Coronal caries: evolving evidence and clinical practice / edited by Joana Christina Carvalho
RK331 .C67 2023Y
Karger 2023
"The disease dental caries and in particular coronal caries is addressed while providing an update and evidence-based knowledge on how researchers, university teachers, oral health professionals and dental students should understand the etiopathogenesis of the caries process and should diagnose, assess risk, take treatment decisions, manage and monitor coronal caries at individual and population levels.
Renowned cariologists from across the world have contributed to this book, encompassing sixteen chapters, all peer reviewed ad hoc by international experts. The chapters were designed as evidence-based reviews on relevant aspects of the state-of-the-art on coronal caries. Individual chapters might express different views about subjects included in this monograph – considered an enrichment of the book rather than a contradiction in terms. Great emphasis was placed on effective and biologically friendly management of coronal caries in daily practice, which includes, under a unique umbrella, both non-operative and operative treatments. Attention was paid to the evaluation of the success of the treatment performed by means of clinical and patient-reported outcomes.
The content of this book is of interest to readers in the field of dentistry." From Google Books.
Cleft orthodontics: a holistic and interdisciplinary approach / edited by Om Prakash Kharbanda
RK521 .C64 2022Y
Thieme 2022
"Cleft Orthodontics: A Holistic and Interdisciplinary Approachis a definitive attempt to bring forth a carefully integrated perspective on the specifics of cleft orthodontics and the underlying philosophy behind a holistic, interdisciplinary approach, which forms the very essence of comprehensive cleft care.
This book is an outcome of rich experience in managing a variety of cases of all ages and complexities, international experience, a deep-rooted passion for cleft care, and research of over four decades. It presents a blend of comprehensive knowledge, procedures, techniques, and contemporary approaches in cleft orthodontics. The book intends to bridge the vast gap in cleft orthodontic training at the postgraduate level, which is distinctly lacking in the curriculum, and fulfil a perceived crucial need for a global, advanced cleft orthodontics training program. It is an excellent companion for practicing cleft orthodontists. The focus on facial growth, records, orthodontic diagnosis, therapy, technique, and protocols is relevant to pertinent readers, whether an orthodontist, cleft plastic surgeon, speech therapist, audiologist, otorhinologist, pedodontist, orthognathic surgeon, researcher, or a cleft care worker."

Molar Incisor Hypomineralisation: New Perceptions / edited by Daniela Rios and Lourdes Santos-Pinto
S. Karger AG 2024
"The book comprehensively discusses Molar Incisor Hypomineralisation (MIH), exploring whether it is a recent phenomenon or a newly recognized issue. It details developmental defects of enamel and the clinical characteristics of hypomineralised enamel. The book addresses the challenges of using scoring systems for MIH assessment and emphasizes the importance of comprehensive patient evaluation, including oral clinical records and behavior assessment. The impact of MIH on quality of life is discussed, alongside the post-eruptive breakdown of demarcated opacities. The prevalence and distribution of MIH and deciduous tooth hypomineralisation are covered, along with systemic and environmental risk factors and genetic theories. The book also addresses hypersensitivity and its management. It questions whether MIH is a risk factor for dental caries and if it is possible to remineralise hypomineralised enamel. The use of fissure sealants for managing hypersensitivity and post-eruptive breakdown in MIH-affected molars is discussed, along with adhesive challenges, esthetic restoration, and restorative possibilities for severely affected molars. Finally, the book highlights the rationale behind the extraction of hypomineralised first molars, the cost-effectiveness of MIH management, and the role of the internet in obtaining and sharing MIH-related information."
