Tissue Engineering: Applications in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and Periodontics, Second Edition
Edited by
Samuel E. Lynch, Leslie A. Wisner-Lynch,
Myron Nevins, and Robert E. Marx
The contents of this new edition reflect the remarkable scientific advances made since publication of the first edition, hence making this an entirely new book. It presents fundamental concepts and the latest scientific breakthroughs, as well as future directions for research in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. The reader will find information about the basic principles of tissue engineering, use of growth factors in dentistry and orthopedics, gene therapy for periodontics, and application of tissue engineering to clinical practice. The book also features chapters on periodontal regeneration and localized implant site development, including soft tissue applications, vertical ridge augmentation, osseous regeneration, and maxillary sinus floor augmentation. A section on applications for craniofacial reconstruction includes chapters describing procedures for use of growth factors in the treatment of defects following tumor removal and traumatic bone loss, preprosthetic ridge deficiencies, clefts, and temporomandibular disorders. In the final section, orthopedic indications for tissue engineering in the foot and ankle and in tendon healing are addressed. An invaluable, up-to-date resource for practitioners wanting to integrate tissue engineering into their clinical practice, researchers seeking inspiration for new directions, and those new to this fascinating field.

Risk Factors in Implant Dentistry: Simplified Clinical Analysis for Predictable Treatment, Second Edition
Franck Renouard and Bo Rangert
Treatment planning for implant therapy has changed dramatically in recent years as new protocols for techniques such as immediate loading and the use of short implants have evolved. This new edition has been updated to reflect the most important advances in implant dentistry, while still focusing on the patient risk assessment that is essential to successful long-term implant treatment. This book offers a clear, practical methodology for defining and evaluating the impact of various risk factors on individual patients considering therapy. In addition, specific guidelines and checklists are included to give specialists and general practitioners alike increased confidence in discussing implant therapy with their patients. The risk factors and limitations associated with various presentations of edentulism are described in detail, and the safest treatment options are given for each, including surgical protocols and solutions to bone-related problems.

Clinical Success in Immediate Complete Dentures: An Alternative Approach
Michel Pompignoli, Michel Postaire, and Didier Raux
Loss of teeth, especially the maxillary anterior dentition, is traumatic for most patients. This book presents a treatment strategy for delivering a functional complete prosthesis on the day the maxillary anterior teeth are extracted, thus facilitating patient adjustment to the edentulous state.

Prosthetic Rehabilitation
Edited by Giulio Preti
This seminal book articulates the new paradigm in the discipline and practice of prosthodontics, documenting a radical shift in clinical focus away from dental techniques and materials and toward a more biologic and patient-centered approach. Based on their 25 years of collective knowledge and experience, the authors guide readers through each step of this comprehensive approach to patient care. The first half of the book centers on the process of diagnosis, which demands equal consideration of patients’ systemic, psychologic, and functional needs as well as basic knowledge of the other disciplines of dentistry. The second half describes how this approach applies to patients in various states of edentulism and includes an abundant number of case studies. Restorative dentists at all levels will be eager to embrace this innovative approach to patient care.

Management of the Edentulous Patient: A Biological Approach
Edited by Giulio Preti and Gianfranco Gassino
This book, the culmination of more than 30 years of experience in the treatment of edentulous patients, presents a therapeutic approach to the management of the edentulous patient. This treatment philosophy considers both the unique circumstances of individual patients and the universal biological principles associated with edentulism to provide optimal clinical results and improved patient satisfaction. In separate sections, the authors address psychosocial and biological considerations and clinical and technical principles for complete denture therapy. A final section applies the treatment philosophy to overdentures, alveolar ridge reconstruction, implant- supported dentures, and rehabilitation of patients with acquired maxillofacial defects.

Comprehensive Dentistry
Masahide Tsutsui and Teruko Tsutsui
This exceptional work describes and illustrates the long-range (spanning 15 to 23 years) approach to the treatment of highly complex cases by two of Japan’s most respected and influential clinicians. Featuring more than 150 cases, this ambitious book documents the long-term results of the authors’ unique treatment philosophy that combines carefully designed strategies with a comprehensive approach to address patients’ esthetic, prosthetic, orthodontic, endodontic, occlusal, and periodontic needs.

Immediate Loading of Implants
Mithridade Davarpanah and S. Szmukler-Moncler
This clinical manual, a product of worldwide collaboration among experts in the field of implant dentistry, details the surgical and prosthetic prerequisites for clinicians who wish to apply this treatment protocol in qualified patients. Within the context of biologic and biomechanical principles, the authors provide guidelines for applying this protocol in edentulous and partially edentulous patients in both the mandible and maxilla. This clinically oriented manual also addresses questions such as when to use screw-retained or cement-retained provisionals, how to prepare the prosthesis chairside, and when to have the prosthesis prepared in the lab. Ample illustrations, flow charts, and clinical cases appear throughout for enhanced understanding.

The Art of Computer-Guided Implantology
Edited by Alan Rosenfeld and Philippe Tardieu
The authors of this book have pioneered a technique for constructing a surgical guide to direct implant placement that is truly, for the first time, prosthetic-driven. The surgical guide is a resin-based template that is placed in the patient’s mouth during implant surgery, thereby physically transferring the treatment plan to the patient. Employing advanced CT technology, this novel approach to restorative treatment planning greatly simplifies implant delivery and produces more accurate and predictable outcomes.
