"Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are injuries or pain in the human musculoskeletal system, including the joints, ligaments, muscles, nerves, tendons, and structures that support limbs, neck and back. With the ever-increasing precision and complexity involved in dentistry along with an increase in patient expectation, procedures are taking a longer time. Over time muscle imbalances also can develop between the muscles that stabilize and those that move, and the stressed shortened muscle becomes ischemic and painful. the combination of these proliferative and infiltrative processes can lead to tissue changes over time. Awkward postures, forceful exertions, repetitive motions, duration, contact stresses, vibration and psychosocial factors are important risk factors for musculoskeletal disorders among dental professionals. This comprehensive review aims to provide a lead-in, definitions, basic structure of the musculoskeletal system, epidemiology and classification, mechanism of injury, signs and symptoms, diagnosis, risk factors, and management and prevention of work-related musculoskeletal disorders in the dental workplace."

“This book describes and discusses the different restorative options for managing carious lesions in children with primary and mixed dentition. The aim is to provide practitioners with thorough, up-to-date information that will improve their clinical practice. The opening chapters present a comprehensive overview regarding diagnosis of carious lesions, risk assessment, child behavior and development, and behavioral management. The importance of oral health promotion and prevention in controlling lesion progression and maintaining oral health is reviewed. The impact of various factors on clinician decision making is then explained in detail, examples including the type of dentition (primary versus permanent), the clinical and radiographic aspect of the dentine carious lesion (noncavitated or cavitated), and whether the lesion is associated with a developmental defect. Guidance is provided on selection of nonoperative versus operative interventions, and the restorative materials most frequently used in pediatric dentistry are fully described, highlighting their advantages and disadvantages. Readers will also find an informative series of cases, with explanation of the choices in terms of materials and approach.” From publisher's websiteOral Mucosal Immunity and Microbiome / edited by G. N. Belibasakis, G. Hajishengallis, N. Bostanci & M. A. Curtis
Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2019
“The first International Conference on Oral Mucosal Immunity and Microbiome (OMIM) aimed to highlight cutting-edge basic and translational research from an oral immunological and microbiological perspective. Oral diseases with a microbial etiology are the most prevalent chronic diseases of humans. Whilst not life-threatening, they can significantly compromise quality of life, are associated with increased risk for certain systemic diseases, and pose heavy financial burdens to national health systems. Hence, periodontal and peri-implant diseases, dental caries, root canal infections and mucosal infections are significant global public health problems. In this book global experts summarize and discuss the latest progress made in oral mucosal immunity and the oral microbiome. Target audience is basic and/or translational researchers with expertise in host immunity and microbiome research, and interest in oral health and disease. This volume provides a much needed quantum leap in the field, by joining forces to address gaps at the oral mucosal immunity-microbiome cross-talk.” From publisher's website Office-Based Maxillofacial Surgical Procedures / edited by E.

“This book is an evidence-based guide to periodontal root coverage that provides up-to-date information on the etiology of gingival recession defects, prognostic factors relating to the defect, patient, or operator, and surgical techniques. Attention is drawn to critical elements in the execution of surgical procedures that can impact on outcomes. In order to ensure that the guidance reflects the highest level of evidence, the authors have undertaken an exhaustive literature search of the four main electronic databases (MEDLINE/PubMed, Cochrane Library, ScienceDirect, and EBSCOhost) for studies on root coverage, including randomized clinical trials, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and network meta-analyses. The aim is to supply readers with a truly reliable source of knowledge that will help them to navigate this complex field, in which numerous surgical procedures have been described, with great variability in clinical and statistical outcomes. The book will be of value to all who wish to improve their understanding of gingival recession defects and the techniques to achieve root coverage that offer the best long-term results.” From publisher's website

“This well-illustrated book is
an up-to-date guide to orthodontic diagnosis, treatment planning, and treatment
delivery in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The aim is to present
the latest knowledge on the important contribution that orthodontic modalities
can now make in the management of a disorder that has generally been the
preserve of sleep doctors. This book comprises three parts of general
understanding of OSA and medical approaches, orthodontic diagnostic process,
and orthodontic treatment application. In particular, the treatment parts are
subdivided into six chapters depending on the patient’s phenotype and age
groups. The readers will come to realize how many modalities are available
beyond the previously well-known options, and how important orthodontic
contributions are for the treatment of OSA patients. The book will be an
excellent resource providing well-organized diagnostic and therapeutic
protocols from orthodontic point of view and will also be of value to other
practitioners with an interest in OSA.” From publisher's website

“This book is the outcome of a
fruitful, long-standing cooperation between expert radiologists and clinicians,
and explains the most relevant features and technical requirements that are
needed to optimally conduct and assess MR examinations for temporomandibular
joint (TMJ) pathologies. TMJ conditions are increasingly gaining attention, as
the underlying diseases involved can vary considerably and be difficult to
diagnose. Similarly, several imaging sub-specialties (e.g. dental radiology,
neuroradiology, and musculoskeletal radiology) now find themselves dealing with
the temporomandibular joints. The authors provide essential
information on TMJ anatomy, dynamics, function and dysfunction. Correlations
between clinical aspects and MRI findings are discussed and guidance for the
correct interpretation of results is offered. Special findings that are helpful
for differential diagnosis (arthritis, osteochondroma, synovial chondromatosis)
are also examined. Given its extensive and varied coverage, the book offers a
valuable asset for radiologists, dentists, gnathologists, maxillofacial
surgeons, orthodontists and other professionals seeking a thorough overview of
the subject.” From publisher's website
