Removable Partial Prosthodontics 4th Edition - NEW EDITION!
Stewart’s Clinical
The fourth edition of this classic prosthodontic textbook features a new chapter on implant-assisted removable partial dentures as well as a description of the Prosthodontic Diagnostic Index. As before, the text provides an overview of removable partial denture service in contemporary dental practice with an emphasis on clinical and design aspects. Clinical topics range from examination and treatment planning to mouth preparation and prosthesis placement. Common design philosophies are discussed, and a step-by-step method for partial denture design is presented. Also included are alternative removable partial denture therapies such as Swing Lock, dual path, and attachment-type prostheses. To facilitate visualization and understanding, the text is accompanied by numerous illustrations. Like those that came before it, this edition is intended to help the student, the general practitioner, and the specialist consistently provide high-quality prosthodontic treatment for their patients.

Orofacial Pain - From Basic Science to Clinical Management - NEW EDITION!
Second Edition
This revised and expanded edition highlights the importance of understanding the biologic and psychologic pain mechanisms to prepare clinicians who treat patients presenting with a variety of pain symptoms. In addition to presenting objective definitions and descriptions of pain and its physical effects, the authors include evidence-based research on how the pain experience may be influenced by genetics, gender, or individual psychosocial and health histories. Extending well beyond basic toothache and TMDs, this book covers pathologic conditions of surrounding orofacial structures and nonodontogenic pain disorders that may manifest as orofacial pain as well, including new chapters on headache and orofacial pain–related movement disorders. Chapters on management guide clinicians on how to develop practical and compassionate treatment plans based on logical evaluation methods, accurate diagnosis, and appropriate pharmacologic treatment, or how to decide when referral to other health care providers is warranted. A series of case studies demonstrates the effective application of this information to clinical situations.

Dental Materials and Their Selection - NEW EDITION!
Fourth Edition
Fundamental principles of material science are closely integrated with everyday dental practice in the newly revised edition of this classic textbook. Written in a practical, straightforward manner with the student practitioner in mind, this book presents the essential knowledge of material structure and properties. A glossary of terms and discussion questions are included with each chapter to help students focus on the concepts they will need as practicing dentists. Promoting problem-based learning through the use of real-life clinical scenarios, the authors show how to apply the framework of material science to restorative treatment plans. This didactic combination will enable students, technicians, and clinicians not only to select appropriate materials for various clinical situations, but to handle them correctly for optimum clinical performance.

The Herbst Appliance Research-based Clinical Management
Hans Pancherz & Sabine Ruf
This book is based on more than 30 years of scientific and clinical work with the Herbst appliance in the therapy of Class II malocclusions. With respect to the clinical use of this non-compliance fixed functional appliance, the following main topics are elaborated on:
- Appliance design and construction
- Short and long-term treatment effects in the management of Class II:1 and Class II:2 malocclusions.
- Mandibular growth stimulation in patients treated at different stages of somatic and skeletal maturation
- The headgear effect of the Herbst appliance
- The influence of therapy on the frequency of extractions
- The advantages and disadvantages of an “early” (mixed dentition and preadolescent growth period) versus a “late” (permanent dentition and postadolescent growth period) treatment approach.
- The successful application of the Herbst appliance in young adults (20 to 30 years of age).
- Herbst therapy as a possible alternative to rothognathic surgery in non-syndrom adult Class II malocclusions
- Additionally, the book will address the possible harmful effects of the Herbst appliance on the TMJ (development of TMD), on the anchorage teeth (development of root resorptions) and on the tooth supporting hard and soft tissue structures (development of marginal bone loss and gingival recessions).

Clinical Success in Immediate Complete Dentures: An Alternative Approach
Michel Pompignoli, Michel Postaire, and Didier Raux
Transitioning a patient from partial edentulism to full edentulism in the maxilla is a challenge. This book presents the clinical and laboratory protocols for successful treatment of a hopeless dentition using an immediate complete denture. The authors describe a treatment strategy for delivering a functional prosthesis on the same day as the extractions of the anterior dentition, thus facilitating patient adjustment to the edentulous state.

Suturing Techniques in Oral Surgery
By Sandro Siervo
Proper management of soft tissues in periodontal, implant, and reconstructive surgery has become increasingly important for aesthetic treatment outcomes. In order to achieve correctpostoperative positioning of the soft tissues, clinicians must have a comprehensive understanding of wound healing and suturing. Drawing on a series of clinical cases, this book out-lines suturing techniques for the most common surgical procedures, providing indications as well as techniques for implementation. The detailed illustrations and tables clarify difficult technical concepts, and a quick reference guide consolidates the essential information for each suture type.

Twenty-First Century Imaging
by Horner, Keith / Drage, Nicholas / Brettle, David
Imaging is a key part of clinical practice. To maximise the potential benefit to their patients, dentists need to have an understanding of how imaging systems work. In the 21st century, we are faced with major technological developments in radiology, of which many dentists will be unfamiliar. This book aims to address these challenges by providing a comprehensive introduction to state-of-the-art dental imaging, in particular to the complexities of digital radiology and the advanced techniques available for cross sectional imaging.

ITI Treatment Guide, Vol II
Loading Protocols in Implant Dentistry—Partially Dentate Patients
Authors/Editors: Wismeijer, Daniel / Buser, Daniel / Belser, Urs
Implant dentistry has become a standard option for the rehabilitation of fully and partially edentulous patients. With the ever-increasing number of dentists involved in implant dentistry, it is essential to ensure that their treatment methods follow the highest standard. The ITI Treatment Guide series, a compendium of evidence-based implant-therapy techniques in daily practice, is written by renowned clinicians and provides a comprehensive overview of various therapeutic options. Using an illustrated step-by-step approach, the ITI Treatment Guide shows practitioners how to manage different clinical situations, with the emphasis on sound diagnostics, evidence-based treatment concepts, and predictable treatment outcomes.
The second volume of the ITI Treatment Guide is devoted to the restoration of partially dentate patients. Central to this volume of the ITI Treatment Guide are loading protocols available to the clinician and the patient and how they relate to various treatment indications, including both single and multiple missing teeth in the posterior and anterior regions of the mouth.
Among potential topics for upcoming volumes are implant placement in extraction sockets, loading protocols in edentulous patients, implant therapy in the esthetic zone in extended edentulous spaces, and many more.
