New Books - October 2013

eBooks

Regenerative dentistry / by Mona K. Marei

"In this book, we review the current knowledge available to regenerate alveolar bone, periodontal structure, and pulp/dentin complex. The book provides researchers with detailed information about development and functional characteristics of the dental unit with detailed protocols covering a comprehensive range of various approaches to engineer dental tissues: to use isolated cells or cell substitutes as cellular replacement, to use acellular biomaterials capable of inducing tissue regeneration, and/or to use a combination of cells, biomaterial and growth factors. We are well aware, with the concept changes in the field toward in-vitro biomimetics of in-vivo tissue development. The theoretical frame work integrating these concepts of developmental biology and developmental engineering is yet to be emphasized and implemented." Taken from publisher description


Emerging nanotechnologies in dentistry: materials, processes, and applications / by Karthikeyan Subramani and Waqar Ahmed

"This book brings together an international team of experts from the fields of nanomaterials, biomedical engineering and dentistry, to cover the new materials and techniques with potential for use intra-orally or extra-orally for the restoration, fixation, replacement, or regeneration of hard and soft tissues in and about the oral cavity and craniofacial region. New dental nanotechnologies include the use of advanced inorganic and organic materials, smart and biomimetic materials, tissue engineering and drug delivery strategies." Taken from publisher description






Fluorine and health: molecular imaging, biomedical materials and pharmaceuticals / by Alain Tressaud, Günter Haufe

"Fluorine and Health presents a critical multidisciplinary overview on the contribution of fluorinated compounds to resolve the important global issue of medicinal monitoring and health care. The involved subjects are organized in three thematic parts devoted to Molecular Imaging, Biomedical Materials and Pharmaceuticals. Initially the key-position of partially fluorinated low molecular weight compounds labelled either with the natural 19F-isotope for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) or labelled with the radioactive [18F]-isotope for Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is highlighted ." Taken from publisher description






Books

Atlas of cone beam imaging for dental applications / by Dale A. Miles.
Chicago : Quintessence Pub., c2013. 2nd ed.




Chichester, West Sussex, UK : Wiley-Blackwell, 2013.


"The book includes chapters describing epidemiology, diagnosis and differential diagnosis, symptoms, clinical characteristics and consequences, and aetiology of dental phobia, as well as intra-oral injection phobia. It also covers dental treatment of fearful children and the use of conscious sedation and other pharmacological methods to supplement psychological treatment. The core of the book is built on research from Scandinavia, the world leader in dental phobia research, and the editors are experts in clinical psychology and dentistry." Taken from book back cover




Early-age orthodontic treatment / by Aliakbar Bahreman.
Hanover Park, IL : Quintessence, c2013.

"This book is a compendium of significant and pertinent information related to early-age orthodontic treatment, a subject that seems to have evolved into one of considerable controversy, with as many orthodontists expressing a negative reaction as a positive reaction to its benefits. Dr. Bahreman is a believer in early-age orthodontic treatment, and he expresses some cogent arguments founded in years of experience in practice and teaching to back up his beliefs." Taken from Foreword, x.

Edinburgh : Churchill Livingstone/Elsevier, 2013. 3rd ed.

"This highly successful series has been specially designed to explore readers' knowledge through an effective process of understanding, learning and self-assessment. This approach allows students to identify their strengths, weaknesses and knowledge gaps and take rapid steps to correct any shortfalls and strengthen core knowledge." Taken from back cover

The secret world of library jargon

Like any profession, librarians and library techs love to use professional jargon. Sometimes we let this jargon slip out when we talk to our library users about our resources. Here we have compiled a list of some of the common library jargon that we sometimes use and explain what it means in normal speak.

Facets or faceted search: No, these are not kitchen water taps but a fandangle way of saying the ‘characteristics’ of an item. We use these characteristics to put items into categories. We might describe the facets of different breeds of dogs such as size (small, medium, large) or coat colour (golden, brown, brindle) just as in the library catalogue we describe the different facets of library items such as location (on line, Dentistry Library, Downsview) or subject (oral radiology, anaesthesia, occlusion). When searching the library catalogue we can use these facets to narrow or filter our search to find items that meet our needs.

Controlled vocabulary (or sometimes called an ontology) : Did your mother ever tell you to watch your Ps and Qs or she would wash your mouth out with soap? That is one type of controlled vocabulary, but different from the one we are talking about in the library.  In libraries, controlled vocabulary is a standardised terminology used to index things such as journal articles in databases. Using controlled vocabulary in databases (where it is available) helps you to increase the accuracy in which you can find articles.  A common controlled vocabulary used in health sciences databases is MeSH or Medical Subject Headings. MeSH is used to index articles in MEDLINE which can be searched using PubMed or Ovid.

Library of Congress call number: The Library of Congress Classification system, sometimes “LC” for short, is a way of describing the subject of a book using an alpha-numeric code. You can use the alpha-numeric code to help you locate which shelf in the library an item is stored.  The start of the call number describes the subject of the book.  The reason that the majority of our books at the Dentistry Library start with RK is because this is the code for ‘dentistry’. Visit the on line library learning center for a description on the anatomy of the Library of Congress call number and how to read a call number and find an item on a shelf.

Dewey Decimal Classification System: Okay so everyone has heard of this famous librarian named Melvil Dewey, but what is the Dewey Decimal thing exactly? Like the Library of Congress Classification System, the Dewey Decimal Classification System is used by libraries to code library items by subject type and make them discoverable by library staff and patrons (i.e. it tells you where the item is on the shelf).  Here at the Dentistry Library, we do not use this system but instead classify our items using the Library of Congress Classification System. 

Boolean operators: Boolean what? Simply put, Boolean is a language that is used for communications between people and computers. Boolean operators are words (AND, OR and NOT) that people can use to tell computers how to find the books or articles they need.  Using Boolean operators can help increase the accuracy or recall of a search. These can be used when you search article databases to find articles on a topic of study. OR can be used to increase your search recall (i.e. you get more articles).  Doing a search for “cats OR dogs” should give you a list of items that use the word cat or dog.  You can use AND to increase the accuracy of your search (i.e. you get fewer articles but they are more closely related to your topic).  Doing a search for “cats AND dogs” should give you a list items that contain both the word cat and dog.  You can also use NOT to increase the accuracy of your search.  Searching “cat NOT dog” will a list of items with the word cat but will remove from that list any items that also mention the word dog.

Interlibrary loan: Interlibrary loan, also often referred by the acronym ILL has nothing to do with being sick or taking ill. It is just a fancy way of saying that you are borrowing a book from a non-University of Toronto Library. You can also get journal articles by interlibrary loan.  As a further point to confuse you, the system used to coordinate interlibrary loans is called RACER.  So if a librarian is telling you to request a book from RACER they are simply telling you to go to this web page to make a request to borrow an item from another library (ILL!). The ILL form on RACER can be confusing, so if you are not sure what you are doing don't make yourself ILL trying to figure it out on your own, just come to Service Desk and the Dentistry Library and we will be happy to help you out!

eJournals, eBooks, eResources: eEeeeeek! The small “e” at the front of these words means that these resources can be accessed electronically, or on line.  Faculty, students and staff of Faculty of Dentistry can view University of Toronto electronic resources on campus or from home.  From home you will be prompted to sign in with your UTORid and password (the same user name and password you use for the U of T mail) to verify that you are affiliated with UofT and allowed to access these resources.  To help you find dentistry eBooks we have set up a web page here with links to dentistry eBooks in the U of T catalogue listed by subject.

Serials and Periodicals: Serials (not cereals – remember, no eating in the library!) and periodicals are words that are used interchangeably but there are subtle nuances between the two. Periodicals are a collection of articles (by one or more authors) that are published at regular intervals under a specific title (e.g. British Journal of Oral Surgery, Canadian Journal of Dental Hygiene, Dental Update).  Periodicals can be journals or magazines. The articles found within periodicals also known as journal articles, scientific articles or sometimes even scientific papers. A list of journals the Dentistry Library subscribes to can be found here.  Periodicals are stored in two locations within the Dentistry Library, the Current Periodicals (the most recent issues) are found in the Reading Room; whereas, the Bound Periodicals (issues from previous years) are located near the Service Desk. The Dentistry Library does not have very many serials so this term might not be so important for you to learn. For those of you who are interested though, series are a group of books with different titles but all related in that they are part of the same series (e.g. Harry Potter, the Color Atlas of Dental Medicine, The Lord of the Rings).  Serials are not necessarily published with regular intervals.
 
We hope this list has helped to demystify some often used library jargon! If you have any questions about other library words, or just questions in general, please visit us at the Service Desk!

Wiley-Blackwell, 2011.


"Practical Osseous Surgery in Periodontics and Implant Dentistry' is a step-by-step manual that guides readers through osseous surgery procedures for treating periodontal issues as well as for ensuring proper anchorage of dental implants" Taken from Publisher Description

Oral biology: molecular techniques and applications / edited by G.J. Seymour, M.P. Cullinan, and N.C.K. Heng.
Humana Press, c2010.


"This changing definition of disease means that today’s undergraduate or graduate
student in dentistry (and its related fields) must be in a position not only to acquire new
knowledge in the future but also to be able to evaluate the information and apply it in a
clinically relevant setting. This naturally positions oral biology as an integral part of any
dentally related professional’s repertoire of knowledge.
There are as many topics in oral biology as there are the number of sites and microenvironments within the oral cavity. Therefore, it is impossible to cover all aspects in a single volume. Nevertheless, we believe we have compiled a selection of molecular methods and techniques, albeit optimized for particular applications, which can be adapted to a particular organism or area of interest." Taken from Preface, v.

New Books - August 2013

eBooks

Springer, c2010.

Etiology and Pathogenesis of Periodontal Disease represents a new concept in periodontology with its pronounced focus on understanding through knowledge rather than presenting the present valid answers. Connections between the diseases in the periodontium and general health are described in detail. Even if periodontal disease is certainly not a generally accepted cause of death, periodontal treatment may obviously save lives.” Taken from publisher

Springer, c2011.

“Periodontal diseases are the major cause of tooth mortality in many industrialized countries and most developing nations. The significance of microorganisms in the development of virtually all types of periodontal disease is indisputable. This book is an encyclopedic collection of data from scientific papers and textbooks that form a sound basis for a thorough understanding of the antibiotics and antiseptics used in periodontal therapy. The prophylactic, systemic, and topical uses of antibiotics are discussed in detail, identifying the indications, advantages, disadvantages, and efficacy of each approach and regimen. The use of antiseptics is also carefully examined, with particular attention to the merits of different delivery methods and oral hygiene agents.” Taken from publisher.

Saunders, 2013.

“Covering treatment planning to restoration, Principles and Practice of Single Implant Restorations is the first book specifically designed to train Endodontists and General Dentists for a single tooth implant and restorations.

Books

Elsevier, 2013.

"It is essential that dentists have a sound understanding of the principles underlying the selection and use of the materials they rely upon for restorative procedures. Rapid changes in material science, however, ensure that the typical lifespan of a dental material can be as little as three years before it is superseded by another one. As such, all practitioners need to be constantly up-to-date with developments to be able to assess the potential of new materials- a situation that requires a thorough understanding and appreciation of the composition, chemistry and properties of the materials they work with." Taken from back cover.

Informa Healthcare, 2012.

"Dental implants that integrate with bone are a very popular option for tooth replacement; they are, however, very demanding for the practitioner to plan and implement properly, and although there has been technical consolidation between different systems there are still important considerations remaining between them. This new edition of the best-selling guide to current implant systems considers the practical features that a clinician need to know for successful treatment planning, surgical placement, prosthodontics and long-term maintenance." Taken from back cover.

Wiley-Blackwell, 2013.
