This book prepares dental students and vocational dental practitioners for primary dental practice. It will also be helpful to general dental practitioners to enable them to undertake continuing professional development. The book provides a background to the holistic approach that dentists need to use when identifying treatment needs, and covers the integration of treatment and its planning, aspects of dental team building, practice selection and management matters. The first chapter examines issues in relation to career choices, the location of the practice together with the means by which access to dental care may be increased. Chapters 2 and 3 take the reader from outside to inside the dental practice to examine relationships within the practice. This includes those with the patient as well as the dental team. The fourth chapter describes clinical excellence in primary dental care by examining clinical decision-making, the need for referral as well as the place of prevention and restorative philosophies in treatment of patients. The last chapters examine the business of dental practice and suggest future pathways for the newly qualified dental practitioner.

Human Disease for Dentistry will help the dental student to understand the manifestations of human diseases and disorders and the diagnostic services used in their investigations and treatment. Many medical conditions of other systems manifest themselves in the mouth, and dental students are
expected to recognize these symptoms as well as to understand the causes and the underlying condition. This book covers these areas specifically for dental students, highlighting the conditions which are most important to the practicing dentist.
The book will assist the student in recognizing problems in the medical history of patients about to undergo dental treatment and will encourage them to take appropriate action. Written in an innovative style with numerous key points and clinical cases throughout, the book provides the necessary
information to provide first rate dental treatment and advice to patients.

People who suffer from chronic pain are typically found to be more anxious and fearful of pain than those who do not. Recent evidence has shown that the pain itself serves as a mechanism through which chronic pain is maintained over time. Even once the muscle or tissue damage is healed, a fear of further pain can lead to avoidance behavior, which over time, leads to deconditioning (e.g. decreased mobility, weight gain). This in turn leads to further experiences, negative expectancies, and strengthened avoidance. It is the reciprocal relationship between fear and avoidance that is thought to be responsible for maintaining pain behavior and disability.
With fear of pain known to cause significant suffering and functional disability, there is a need for a greater understanding of this condition. This is the first book to explore this topic. It starts by introducing the current theoretical positions regarding pain-related fear and anxiety along with relevant empirical findings. It then provides comprehensive coverage of assessment issues and treatment strategies. Finally, the book suggests further areas for investigation.
Pain-related fear and anxiety are now receiving considerable attention, and efficient and effective treatments are fast becoming available. This book will help guide and extend our understanding of a condition that has been shown to be associated with substantial suffering and disability.

Andreas Neff zeigt die exzellenten diagnostischen und therapeutischen Optionen der Endoskopie, die fur den MKG-Chirurgen bei der komplexen Anatomie der Mund-Kiefer-Gesichtsregion, speziell der Kieferhoehlen und der Nasengange, des Kiefergelenks, aber auch der Speicheldrusen heute unverzichtbar ist. Minimalinvasive Darstellung und Zugange gemass State of the Art erfordern neben chirurgischem Know-how auch ein spezielles technisches Equipment. Wahrend die Endoskopie in der MKG-Chirurgie meist speziellen Indikationen vorbehalten ist, hat sie insbesondere in der HNO inzwischen einen Grossteil der traditionellen direkten bzw. invasiv-offenen Verfahren ersetzt. Auch in der MKG-Chirurgie wird es analog zu ihren Nachbardisziplinen zunehmend zu Paradigmenwechseln in der Behandlungsstrategie kommen, denen sich die MKG-Chirurgie stellen muss, um sich auch in Zukunft auf Augenhoehe weiterentwickeln zu koennen.

This book is aimed at the undergraduate dental student, the general dental practitioner with an interest in orthodontics and students at the start of their postgraduate orthodontic training. The book assumes the reader has progressed down the path of orthodontic diagnosis and is in the process of formulating a treatment plan. Such planning requires the orthodontist to have a sound understanding of the biological principles of tooth movement, as well as to be aware of the treatment ideals and limitations.

Knowledge of the various types of orthodontic appliances, their design and likely mode of action is also essential. Closely linked to this, advances in materials science have lead to great changes in orthodontic clinical practice in recent years. A chapter on orthodontic materials is therefore included. Orthodontic treatment is not without risk and there is a chapter on iatrogenic effects. Finally, with increasing specialisation there is a need to call upon the services of colleagues from other specialities in treating complex cases and so multidisciplinary treatments are also covered.

A user-friendly instruction book based on Geoffrey Howe's original text written in the 1970's. It retains the unchanged principles underpinning the extraction of teeth and established techniques of surgical management, whilst incorporating the changes which have taken place in key areas of practice. New sections have been added on subjects such as the use of general anaesthetic and the medico-legal climate. A virtual 'Apprentice's Manual', this practical guide takes the student through basic procedures in simple steps, thus underpinning more theoretical teaching provided elsewhere. The author begins with the principles of tooth extraction then goes on to advise on the use of radiographs and the administration of anaesthesia. Surgical removal of teeth is also covered, and a complete section deals with possible complications and their management. This new book not only provides students with the fundamental knowledge needed to perform their first tooth extraction but also prepares them for more complicated techniques they may need to use later on. It should be an essential purchase for every dental undergraduate.Practical guidelines to efficient tooth removal Covers both simple and more complicated extraction techniques No other book concentrates solely on the mechanics of tooth extraction

Accurately diagnosing the myriad of diseases that can affect the mouth, guiding patients correctly, and offering treatment with competence is a permanent challenge for dental surgeons and health professionals. Often, the diagnosis of these diseases is neglected or wrongly performed. This concise book guides health professionals in clinical decision making in oral diseases, assisting them not only on the diagnosis and treatment of oral and maxillofacial diseases, but also in terms of value and benefit of who treats the condition and, above all, who will be treated. The work provides guidelines formulated by a compilation of specific protocols of conduct, focusing on the scientific evidence and enriched by the authors' critical analyses. The book is divided into eight main sections that include twenty-eight chapters. Most of them have no more than 5 pages and follow the same format to standardize their use. Each chapter begins with a summary of the topic, a brief description of the main disease that fall into this diagnostic category, and their main definitions. Then, the clinical characteristics, ways of making the diagnosis, and a protocol for treatment for each lesion are presented. Additionally, the experienced authors interestingly discuss their perceptions on how to give bad news in the Oral Medicine setting; and the last section is especially dedicated to the dental management of medically complex patients or with little-known diseases, such as Burning Mouth Syndrome and COVID-19. More than 140 high resolution clinical images illustrate the book. Clinical Decision-Making in Oral Medicine targets is designed for health professionals and physicians from various specialties, who are interested in diseases with systemic repercussions that affect the oral and maxillofacial complex and in oral repercussions of treatments for complex diseases such as head and neck cancer. Students in dentistry may also find the book of value.

Die Arbeitsgemeinschaft fUr Osteosynthesefragen (AO) hat seit 1958 die biomechanischen und experimentellen Grundlagen der operativen Frakturbehandlung erarbeitet. Als beste Voraussetzung zur Wiederer- langung der vollen Funktion einer gebrochenen Extremitat erwies sich die sofortige schmerzfreie Bewegungstherapie, die durch eine stabile Osteosynthese ermaglicht wird. Dieselben Grundsatze wendete Ro- land Schmoker 1972/73nach Entwicklung einer dreidimensional ver- biegbaren Platte und eines ausgekliigelten Instrumentariums zunachst bei Triimmerfrakturen des Unterkiefers an. Um seine Platte auch nach ausgedehnten Tumorresektionen einset- zen zu kannen, erganzte er sie mit Kiefergelenkprothesen und Veran- kerungselementen zur Fixation eines Zahnersatzes. Diese neuartigen Implantate unterzog er einer experimentellen Priifung der Funktions- stabilitat vorerst an 6 Schafen und fand dann im Minipig ein Tier mit menschenahnlicher Kieferform und entsprechender Kaufunktion. So untersuchte er in der Folge an 37 Minipigs nach ausgedehnten Kiefer- resektionen ohne zusatzlicher Knochentransplantation die Knochen- neubildung mit polychromen Sequenzmarkierungen und Gewichtzu- nahme. Als vergleichbare Kontrollgruppe dienten ihm 7 nicht operier- te Tiere. Diese tierexperimentellen Untersuchungen ermaglichten ihm, so- wohl Implantate und Instrumentarium fortlaufend zu verbessern, als auch die Indikation der intra-und extraoralen Verfahren zu prazisie- ren. Damit wurden Voraussetzungen geschaffen, um diese Methode nach Tumorresektionen beim Menschen anzuwenden. Die beim Tier gepriiften Verankerungselemente fUr den Zahnersatz sindaber beim Menschen noch nicht eingesetzt worden, so da8 das Buch diesbeziig- lich kein abschlie8endes Urteil abgeben will.
