Best practices in endodontics : a desk reference / edited by R.S. Schwartz and V. Canakapalli ; illustrations by A.L. Horalek
Quintessence Publishing Co, Inc, 2015
RK351 .B47 2015Y

"This book is designed to be a clinician's guide in daily practice and is not a substitute for standard endodontic textbooks. It is not intended to be "scholarly" or "evidence based," although some of the chapters are well referenced. Many of the chapters are devoted to a single procedure or topic and are written as how-to guides. Specific armamentaria and step-by-step instructions are included, and documented cases are used to illustrate specific principles. Chapters include practical information and "pearls" on a wide range of everyday clinical problems and scenarios. These chapters are intended to provide clinical guidance to clinicians performing unfamiliar procedures or wanting to learn alternatives to their usual approach. It is a book written by clinicians for clinicians, at a specialist level, but it is intended for anyone who wants to provide endodontic care at a high level." Taken from Preface, ix

Endodontology : an integrated biological and clinical view / by D. Ricucci and J.F. Siqueira, Jr.

Quintessence Publishing, 2013
RK351 .R58 2013Y

This book "is a very unique collection of histological images combined with supporting text. Essentially, this is a work that is at the same time an atlas and a textbook about clinical endodontics, based on strong biological grounds that eliminate the gap between clinical practice and biological issues. It bridges the basic knowledge, which common endodontic textbooks provide, to an in-depth understanding of endodontic biology.

"In this book, that biology is shown so that the reader can visualize what happened, understand what is happening, and predict what will happen with the patient. Chapters are also included that not only show and describe several aspects of the dental and periodontal tissues in both normality and disease, but also reveal the tissue responses to treatment procedures."

The biomechanical foundation of clinical orthodontics / by C.J. Burstone and K. Choy

Quintessence Publishing Co, Inc, 2015
RK521 .B87 2015X

"Historically, the mainstay of orthodontic treatment has been the appliance. Orthodontists have been trained to fabricate and use appliances and sequences of application shapes called techniques. However, appliances are only the instrument to produce force systems, which are the basis of tooth position and bone modification. And yet a thorough understanding of scientific biomechanics has not been a central part of orthodontic training and practice. Both undergraduate and graduate courses in most dental schools lack sound courses in mechanics and physics. What makes this problem worse is that there are few textbooks that describe biomechanics in a way that is suitable for the clinician. The authors hope this text will fill this void." Taken from Preface, vii

Soft tissue management : the restorative perspective : putting concepts into practice / by A.J. Raigrodski

Quintessence Publishing Co, Inc, 2015
RK667 .I45 R35 2015X

"Much has already been written on this topic from both research and clinical perspectives. The vision for this book, however, is to provide clinicians with evidence-based concepts that will guide them as technologies and materials in dentistry continue to evolve. The goal is to demystify clinical restorative procedures and help restorative dentists ensure better control of the soft tissue frame (also known as the pink esthetics) during all clinical steps of restorative therapy while enhancing a healthy and esthetic treatment outcome. Therefore, the book offers a simplified approach for soft tissue management during restorative therapy and practical tools that restorative dentists may apply in their daily practice." Taken from Preface, vii
