"NEW Periodontal Considerations chapter focuses specifically on the portions of periodontal diagnosis and therapy that pertain to comprehensive fixed prosthodontic treatment.
NEW section on digital impression techniques describes how to create a virtual, computer-generated replica of the hard and soft tissues in the mouth using lasers and other optical scanning devices.
NEW section on virtual articulators addresses a new software tool providing dynamic visualization of the occlusal surface, eliminating the need for a mechanical articulator.
NEW discussion on cone beam imaging allows for clear visualization of osseous contours and bone volume, facilitating better decisions about the size of implant fixtures that can be accommodated realistically.
NEW section on virtual casts show how they contrast with analog systems.
NEW section on digital interim fixed restorations covers the fabrication of large multiunit composite or polymethyl methacrylate external surface forms.
NEW information on CAD/CAM includes the printing of wax patterns, milling ceramics, and laser sintering alloys.
Commonly taught techniques popular in U.S. and Canadian dental schools are incorporated throughout the text.
Summary charts provide an at-a-glance review of procedures--such as Class II inlay preparation and all-ceramic crown preparation--including indications, contraindications, advantages, disadvantages, preparation steps, recommended armamentarium, and criteria.

Dental caries : the disease and its clinical management, 3rd edition / edited by O. Fejerskov, B. Nyvad and E. Kidd
Wiley-Blackwell, 2015
Stacks RK331 .D465 2015Y

"First published in 2003, Dental Caries: The Disease and Its Clinical Management has become the leading resource on cariology. In this highly anticipated new edition, the editors maintain the same focus on high-level coverage of the disease etiology and process, clinical management best-practice, and wider public health issues connected with dental caries management, including an enhanced focus on the 'caries control concept'.

Implantology step by step / by C.T. Sliwowski; co-authors S. Hümmeke, D. Sliwowska and C.F.J. Stappert
Quintessence Publishing, 2015
Stacks RK667 .I45 S5513 2015Y

"This successful and popular work is now appearing in a fully revised and extended second edition, translated into English. Its author, Christoph Sliwowski, has brought together the treatment of the maxilla and mandible in one volume and has included a chapter on the totally edentulous patient. A wealth of newly included patient reports illustrate novel methods and techniques, replacing any material that has since become obsolete.
"What remains is the innovative concept that a variety of baseline situations and degrees of difficulty are taken into account for all clinical situations - from the restoration of single-tooth gaps to the treatment of the edentulous maxilla and mandible with sinus elevation and immediate implants. Important complications are also considered, with causes and solutions. Finally, the author has not shied away from including sample cases with unsatisfactory treatment outcomes, raising the reader's awareness of the special pitfalls of implant treatment."
