Marketing implant dentistry : attract and influence patients to accept your dental implant treatment plan / by M. Hines
"A large percentage of skilled dental professionals lack the tools and comfort level required to market themselves and their dental implant practices effectively As a consequence, these dental professionals miss several opportunities to help patients and grow their business. Even those who recognize the need for marketing often don't have the experience or training to do so effectively. Marketing Implant Dentistry meets this need by giving dentists the tools to better market and promote their practices and to gain case acceptance."
This book "presents proven approaches for attracting dental implant patients and demonstrates the use of successful communication skills, including verbal and visual aids. This book details multiple examples of patient friendly and professional letters for use in targeting both new implant patients and professional referral sources. Readers will learn the benefits of adopting non-traditional approaches such as hosting patient education seminars, as well as cultivating professional relationships with the medical community (physicians) for the purposes of generating untapped referral relationships. Best practices in internet and social media marketing, specific to implant dentistry, are also demonstrated so practices can make the most out of these low-cost opportunities."

Advances in bioceramics and porous ceramics VIII : a collection of papers presented at the 39th International Conference on Advanced Ceramics and Composites / edited by R.J. Narayan and P. Colombo
Book Series: Ceramic Engineering and Science Proceedings
"This issue contains the proceedings of the “Next Generation Bioceramics” and “Porous Ceramics: Novel Developments and Applications” symposia of the 39th International Conference and Exposition on Advanced Ceramics and Composites (ICACC’15), which was held from January 25–30, 2015 in Daytona Beach, Florida, USA.
[...] The “Next Generation Bioceramics” symposium addressed several areas associated with processing, characterization, modeling, and applications of bioceramic materials. Topics covered by the symposium included processing of advanced bioceramic materials; bioinspired and biomimetic ceramic materials; biomineralization; self-assembly of bioceramic materials; inorganic-organic composite materials; nanostructured bioceramic materials; mechanical properties of bioceramic materials; in vitro and in vivo characterization of bioceramic materials; bioceramic materials for drug delivery; bioceramic materials for gene delivery; bioceramic materials for sensing; and bioceramic materials for dental applications.
[...] The symposium on porous ceramics was very well attended, with presentations given by people from academia and industry, confirming that the topic is of great interest and that continuous progress is being made both in university labs and R&D industrial facilities. In particular, researchers are striving to expand the range of porous architectures achievable, by devising novel and improved processing methods, the type of materials being produced with high levels of porosity (e.g. geopolymers), and the applications for highly porous ceramics. At the same time, advances in characterization techniques, such as Computed Tomography coupled with modeling, as well as in Additive Manufacturing-based fabrication techniques are increasingly demonstrating to be a key factor in the development of ceramic components with optimized porous architecture and properties."

Pnin / by V. Nabokov 
"From the beginning we created this book with the busy clinician in mind. It was our goal to produce a reference text that would be easy to read and understand and would present effective emergency management in a succinct, organized sequence. Beneficial step-by-step treatment guidelines and algorithms outline the steps and decision-making process for each emergency medical situation. In addition, we identified contributors with significant experience dealing with medical emergencies as hospital-based dental practitioners. Each chapter focuses on a distinct physiological system and the common related emergencies that practitioners may encounter. We think this book will be an ideal clinical reference because it is accessible and presents a systematic approach of how to manage specific medical emergencies." Taken from Preface, vii
