Offering practical tips and expert answers to topics in dentistry,
oral medicine, and patient management, Dental Secrets, 5th Edition
serves as an ideal preparation tool for exams, clinical rotations,
and board certification. A concise, illustrated Q&A format
covers key areas such as oral pathology, radiology, periodontology,
endodontics, restorative dentistry, prosthodontics, orthodontics,
infection control, and oral and maxillofacial surgery. This mini
reference makes it easier to prepare for real-world clinical
scenarios and review for the INBDE and other certification exams!
Dentistry's best "secrets" are shared by experts specializing in
various areas of dentistry and oral medicine. Concise answers to
more than 2,000 questions in dentistry and oral medicine provide
valuable pearls, tips, memory aids, and "secrets" in an
easy-to-read, numbered format. More than 100 illustrations, tables,
and boxes highlight key takeaways. NEW! Brand-new chapter reveals
"secrets" surrounding orofacial pain. NEW! Questions and examples
are prepared with the new INDBE exam content in mind. NEW! A new
group of contributing authors and a new co-editor - all leaders in
the field of dentistry - bring a fresh perspective and valuable
expertise to the text. NEW! An enhanced eBook, included with print
purchase, provides access to all the text, figures, and references,
plus the ability to search, customize content, make notes and
highlights, and have content read aloud. UPDATED! Fresh revisions
with the most current clinical information keep students,
practitioners, and those preparing for recertification up to date
on key advances in the practice of dentistry.
The objective of this book is to catalyze the application of
genomics to the diagnosis and treatment of oral diseases by
comprehensively presenting focused discussions on the current state
of knowledge. The first section book provides basic
information about genetics, genomics and personalized medicine and
the informatical methods available to apply and organize genetic
data so that it has clinical relevance. Recognizing the
genetic robustness of the oral cavity, the introductory
section includes chapters on the oral micro biome and host
genomics and response to infectious agents. The next two
sections contain chapters which describe the genomics of
specific oral diseases and conditions, including the genetic basis
for mechanism and risk of treatment toxicities associated with
cancer therapy and bisphosphonates. Four chapters focus on
gene-based therapies and the pharmacogenomics applied to oral
disease. The final chapter presents a provocative summary
which describes a comprehensive vision of the melding of genomics
to personalized medicine and the potential actionable outcomes that
will likely affect clinical practice in the upcoming years.

The contents of this book will be organized into three sections.
The first section defines the scope, impact and behaviour of cancer
regimen-related toxicities and frames the issue of balancing
treatment success and physiological cost. In the second segment of
the book, the most current thinking around the pathobiology of
specific, common, and representative toxicities is presented by
leading researchers and translational scientists. The final portion
of the book discusses the common biological relationships between
toxicities, bioinformatical approaches to analysing key and common
pathways, and strategies for the development of effective
interventions.
Treatment tolerance is a challenge for most cancer patients, and it
is therefore essential that healthcare professionals (HCP) are
quick to recognize adverse events and implement management
strategies to address them. This pocket book provides an in-depth
guide to the epidemiology, diagnosis and management of oral
mucositis, a common adverse event of chemotherapy.

This new work on oral complications of cancer chemotherapy is
edited by two dentists who have made pioneering contributions in
this previously neglected area. Their efforts have established the
invaluable role of the dentist in oncologic research and cancer
patient management. The editors have collected nine chapters that
will be of interest to dentists and dental hygienists, oncology
nurses, and all physicians treating cancer patients with chemo
therapeutic agents. Background chapters on oral complications of
cancer chemotherapy, the pharmacology of chemotherapeutic agents,
and principles of infection management and prevention set the stage
for more specific chapters focusing on prevention and treatment of
chemotherapy induced oral and dental disorders. Valuable
contributions to the supportive care of the cancer patient are
contained in this book. A full comprehension of this book, coupled
with an appreciation for advances in other areas of supportive
care, such as antiemetic therapy and pain control, will allow all
those involved in cancer treatment to be more successful. Peter H.

Translational Systems Medicine and Oral Disease bridges the gap
between discovery science and clinical oral medicine, providing
opportunities for both the scientific and clinical communities to
understand how to apply recent findings in cell biology, genomic
profiling, and systems medicine to favorably impact the diagnosis,
treatment and management of oral diseases. Fully illustrated
chapters from leading international contributors explore clinical
applications of genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, microbiomics
and epigenetics, as well as analytic methods and functional omics
in oral medicine. Disease specific chapters detail systems
approaches to periodontal disease, salivary gland diseases, oral
cancer, bone disease, and autoimmune disease, among others. In
addition, the book emphasizes biological synergisms across
disciplines and their translational impact for clinicians,
researchers and students in the fields of dentistry, dermatology,
gastroenterology, otolaryngology, oncology and primary care.
