Behavioral Dentistry, Second Edition, surveys the vast and
absorbing topic of the role of behavioral science in the study and
clinical practice of dentistry. An understanding of social sciences
has long been a central part of dental education, and essential for
developing a clinician s appreciation of human behavior as it
affects efficient dental treatment. This book gathers together
contributions from leading experts in each of the major
subspecialties of behavioral dentistry. Its aim is not merely to
provide the student and clinician with a comprehensive review of
the impressive literature or discussion of the theoretical
background to the subject, but also with a practical guide to
adapting the latest techniques and protocols and applying them to
day-to-day clinical practice. This second edition of Behavioral
Dentistry discusses biobehavioral processes, including the
psychobiology of inflammation and pain, oral health and quality of
life, saliva health, and hypnosis in dentistry. The book goes on to
examine anxiety, fear, and dental and chronic orofacial pain, and
then reviews techniques for designing and managing behavior change.
It concludes with a section on professional practice, including
care of special needs, geriatric, and diabetic patients, and
interpersonal communication in dental education.
