This atlas deals with the standard technique used for
reconstructing the mandible and the maxilla - the fibula flap. The
reader will find useful information on all issues that are
important in the surgical procedure, including the use of CAD-CAM
technology (Computer Assisted Technology), bone synthesis and flap
modelling. The editors draw on their 30 years of experience to
provide a step-by-step description of this surgical procedure. With
the help of numerous illustrations, the reader will learn the
technical, functional and aesthetic developments since 1989 when
this technique was first described. Plastic surgeons,
otorhinolaryngologists and oral- and maxillofacial surgeons will
find this book a valuable guide to the sophisticated principles of
jaw reconstruction and how to apply them in their everyday
practice.
This book thoroughly explains the biological background of dental
caries and the formation of carious lesions, providing the reader
with a sound basis for understanding the role and effectiveness of
different therapeutic and preventive measures. Detailed information
is presented on pathogenesis, ultrastructure, and diagnosis. All
aspects of the carious process are covered, including development
of the initial carious lesion limited to the enamel, evolution of
the enamel carious lesion toward a dentin carious lesion,
superficial and deep dentin lesions, and cervical erosions.
Strategies for prevention and dental tissue regeneration are
elaborated and both conventional therapies and minimally invasive
and non-invasive treatment approaches are discussed. A separate

and remineralisation agents. This scientifically focused and
clinically relevant book, written by acknowledged experts in the
field, will appeal to dentists seeking to extend their knowledge as
well as to researchers, dental students, and other dental
professionals.

This book covers the complete field of oral and maxillofacial
pathology - from Addisons disease to Zimmerman-Laband syndrome. The
alphabetically arranged entries, each of which provides a detailed
description of a specific pathological disease pattern, allow
readers to quickly and easily find the information they need.
This concise handbook covers all aspects of glass-ionomer cements,
from the development of these materials in the early 1970s through
to the current state of the art. Their physical, chemical,
biological, and clinical properties are described as well as how
their formulation and usage have evolved over time, giving rise to
newer subcategories of the parent materials. Detailed coverage is
provided on the clinical use of glass-ionomer cements in
restorative and pediatric dentistry and in widely taught and
practiced newer approaches, including atraumatic restorative
treatment and minimal intervention dentistry. The authors are
internationally acclaimed experts who present information in an
easy-to-follow format that will appeal to readers. With the renewed
worldwide quest for substitute materials for the more traditional
amalgam, glass-ionomer cements have the potential for further
development and may play a significant role in future trends.
Written by leaders in the field, this comprehensive step-by-step
guide combines up-to-date clinical and research information that
will help clinicians to advance their theoretical and clinical
knowledge on mandibular implant overdentures. Furthermore, it
describes treatment considerations for geriatric populations,
covering all relevant aspects from physiology to treatment planning
and patient management in the surgical and prosthetic phases. The
phenomenon of aging is a global concern for policy makers,
providers, and the public. Dentists worry especially about the
burden their aging patients face to maintain their oral
health-related quality of life and well-being. Furthermore, older
patients require health care technologies that will enable them to
maintain their oral health. Over the past few decades, mandibular
implant-assisted complete prostheses have attracted the attention
of both patients and clinicians, as research on the biological,
functional, esthetic, and psychosocial benefits has increased. This
book will be of value for all with an interest in the subject..

The only book to cover adhesion in pharmaceutical, biomedical and
dental fields The phenomenon of adhesion is of cardinal importance
in the pharmaceutical, biomedical and dental fields. A few eclectic
examples will suffice to underscore the importance/relevance of
adhesion in these three areas. For example, the adhesion between
powdered solids is of crucial importance in tablet manufacture. The
interaction between biodevices (e.g., stents, bio-implants) and
body environment dictates the performance of such devices, and
there is burgeoning research activity in modifying the surfaces of
such implements to render them compatible with bodily components.
In the field of dentistry, the modern trend is to shift from
retaining of restorative materials by mechanical interlocking to
adhesive bonding. The book contains 15 chapters written by
internationally-renowned subject matter experts and is divided into
four parts: Part 1: General Topics; Part 2: Adhesion in
Pharmaceutical Field; Part 3: Adhesion in Biomedical Field; and
Part 4: Adhesion in Dental Field. The topics covered include:
Theories or mechanisms of adhesion; wettability of powders; role of
surface free energy in tablet strength and powder flow behavior;
mucoadhesive polymers for drug delivery systems; transdermal
patches; skin adhesion in long-wear cosmetics; factors affecting
microbial adhesion; biofouling and ways to mitigate it; adhesion of
coatings on surgical tools and bio-implants; adhesion in
fabrication of microarrays in clinical diagnostics; antibacterial
polymers for dental adhesives and composites; evolution of dental
adhesives; and testing of dental adhesive joints. Audience This
book will be of great interest and considerable importance in
materials science, physics and chemistry and R&D personnel in
pharmaceutical, biomedical and dental arenas as well as practicing
doctors and advanced graduate students carrying out research in
these three disciplines.
