Understanding Dental Caries : From Pathogenesis to Prevention and Therapy / by Michel GoldbergSpringer, 2016.

"The present book focuses most exclusively on the carious lesion, going from the initial pathogenesis of the lesion, mild enamel alteration, to deep dentin lesions, which appear as a major pathology with pulpal irreversible incidences. The therapies and prevention of the enamel decay are analyzed in the fi rst part of this book. After a brief description concentrating on the structure and epidemiology of the diverse forms of enamel alterations, carious lesions are reported. We describe successively enamel softening and analyze the etching pattern of acidic effects on enamel. Doing so, we moved from the superfi cial etching to the initial enamel carious lesion. Bacterial films and acidic biofi lms of the dental plaque lead to the formation of active and/or inactive lesions. The methods used for an accurate diagnosis of the carious lesion were improved during the past few years, and a specific chapter concludes the first part of the book, by reporting new diagnostic methods."

Diseases of the Brain, Head and Neck, Spine 2016-2019 : Diagnostic Imaging / by Jürg Hodler, Rahel A. Kubik-Huch, Gustav K. von Schulthess.

Springer, 2016.

"The International Diagnostic Course in Davos (IDKD) is a unique learning experience for both imaging specialists and clinicians. The course is useful for experienced radiologists, imaging specialists in training, and clinicians wishing to be updated on the current state of the art in all relevant fields of neuroimaging. This course is organ based and disease oriented. It includes imaging of the brain, head, neck, and spine. In addition, there will be satellite courses covering pediatric radiology and nuclear medicine related to neuroimaging in more depth. These courses are also represented in the current Syllabus, as well as our traditional breast imaging satellite course. During the last few years, there have been considerable advances in the field of neuroimaging driven by clinical as well as technological developments. These will be highlighted in the workshops given by internationally known experts in their fi eld. The presentations encompass all the relevant imaging modalities including CT, MRI, hybrid imaging, and others." From preface.

Atlas of temporomandibular joint surgery / by Peter D. Quinn, PD and Granquist EJ.

Wiley-Blackwell, 2015

"We wanted to produce a concise “how‐to” surgical guide for both the novice and experienced surgeon.  Intra-articular and extra-articular open procedures, for the correction of diseases involving the temporomandibular joint, which have been shown to be safe and efficacious are reviewed in detail. We believe that only through clinical trials, and well‐ designed translational research, will we continue to further our understanding of the complexities of this unique articulation. It is our sincere hope that the second edition of this surgical atlas will contribute to this most important scientific endeavor." From preface
