interceptive
orthodontics, management of anteroposterior and transverse
discrepancies, preparation for alveolar bone grafting, and combined
orthodontic-orthognathic management Orthodontic and
multidisciplinary management of twenty complex craniofacial
conditions including craniofacial microsomia, Treacher-Collins
syndrome, and syndromic craniosynostosis Orthodontists, plastic
surgeons, craniofacial surgeons, oral and maxillofacial surgeons,
speech and language therapists, pediatric dentists,
prosthodontists, and otolaryngologists can use this book to attain
essential knowledge on managing patients with orofacial clefts and
complex craniofacial conditions and understand how to apply that
knowledge to practical patient settings.
The concept of "totally edentulous patient" has changed over time
and includes not only patients who have lost all their teeth, but
also those with terminal dentition or those who must replace
prosthetic rehabilitations that have failed. In all these cases,
the ability to manage the edentulous space is essential, also to
evaluate the most suitable type of prosthesis for the patient
(mucosa-supported total denture, overdenture, hybrid prosthesis or
full-arch prosthesis on implants). This volume provides dentists
and dental technicians with the basics of modern total dentures and
illustrates the techniques and technologies used to design and
produce "rehabilitative" prostheses. In particular, it describes
the B.A.R.I. Technique (Boosted Advanced Rehabilitation on
Implants), fundamental for the predictable transfer of all the
information received from the removable prosthesis into the fixed
one on implants during immediate loading procedures.
The Manual of Clinical Procedures in Dentistry covers everything
you need to know about the core procedures in dentistry, how to do
them, and the rationale that underpins them. Full of useful and
easy-to-access information, it acts as a compendium of practical
procedures in primary dental care, supporting students and dental
practitioners in their daily professional and academic life.
"Surgical Essentials of Immediate Implant Dentistry "provides a
definitive text on this important treatment modality. Assisting
readers to make sense of the various clinical techniques and
protocols, Beagle discusses the available underlying evidence to
provide a practical, comprehensive and navigable aid to attaining a
thorough understanding of this complex and highly relevant subject.
All aspects of immediate placement of endosseous implants are
clearly and scientifically discussed, enabling the reader to survey
the entire subject area, fusing clinical guidance with scientific
discussion.
"Surgical Essentials of Immediate Implant Dentistry" takes
pre-operative risk assessment and indications and contraindications
for immediate loading as its logical starting point. It then
proceeds to examine the treatment of infected sites, extraction
site healing, methods of extraction, surgical protocol, and
finishes with a discussion of complications."Surgical Essentials of
Immediate Implant Dentistry" will find a ready place within
libraries of oral and maxillofacial surgeons, periodontists and
prosthodontists and will provide all dentists with an interest in
implant dentistry with a useful and welcome companion to this
expanding area of clinical practice and research.

The association between ratings of general satisfaction with
present/existing conventional complete removable dentures (CRDs)
and treatment preferences for a mandibular 2-implant retained
overdenture (IODs) as a replacement/alternative modality was
explored. Variables taken into account include patient age, gender,
social status, income levels, etc. Will scores be correlated? and
How? What can help the practitioner (general and specialized
dentists, gerondontologists and denturologists) predict treatment
satisfaction and preference for alternatives? This read might
reveal some answers.

Which developments can be expected to take place in the dental
health of the Dutch population in the decades to come, and what are
the influential factors? What effects might the changing supply of
dental professionals, the additional substitution of
responsibilities from dentists to dental hygienists and the
possible reforms in health care insurance have on the nation's oral
status? These are some of the central questions discussed in this
report by the Scenario Committee and the research group. For this
purpose, the Committee developed a computer simulation model of
dental health care which was used to analyze future scenarios. The
future scenarios described in this report clearly show that a
number of crucial decisions must be taken if dental health care is
to remain accessible and available for all sections of the
population in the future.

Clean root canal systems are essential for successful endodontic
treatment. With contributions from leading endodontists from around
the world, Dr. Nestor Cohenca here presents the etiology of
endodontic disease caused by the endodontic biofilm and all
therapies available to predictably disinfect the root canal system,
thus increasing successful endodontic outcomes. Disinfection of
Root Canal Systems: The Treatment of Apical Periodontitis is an
evidence-based manual that describes root canal anatomy, the
endodontic biofilm, and the role of disinfection before presenting
the most up-to-date methods of irrigation and disinfection.
Individual chapters are devoted to each method, such as positive
pressure irrigation, apical negative pressure irrigation, sonic
activation, photodynamic therapy, laser technology, and ozonization
and electrochemical activation. Clinical photographs throughout
show proper irrigation and disinfection techniques.
Functionally stable internal fixation is of particular relevance to
maxillo facial surgery, because it obviates the discomforts and
inconveniences of intermaxillary fixation. Given the biomechanics
and biophysics of the skeletal system, the true im mobilization of
bone can be achieved only through highly technical means.
Willenegger speaks of an "advanced school" of bone surgery which,
when fully realized, will enable excellent results to be achieved
even in the most difficult fractures. To accomplish this goal,
ongoing refinements are needed in surgical methods and technology.
Advancing the state of operative tech nique has been a central
concern of the Association for the Study of Inter nal Fixation
since its establishment 25 years ago. For this reason, a major
priority of the AOI ASIF has been to develop its own surgical
instrumen tation. With the help of technical commissions comprised
of experts from medi cine, research and manufacturing, the AOI ASIF
has been able to develop and successfully test a line of surgical
instruments whose trademark is known and respected the world over.
For every specialty in traumatology and orthopaedics, including
maxillofacial surgery, the AOIASIF has devel oped both a basic and
a special instrument set designed to meet specific anatomic
requirements."
Dentists have been inundated by patients with an array of
