Successful application of preservative dentistry principles should lead to maximum conservation of sound tooth structure, minimal use of anesthetic, minimal pain, a reduced risk for endodontic treatment, tooth extraction and an increase in the mean survival time of affected teeth.Restorative idea described here is an innovative, largely painless, minimal intervention approach for restoring lost dental structures, particularly in outreach situations where highly trained dental personnel and facilities needed and clinical equipments are not readily available or affordable. There is worldwide interest in and increasing usage of conservative approach for the restoration of primary and permanent teeth. Present book has described self explanatory, biological friendly, inexpensive, less time consuming approach with higher success rate and minimal complications. This book is useful for students, practitioners, researchers teachers and oral care workers.

The delivery of care for patients missing one or all of their teeth very often requires implants to restore function, esthetics, hard and soft tissue contours, speech, and intraoral health. The delayed occlusal loading protocol, either 1- or 2-stage approach, has been evaluated for more than 30 years by a number of clinical settings and situations. However, in some patient conditions, the delayed healing process can cause psychological, social, and/or functional problems. A full range of treatment options relative to the initial hard and soft tissue healing is available. Immediate restoration of a patient after implant surgery is one of these alternatives. A benefit/risk ratio must be assessed for each patient condition to ascertain whether immediate occlusal loading is a worthwhile alternative. The greater the benefit and/or the lower the risk, the more likely immediate loading is to be considered. Present book is a very useful tool for the students, practitioners, academicians and all those who are concerned with dental implants as the best choice for a missing dentition.

The aim of maxillofacial trauma treatment is the restoration of anatomic form and function with particular care to re-establish the occlusion in cases of traumatitic injuries. Treatment modalities range from intermaxillary fixation (IMF) to rigid internal fixation of the bone fragments. Various types of plating systems have been introduced for fixing fractures and continuity defects of the mandible. Present work discusses the 3-D plates instead of two conventional miniplates. This book is of great interest to students, general practioners, oral and maxillofacial surgeons dealing with maxillofacial trauma treatment and thus provides them with sound knowledge to treat their patient efficiently, with greater success rate and minimal complications.
