Cleft lip and palate: diagnosis and management / Samuel Berkowitz, editor.

D 617.6761 C6 B

Cleft Lip and Palate: Diagnosis and Management is an unparalleled review of treatment concepts in all areas of cleft involvement presented by an international team of experienced clinicians. A unique feature of the book is that it largely consists of longitudinal facial and palatal growth studies of dental casts, photographs, panorexes, and cephalographs from birth to adolescence. Throughout the discussion of growth and treatment concepts, the importance of differential diagnosis in treatment planning is underscored. The underlying argument is that all of the treatment goals – good speech, facial aesthetics, dental occlusion, and psychological development – may be realized without the need to sacrifice one for another.

In this third edition, further successful physiological treatment protocols are considered and the occurrence and prevention of relapses after some surgical treatments are discussed; again, all solutions are backed up by follow-up records. Additional topics not previously covered include strategies for coping with psychological effects on patients and intra-team conflict, the excellent clinical work being undertaken in Asia, and future multicenter palatal growth studies. It is the editor’s hope that, by drawing on the wealth of experience contained in the book, clinicians will be better able to evaluate current treatment practices and concepts and to improve planning of their own treatment procedures.

Implant therapy: the integrated treatment plan / Mauro Merli.

D 617.674 M5

The current emphasis on patient-centered medicine necessitates revision of the diagnostic and therapeutic process toward an integrated treatment plan that promotes collaboration among the specialties as well as the patient’s active participation. This text describes how to implement such a treatment plan for patients requiring implant treatment in an area of esthetic and/or functional interest. It begins by assessing the potential risk factors, then delves into the process of constructing a diagnosis, and then describes stepwise many of the surgical procedures currently in use.

ITI treatment guide / editors, D, Buser, U. Belser, D. Wismeijer.

D 617.674 I8 B

The sixth volume of the ITI Treatment Guide series provides clinical recommendations for implant-supported prosthodontic treatments in patients with multiple missing adjacent teeth in the esthetic zone. The authors review the current literature before detailing the treatment alternatives and procedures based on the scientific and clinical evidence. Special emphasis is given to preoperative evaluation, treatment planning, and assessment of risk factors for the complex indications of the esthetic zone. Descriptions of the surgical and prosthodontic procedures include step-by-step clinical case presentations. Complications of various etiologies are also highlighted with preventive measures as well as clinical cases that document their management.

The 14^th International Academy of Periodontology Biennial Congress will be held at the Shenzhen Grand Haytt Hotel, China from 31 May to 1 June 2013. The meeting is in association with the Faculty of Dentistry, the University of Hong Kong and the Guangdong Provincial Stomatological Hospital.

Sixteen internationally renowned speakers will deliver keynote address in the 2013 congress; poster abstracts will be accepted for viewing and to be scrutinized by experts in the relevant fields; further, pre-meeting hands-on sessions in Periodontology and Implant Dentistry will also be organized for practicing clinicians.

With new photographic techniques including ring flash and bilateral flash, new cases on composite resin restoration and porcelain inlays, and new techniques such as restoring the anterior alveolar ridge deficiency using stratified porcelain buildup, this second edition of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry explores many facets of esthetic and restorative dentistry, including biomaterials, laboratory technology, operative dentistry, prosthodontics, periodontics, and implant dentistry. Each chapter begins with a materials science introduction to the topic, followed by clinical applications and procedures illustrated with exquisite images.

Oral implantology surgical procedures checklist / Louie Al-Faraje.

D 617.674 A38 o

Just as checklists used in the aviation industry dramatically reduce the incidence of human error and provide higher safety and success margins, implant surgery should start with a thorough presurgery check by the surgeon. Surgeons have relied solely on memory for these checks, but the complexity of the information regarding the procedures of today makes it difficult to properly deliver it to patients in a consistent, correct, and safe manner. This checklist booklet outlines the proper sequence for surgical procedures, details the setups for necessary instruments, provides postoperative instructions, and even includes a clear roadmap to follow in emergency scenarios that might be encountered during or after surgery. It offers the implant surgeon a standardized approach to ensure that surgical procedures run smoothly and that an extra margin of safety is respected at all times. A built-in collapsible stand facilitates viewing in the treatment room. Washable pages make this book usable even in sterile environments, and when written on in ballpoint pen, the ink can be easily erased with an alcohol wipe.

Title: Stem cell approach for maxillary sinus grafting in atrophic maxilla

Abstract:

Maxillary sinus grafting is required in atrophic maxilla to facilitate dental implant placement.  Autogenous bone is a standard grafting material but bone harvesting procedure is traumatic to patients.  Bone substitute is used as an alternative but bone formation is limited.  Mesenchymal stem/stomal cells (MSC) supplement to promote bone regeneration was introduced to provide a cellular-based tissue engineering method.

This study aimed to evaluate the bone regeneration capacity of bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) in maxillary sinus grafting.  Quantitative and qualitative analysis of bone marrow aspirate was performed before and after concentration. Animal study in rabbits’ maxillary sinus was carried out to compare 4 grafting materials.   A pilot human study was also conducted.  The results showed that bone marrow aspirate can be concentrated by a one-step centrifuge method with confirmation of the presence of MSCs having differentiation capabilities.  In addition, BMAC transplantation is a worthy therapeutic option for bone grafting.
