Marketing implant dentistry : attract and influence patients to accept your dental implant treatment plan / by M. Hines
"A large percentage of skilled dental professionals lack the tools and comfort level required to market themselves and their dental implant practices effectively As a consequence, these dental professionals miss several opportunities to help patients and grow their business. Even those who recognize the need for marketing often don't have the experience or training to do so effectively. Marketing Implant Dentistry meets this need by giving dentists the tools to better market and promote their practices and to gain case acceptance."
This book "presents proven approaches for attracting dental implant patients and demonstrates the use of successful communication skills, including verbal and visual aids. This book details multiple examples of patient friendly and professional letters for use in targeting both new implant patients and professional referral sources. Readers will learn the benefits of adopting non-traditional approaches such as hosting patient education seminars, as well as cultivating professional relationships with the medical community (physicians) for the purposes of generating untapped referral relationships. Best practices in internet and social media marketing, specific to implant dentistry, are also demonstrated so practices can make the most out of these low-cost opportunities."
This book "updates the landmark text in this important discipline within oral and maxillofacial surgery, otolaryngology/head and neck surgery, and general surgery. Written by well-established clinicians, educators, and researchers in oral and maxillofacial surgery, this book brings together information on the etiology, diagnosis, and treatment of all types of salivary gland pathology. Clear and comprehensive, Salivary Gland Pathology: Diagnosis and Management offers complete explanation of all points, supported by a wealth of clinical and surgical illustrations to allow the reader to gain insight into every facet of each pathologic entity and its diagnosis and treatment."
This book "offers comprehensive coverage of all aspects of this topic. Beginning with the embryology, anatomy and physiology of the salivary glands, the first section of the book discusses radiographic imaging, infections, cystic conditions, sialoadenitis and sialolithiasis, and systemic diseases. The second section of the book is devoted to the classification of salivary gland tumors and devotes individual chapters to the discussion of each type. Additions for this section of the second edition include molecular biology of salivary gland neoplasia, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy and targeted therapy for salivary gland malignancies. The book closes with a discussion of pediatric salivary gland pathology, traumatic injuries of the salivary glands and miscellaneous pathologic processes of the salivary glands and ducts, including a section on saliva as a diagnostic fluid.
The book is intended for a very diverse audience, including academic oral and maxillofacial surgeons, otolaryngologists / head and neck surgeons, general surgeons, as well as residents in these disciplines. Private practitioners will want to place this publication on the bookshelves of their offices so as to consult the textbook when evaluating a patient with salivary gland pathology."
"With new medications, medical therapies, and increasing numbers of older and medically complex patients seeking dental care, all dentists, hygienists, and students must understand the intersection of common diseases, medical management, and dental management to coordinate and deliver safe care.
This new second edition updates all of the protocols and guidelines for treatment and medications and adds more information to aid with patient medical assessments, and clearly organizes individual conditions under three headings: background, medical management, and dental management. Written by more than 25 expert academics and clinicians, this evidence-based guide takes a patient-focused approach to help you deliver safe, coordinated oral health care for patients with medical conditions.
Other sections contain disease descriptions, pathogenesis, coordination of care between the dentist and physician, and key questions to ask the patient and physician."

Advances in bioceramics and porous ceramics VIII : a collection of papers presented at the 39th International Conference on Advanced Ceramics and Composites / edited by R.J. Narayan and P. Colombo
Book Series: Ceramic Engineering and Science Proceedings
"This issue contains the proceedings of the “Next Generation Bioceramics” and “Porous Ceramics: Novel Developments and Applications” symposia of the 39th International Conference and Exposition on Advanced Ceramics and Composites (ICACC’15), which was held from January 25–30, 2015 in Daytona Beach, Florida, USA.
[...] The “Next Generation Bioceramics” symposium addressed several areas associated with processing, characterization, modeling, and applications of bioceramic materials. Topics covered by the symposium included processing of advanced bioceramic materials; bioinspired and biomimetic ceramic materials; biomineralization; self-assembly of bioceramic materials; inorganic-organic composite materials; nanostructured bioceramic materials; mechanical properties of bioceramic materials; in vitro and in vivo characterization of bioceramic materials; bioceramic materials for drug delivery; bioceramic materials for gene delivery; bioceramic materials for sensing; and bioceramic materials for dental applications.
[...] The symposium on porous ceramics was very well attended, with presentations given by people from academia and industry, confirming that the topic is of great interest and that continuous progress is being made both in university labs and R&D industrial facilities. In particular, researchers are striving to expand the range of porous architectures achievable, by devising novel and improved processing methods, the type of materials being produced with high levels of porosity (e.g. geopolymers), and the applications for highly porous ceramics. At the same time, advances in characterization techniques, such as Computed Tomography coupled with modeling, as well as in Additive Manufacturing-based fabrication techniques are increasingly demonstrating to be a key factor in the development of ceramic components with optimized porous architecture and properties."

"This book offers a comprehensive overview of current challenges and strategies to regenerate load-bearing and calcified human tissues, including bone, cartilage, tendon, ligaments and dental structures (dentin, enamel, cementum and periodontal ligament). Tissue engineering has long held great promises as an improved treatment option for conditions affecting mineralized and load-bearing structures in the body. Although significant progress has been achieved in recent years, a number of challenges still exist.
"This book presents the current state of research on the basic scientific aspects of root canal biofilm biology within a clinically applicable context. Root canal biofilms are complex polymicrobial structures adhering to the root canal surface that are formed by microorganisms invading the pulpal space of teeth, and are associated with persistent root canal infections. Concerted efforts to study root canal biofilms have been made in the past decade, resulting in the publication of observational and experimental studies that detail the morphology and biology of these structures in infected root canals. In addition to confirming that bacteria in root canals do not exist in free-floating planktonic states as previously assumed, this new information on root canal biofilm infections has provided an opportunity to re-evaluate conventional clinical protocols and improve endodontic therapeutic measures."
"This book covers the recent advances in the development of bioelectronics systems and their potential application in future biomedical applications starting from system design to signal processing for physiological monitoring, to in situ biosensing."
