This book seeks to provide the practicing clinician with enough information to help identify or at least narrow down the differential for every common lesion or oral manifestation of disease seen in daily practice as well as what to do about them. Organized by type of lesion, mass, or disease, each pathologic entity presented includes the nature of the disease; its predilections, clinical features, radiographic presentation, differential diagnosis, and microscopic features; and the suggested course of action for the dental practitioner as well as the standard treatment regimen. In keeping with the concise nature of the text, all but the rarest disease entities include at least one photograph to illustrate the clinical condition. This book distils the comprehensive information from Dr Marx and Dr Diane Stern's award-winning pathology reference text (Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology: A Rationale for Diagnosis and Treatment, ed 2 [Quintessence, 2012]) into practical guidelines for restorative and general dentists everywhere.
Although office-based anesthesia administration has been essential in the evolution of outpatient surgery, it is becoming more complex as people live longer and with more comorbid diseases. The purpose of this book is to strengthen the margin of safety of office-based anesthesia administration by helping practitioners determine whether the patients they treat are good candidates for office-based anesthesia. This book is organized into three sections. The first section provides a review of the principles of anesthesia, including the pharmacology of anesthetic agents, local anesthesia, patient monitoring, preoperative evaluation, the airway, and management of emergencies and complications. The major organ systems of the body are reviewed in section two, and the most common comorbid conditions that affect these systems are described in terms of their pathophysiology, diagnosis, management, and anesthesia-related considerations. Section three reviews patient groups that warrant special consideration in the administration of office-based anesthesia, such as geriatric, pediatric, pregnant, and obese patients. Spiral-bound and featuring tabs for quick and easy reference, this important book belongs on the shelf of every clinician who provides anesthesia in the office setting.
In this book, the author expertly describes his techniques for layering restorative materials to more accurately recreate the esthetic qualities found in natural teeth. By separating the enamel layer into two distinct layers-enamel and enamel effects-the author achieves ideal biomimicry. Featuring expert photographs by Carlos Ayala, this book guides the reader through the refractory technique behind the author s restorative creations.

This book is a succinct and accessible compilation of over 30 years of knowledge concerning the Bicon system. It offers not only a history of dental implants and the science of osseointegration but also a vast collection of clinical examples that demonstrate Bicon's capabilities. Bicon implants provide versatile, reliable treatment for a wide variety of clinical situations; they can successfully be placed in atrophic jaws, in sites that would require extensive bone grafting with longer implants, in tissue that has been compromised by medical conditions, and even in adolescent jaws that are still developing. With its proven track record of success, the Bicon system provides treatment opportunities for the benefit of clinicians, technicians, and patients by offering simple, predictable, and effective techniques. With everything from historical and theoretical origins to detailed step-by-step surgical and restorative guides, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in implantology.
This Fascicle on non-neoplastic head and neck diseases is a broad overview of the spectrum of diseases involving the sinonasal tract, oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, neck, salivary glands, and ear and temporal bone. Even with the best of intentions, no single text can cover all the diseases affecting the head and neck. The approach was to focus primarily on the more common non-neoplastic head and neck diseases that the surgical pathologist will confront in their daily practice. The authors hope to have accomplished this goal, providing the reader with a useful and practical text supplemented with high-quality illustrations with which to diagnose non-neoplastic head and neck diseases.

Predictable shade matching in dentistry remains a significant challenge for clinicians in daily practice. Color is an important aspect in the esthetics of teeth and dental restoration fabrication, and color discrepancy can mar restorative results, even when other aspects (marginal fit, occlusion, and morphology) are adequate. This book provides step-by-step protocols to help dental professionals accurately match, communicate, and reproduce the color of teeth and gingiva. These authors demonstrate how to implement color science in simple problem-solving instructions for predictable esthetics in both clinical protocols and laboratory techniques. An extensive presentation of clinical cases is included to illustrate the use of recommended protocols in general practice. An outstanding contribution to the practice and theory of color management in contemporary dentistry.

True clinical prowess is learned in the field: in the actual treatment room. The dental curriculum gives students a basic foundation on which to build true expertise, but the depth and breadth of the dental curriculum doesn't leave much room for courses on dental practice management. How to prepare a composite restoration takes precedence over how to find financial solvency post-graduation. New graduates have little to no knowledge of what it is like to run a business, let alone be the CEO of a small company. Practicing dentists are challenged by the demands of keeping current in the field while managing change in the office. This book will provide guidance on building a practice from the ground up: everyday management, hiring, online strategies, contracts, leases, ethics, law, forming a relationship with a bank, and many more skills for starting and maintaining a successful, profitable, and satisfying practice. Key Features: Includes key strategies for a successful dental practice. Illustrates the pros and cons of partnerships versus going solo. Identifies how to get the most out of your dental team. Discusses financial considerations and planning for transitions.
