Development of the human dentition / by F.P.G.M. van der Linden
Quintessence Publishing, 2016

"For almost three decades, Dr. van der Linden's classic text, Development of the Human Dentition, has been the international standard reference in its field. Now, he has updated those concepts in a new edition. Starting with tooth formation and the development of the deciduous dentition, the author systematically takes the reader through the transition to the permanent dentition and through the aging of the dentition. Emphasis is placed on the relationships among the development of the dentition, the growth of the face, and functional factors. Subsequently, the development of orthodontic malocclusions is presented, followed by the effects of untimely loss of deciduous teeth." Taken from back cover

"This proceeding from the 42nd Annual Moyers Symposium and 40th Annual International Conference on Craniofacial Research (the Presymposium) contains clinical reports, original research and review articles written by international experts in interdisciplinary therapy with the goal of imparting current knowledge in this important and challenging area. The manuscripts describe the optimal management of complex interdisciplinary cases through coordinated teamwork and contemporary clinical methods, the caveats and management of periodontal defects, tissue engineering to replace lost and missing tissues, and expediting tooth movement. Besides discussing contemporary diagnostic and therapeutic approaches, the chapters present the uses of new technologies including 3D imaging in facilitating optimal and efficient outcomes for these patients. I believe that the readers will find the materials informative, timely and of practical value." Taken from Preface, vii

A casebook in interprofessional ethics : a succinct introduction to ethics for the health professions / by J.P. Spike and R. Lunstroth

"The first ethics casebook that integrates clinical ethics (medical, nursing, and dental) and research ethics with public health and informatics. The book opens with five chapters on ethics, the development of interprofessional ethics, and brief instructional materials for students on how to analyze ethical cases and for teachers on how to teach ethics. In today’s rapidly evolving healthcare system, the cases in this book are far more realistic than previous efforts that isolate the decision-making process by professions as if each is not embedded in a larger context that involves healthcare teams, hospital policies, and technology. The central claim of this book is that ethics is an important common ground for all of the health professions. Furthermore, when we recognize that our professions converge upon a common goal we will find less conflict and more pleasure in working together.

Written in a highly accessible style, without jargon, to make it usable by students in the medical professions with no previous ethics background

The only text to include medical, dental hygiene, and nursing ethics, and use cases that incorporate different professions interacting in cases

Includes informatics and organizational systems issues that are usually omitted/overlooked in ethics texts" Provided by the online publisher

Handbook of bioceramic and biocomposites / edited by I. Vasile Antoniac

"This handbook describes several current trends in the development of bioceramics and biocomposites for clinical use in the repair, remodelling, and regeneration of bone tissue. Comprehensive coverage of these materials allows fundamental aspects of the science and engineering to be seen in close relation to the clinical performance of dental and orthopaedic implants. Bioceramics and biocomposites appear to be the most dynamic area of materials development for both tissue engineering and implantable medical devices. Almost all medical specialties will continue to benefit from these developments, but especially dentistry and orthopaedics. In this Handbook, leading researchers describe the use of bionanomaterials to create new functionalities when interfaced with biological molecules or structures. Also described are technologies for bioceramics and biocomposites processing in order to fabricate medical devices for clinical use. Another important section of the book is dedicated to tissue regeneration with development of new matrices. A targeted or personalized treatment device reduces drug consumption and treatment expenses, resulting in benefits to the patient and cost reductions for public health systems.

This authoritative reference on the state-of-the-art in the development and use of bioceramics and biocomposites can also serve as the basis of instructional course lectures for audiences ranging from advanced undergraduate students to post-graduates in materials science and engineering and biomedical engineering.

These changes can include unusual extraction patterns, bracket angulations, treatment timing, and substitution of selected teeth. The most exciting thing about this book is that it demonstrates how "adaptable" the dentoalveolar hard and soft tissues can be under certain conditions [...] Hopefully this book can give the reader a new perspective in regard to the treatment of certain malocclusions and the potential stability possible for each."

Color atlas of dental medicine: orthodontic diagnosis / by T. Rakosi, I. Jonas, and T.M. Graber
Thieme Medical Publishers Inc., 1993
Stacks RK522 .R34313 1993

"This volume is a handy, illustrated manual covering orthodontic diagnostic techniques. Modern orthodontics includes a series of different types of treatment requiring precise diagnostic techniques in order to produce a positive outcome. This atlas includes the examination methods required for everyday treatment. Apart from the conventional examination methods, i.e., clinical and radiographic examinations and cast analysis, three aspects which are often neglected are describes in detail:

Growth of the facial skeleton. Types of treatment which promote or guide growth are often employed as a part of orthodontic therapy - assuming that there is still a potential for growth - with the intention of harmonizing the various components of the facial skeleton. In order to control these natural processes artificially, a precise understanding of them is required
Etiology of the malocclusion. Causative therapy is always desirable and promising. The various types of causative therapy and the elimination of the causes depend on the etiologic assessment.
Functional analysis. Analysis of function is a part of the clinical examination. If one considers that on the one hand many malocclusions are a result of dysfunctions and, on the other hand, a variety of methods are available for treating dysfunctions, functional analysis must be taken seriously.

This color atlas should enable the operator to assess the malocclusion and simplifies selection of the method of treatment for individual cases. It provides an overview and serves as a reference book for use in daily practice." Taken from Preface, viii
