This book has long been awaited by professionals - a complete, modern, practical and usable book on the application of homoeopathy to oral medicine, general dentistry and oral surgery. It will not be out of place on the bookshelf or in the office of any dental surgeon, committed homoeopathist or medical doctor. The first and lesser part of the book is a basic introduction to the principles of homoeopathy. The second and greater part is in encyclopaedic form, being a combined therapeutic index of orofacial disease and materia medica of virtually all the therapeutic substances mentioned in the text. It also constitutes a self-tuition course in dental homoeopathy. Appendix One suggests the structure for an initial dental pharmacy in clinical practice, and Appendix Two contains a modern view of the important matter of mercury toxicity.

Some are content with driving fast cars; others want to know how they work. In this intriguing book for students, practitioners and pharmacists of all levels, readers will find nearly everything they need to know about the nuts, bolts and cogs of homeopathy. Adhering to a philosophy that pure empirical facts are meaningless without sound theory to bind them, Dr Colin Lessell reveals the physiochemical nature of remedies, the way they exert their effect on the living organism, the mechanics and history of their production, and the principles by which their selection and dosages are determined. Many of the topics in this book are only barely touched on in the most formal courses, making it a true companion for anyone who wishes to have a more profound knowledge of homeopathy, or who just wants to make sense of the infinitesimal.

Fully revised and updated to reflect changes in clinical practice, legislation and regulation, this groundbreaking textbook intertwines the subjects of dental hygiene and dental therapy to provide a comprehensive resource for students of these courses, as well as those studying new degree programmes in oral health science. The Clinical Textbook of Dental Hygiene and Therapy is designed as a dedicated companion text for these disciplines and should enable students to streamline their primary reading. Following course developments and an expansion in the remits of both hygienists and therapists, this book is written not only for students, but also as a revision aid for those already in practice. Interactive questions on a companion website allow the reader to test their knowledge and understanding. The opening section of the book is dedicated to relevant oral sciences: anatomy; histology; embryology; oral medicine and pathology. The clinical section contains fourteen chapters which provide coverage of the core syllabus for dental hygiene and therapy. The final section is dedicated to primary dental care services and law, ethics and professionalism.

'Complementary Therapies in Dental Practice' looks at the various types of complementary therapies that can be used in dentistry, outlining the ways in which these therapies can be used in everyday dental practice or, if more appropriate, in which direction a dental practitioner can refer a patient. As time goes on, more and more dental practitioners are referring patients to specialists in alternative therapies. The aim of this book is to make more people aware that alternative therapies have a place in the practice of dentistry.
