Diseases and Conditions in Dentistry: An Evidence-Based Reference is the ideal, one-stop guide for dentistry clinicians to keep at their side. Provides a quick reference for the busy clinician covering diseases and conditions in endodontics, periodontics, prosthodontics and restorative dentistry Offers identically formatted chapters following the same clear and concise layout with detailed clinical cases and evidence-based discussions Features a companion website with additional clinical photographs, radiographs, and case notes

Comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to all aspects of dental implant maintenance, based on treatment outcomes Saving Dental Implants offers a complete reference to all factors in long-term success in dental implants. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, each chapter is written by leading experts in the field. The book examines treatment outcomes, provides advice on how to manage implants for long-term success, and supports clinicians in avoiding and managing peri-implant complications. The text presents global treatment approaches and concepts—established philosophies in practice for the last 20 years—and also looks to possible future management strategies. Designed to help clinicians apply the concepts in practice, the text also covers the pros and cons of implant therapy and the specifics of pre-implant diagnostics, treatment methodology, prosthetic concepts, and further maintenance visits. Featuring hundreds of high-quality color photographs to support the text, Saving Dental Implants covers topics such as: The anatomic features of peri-implant tissues, including clinical and histological information, and an evaluation of the studies using different implant systems and prosthetic concepts Diagnostic tools and procedures to make the proper diagnosis of peri-implant conditions, and microbiota of the peri-implant tissues and diagnostic opportunities for bacterial diagnosis Nanoparticles found in the peri-implant tissues from the implant placement, their loading, and their impact on peri-implant diseases The significance, applications, and limitations of bone grafting techniques to optimize the shape of the alveolar ridge New technologies for better treatment of peri-implant complications Examining the most current information and research on diagnosing, preventing, and managing peri-implant complications, Saving Dental Implants is a must-have practical reference for dental practitioners, specialists, and students who wish to help patients reach the best functional and esthetic outcomes.

This clinically oriented book covers all aspects of the evidence-based decision making process in multidisciplinary management of the natural dentition. The book opens by clarifying the principles of evidence-based decision making and explaining how these principles should be applied in daily practice. Individual chapters then focus specifically, and in detail, on endodontic, periodontal, and prosthetic considerations, identifying aspects that need to be integrated into decision making and treatment planning. Evidence-based decision making with regard to preservation of the natural tooth versus extraction and implant placement is then discussed, and a concluding chapter examines likely future trends in dentistry and how they may affect clinical decision making. The authors include leading endodontists, periodontists, and prosthodontists. Given the multidisciplinary and comprehensive nature of the book, it will be relevant and interesting to the entire dental community.

Periodontics is a dental specialty that encompasses the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases affecting the supporting and surrounding tissues of the teeth (ie: periodontal tissues) or their substitutes, such as dental implants (ie: peri-implant tissues) and is also concerned with the maintenance of the health, function and aesthetics of these structures and tissues. Periodontal diseases are multifactorial infectious diseases wherein the presence of periodontopathogenic species seems to play a key role in the etiopathogenesis and results in a progressive loss of the hard and soft tissue around the teeth; which if left untreated, ultimately leads to the loosening and subsequent loss of teeth. Similarly diseases affecting peri-implant tissues, if not managed and treated properly results in an implant failure. However, the nature and severity of periodontal and peri-implant diseases depend on the patients oral hygiene, interaction between the bacterial agent, the environment and the host defence mechanisms, and the presence of various risk elements for periodontal/peri-implant diseases like genetic factors, diabetes, smoking, etc.Periodontal disease itself can also act as a potential risk factor for several systemic conditions and may significantly enhance the probability for certain systemic diseases or alter their natural course. Fortunately, periodontal and peri-implant diseases are largely preventable and treatable conditions; and their successful long-term management and treatment requires a treatment strategy that integrates non-surgical, surgical and supportive periodontal/peri-implant therapy along with patient motivation and reinforcement of excellent oral hygiene measures.
