Plastic-esthetic periodontal and implant surgery : a microsurgical approach / by Otto Zuhr
RK667 .I45 Z87 2012
Quintessence 2012
"In this stunning book, the authors blend scientific knowledge and practical experience to provide a comprehensive overview of the principles, indications, and clinical techniques of plastic-esthetic periodontal and implant microsurgery, focusing especially on minimal soft tissue trauma and maximally perfect wound closure. Microsurgery provides clinically relevant advantages over conventional macrosurgical concepts for regenerative and plastic-esthetic periodontal surgery, especially in the all-important esthetic zone. The microsurgical principles and procedures presented in the book are explained step-by-step in meticulously illustrated case examples with large, exquisite images. Each case example also includes an illustrated armamentarium of the materials and instruments necessary for the practical implementation of the microsurgical procedure. The book concludes with instructions on how to manage all major complications for each procedure. Every periodontist will benefit from the techniques and considerations explained in this landmark text." Provided by publisher.

Evidence-Based Caries Prevention / edited by Ece Eden
Springer 2025
"This book, now in an extensively revised second edition, aims to define the etiological factors in dental caries and to guide the clinician towards evidence-based caries prevention methods. The coverage includes a discussion of the active role of the biofilm and the oral environment and emphasizes the multifactorial etiology of dental caries. The opening chapters describe the advanced technological improvements in the early detection and diagnosis of dental caries, highlight the value of caries risk assessment to the patient, and explain the dynamic process of the demineralization–remineralization cycle. Information is presented on the action of fluoride, and the evidence relating to the use, and effectiveness of remineralization agents, with new biomimetic materials are being reviewed. The effects of antimicrobials such as chlorhexidine, ozone, and newly, novel antimicrobial peptides are summarized. The further chapters focus on dietary counseling with information on sweeteners and probiotics, the effectiveness of sealants in caries prevention, and resin infiltration with long follow-up cases. The second edition contains research in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic and the new era of artificial intelligence. The literature on caries prevention through the life course approach is updated. The conclusion chapter of the book, discussing preventive actions in representative cases, now includes the effect of substance abuse on oral health and prevention." Provided by publisher.

Oral Microbiome: Symbiosis, Dysbiosis and Microbiome Interventions for Maintaining Oral and Systemic Health / edited by Naile Dame-Teixeira, Dongmei Deng, Thuy Do
Springer 2025
"Human oral and systemic health exists in a symbiotic relationship with the microbiome. This book explores the dynamics of symbiosis and dysbiosis between the host and the oral microbiome, along with potential treatment strategies that involve modulating the oral microbiome.
Systemic inflammatory diseases can communicate through the oral-gut axis, utilizing signals like cytokines and host defensins, which alter gene expression and, in turn, the composition of the oral microbiome. These alterations can lead to oral health issues such as periodontitis and candidiasis. Moreover, conditions associated with metabolic syndrome — such as obesity, hypertension, hyperglycemia, and dyslipidemia—can worsen oral microbiome dysbiosis. Conversely, the oral microbiota can also affect systemic health.
This book presents evidence on how systemic health conditions impact the oral microbiota and vice versa, highlighting the potential of the oral microbiome as a biomarker for systemic health issues. Looking forward, predictive health models may lead to more personalized healthcare strategies. This volume is a valuable resource for researchers, students, and healthcare professionals interested in the health implications of the oral microbiome." Provided by publisher.

Microvascular Decompression Surgery: Advances and Expansion of Strategy and Techniques / edited by Shi-Ting Li, Jun Zhong, Marc Sindou, Raymond F. Sekula
Springer 2025
"This book provides an essential update on microvascular decompression (MVD) surgery, which has been widely accepted as an effective remedy for cranial nerve hyperexcitability disorders such as hemifacial spasm, trigeminal neuralgia, glossopharyngeal neuralgia, etc. The authors describe in detail those steps of the process that need the most attention in order to achieve an excellent postoperative outcome, including positioning, craniectomy, approach and identification of the culprit, etc. Though it primarily focuses on surgical principles and technical nuances, the book also addresses the intraoperative electrophysiologic monitoring and pathogeneses of hemifacial spasm and trigeminal neuralgia.
The new edition, with a minimal invasive philosophy, advances those recent advances in the treatment of rhizopathy as well as facial palsy. It also addresses the mechanism of these cranial nerve diseases and intraoperative electrophysiological monitoring." Provided by publisher.

Oral Health in People with Disabilities / by Vaibhav Sahni
Springer 2025
"This book aims to collect and present the state of evidence in the field of oral health as it pertains to people living with disabilities. This aspect of dental/oral care has, in recent years, begun to garner the attention it deserves. This is evidenced by the recommendation of the General Dental Council (UK) that Special Care Dentistry, which seeks to improve the oral health of people and societal groups with disability, is to be recognized as a separate specialty in 2005. In light of such developments, it is necessary to build a scientific evidence base to support trainees and courses which attempt to impart education to practitioners and caregivers. A dedicated collection of the current state of evidence will be of help to students and practicing dentists as well as medical practitioners and caregivers to emphasize the importance and application of oral health maintenance in such individuals."
