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.

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science, however, ensure that the typical lifespan of a dental material can be as little as three years before it is superseded by another one.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."

The Hunger Games by Susan Collins

You’ve seen the movie, now read the book!

“In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the other districts in line by forcing them to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight-to-the-death on live TV.

One boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and sixteen are selected by lottery to play. The winner brings riches and favor to his or her district. But that is nothing compared to what the Capitol wins: one more year of fearful compliance with its rule. Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives alone with her mother and younger sister, regards it as a death sentence when she is forced to represent her impoverished district in the Games.

But Katniss has been close to dead before — and survival, for her, is second nature. Without really meaning to, she becomes a contender. But if she is to win, she will have to start making choices that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.” – book description from Amazon



Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail by Cheryl Strayed

The first book selected for Oprah’s Book Club 2.0!

“A powerful, blazingly honest memoir: the story of an eleven-hundred-mile solo hike that broke down a young woman reeling from catastrophe—and built her back up again.

At twenty-two, Cheryl Strayed thought she had lost everything. In the wake of her mother's death, her family scattered and her own marriage was soon destroyed. Four years later, with nothing more to lose, she made the most impulsive decision of her life: to hike the Pacific Crest Trail from the Mojave Desert through California and Oregon to Washington State—and to do it alone. She had no experience as a long-distance hiker, and the trail was little more than “an idea, vague and outlandish and full of promise.” But it was a promise of piecing back together a life that had come undone.

Strayed faces down rattlesnakes and black bears, intense heat and record snowfalls, and both the beauty and loneliness of the trail. Told with great suspense and style, sparkling with warmth and humor, Wild vividly captures the terrors and pleasures of one young woman forging ahead against all odds on a journey that maddened, strengthened, and ultimately healed her.” - book description from Amazon

Get sharp: Nonsurgical periodontal instrument sharpening / by Marisa Roncati
Quintessenza Edizioni, 2011.

Moreover, in teaching students and colleagues how to sharpen their own instruments, I still encountered difficulties. I feel that learning the techniques for sharpening and their application in daily practice must be supported by illustrations and schematics that can simplify the student's understanding of the task."
