Psychology and sociology applied to medicine. 3rd ed. / Beth Adler et al 2009.

VKL 306.461 PSYCHOLOGY

Description: This textbook in the "Illustrated Colour Text" series offers an integrated treatment of sociology and psychology for medical students. It is presented in a much more colourful and graphic format than is usual for books on these two subjects. This integration reflects the tendency to teach these two subjects together as 'behavioural science', with an increased stress on the place of medicine in society, and on illness as a product of psychological and social circumstances rather than merely a biological phenomenon. The book reflects these trends and has been successful and popular with students. This third edition contains a new introduction on the importance and key features of the biopsychosocial model and additional double-page spreads on International Health and Rural Health. Contents: The life cycle The biopsychosocial model. Pregnancy and childbirth. Reproductive issues. Development in early infancy. Childhood and child health. Adolescence. Adulthood and middle age.

Restorative Dentistry: an integrated approach. 2nd ed. / Jacobsen P. 2008

VKL 617.6 JACOBSEN

"Restorative Dentistry: An Integrated Approach" presents the core of knowledge that forms the basis of clinical practice in restorative dentistry. The book contains a practical common-sense approach to clinical problems structured within the limitations imposed by the patient and the ability and facilities of the dentist. Subjects included in the book are periodontology, endodontics, dental biomaterials, oral biology and pathology, and fixed and removable prosthodontics. However, "Restorative Dentistry" offers a somewhat unique approach in that it integrates the basic sciences that are fundamental to clinical practice rather than having separate sections or expecting readers to consult other texts for basic information. The integration means that there are not separate sections on the specialist subjects but aspects of these topics are distributed throughout. This second edition is full colour throughout. It has been fully revised with two brand new chapters on Implantology bringing the book up to date with emerging technologies and developments in clinical procedures and materials.

Dental Caries: the disease and its clinical management. 2nd ed. / edited by O Fejerskov & E Kidd. 2008

VKL 617.67 DENTAL

This second edition of "Dental Caries: The Disease and its Clinical Management" builds on the success of the prestigious first edition to present an unrivalled resource on cariology. The clinical thrust of the first edition is widened and strengthened to include coverage of the disease in all its variety, from eruption of the first primary tooth to the prevalent forms of the disease in older patients. The centrality of caries control and management to the dental health of all populations is further emphasized, as this book goes beyond the successful treatment of carious lesions to demonstrate the long-term consequences of the non-operative and therapeutic techniques employed. This second edition of "Dental Caries" has been extensively and thoroughly revised and contains a wealth of new material. This book is divided into seven parts, taking as a logical starting point the clinical manifestations of dental caries.It then proceeds to cover clinical caries epidemiology, dental caries in a biological context, non-operative therapy, operative intervention, caries control and prediction, and dentistry in the 21st century. This second edition also expands into the field of public health, addressing the consequences of applying the available scientific evidence on dental caries to the practicalities of public health care planning. These aspects are dealt with both in low - and middle-income countries, as well as in high-income societies. If the modern concepts on dental caries as presented in this book are implemented in dental school curricula and in daily practice, they will have a dramatic effect on the organization and structure of the dental profession in the future.Therefore, it is essential reading for every dentist who wishes to be able to provide the best evidence-based dental care to patients and have an influence on the future development of modern dentistry. "Dental Caries: The Disease and its Clinical Management" brings together contributions from many scientific and clinical experts under the aegis of the editorial team, developing the core concepts of this book further in the direction of clinical research methodology, epidemiology, clinical cariology and microbiology. This second edition provides the reader with a peerless guide to dental caries and a balanced, though often provoking, debate on the science of cariology and its place in modern dentistry.

Indirect restorations. / Bartlett, David & Ricketts, David 2007

VKL 617.6922 BARTLETT

This easy-to-digest book offers expert guidance in each of the procedures involved in preparing for and placing indirect restorations. Written for students and novices, it walks readers through the steps of tooth preparation, shade taking, fabrication of the provisional restoration, impression taking, assessment of the occlusion (with and without an articulator), and crown placement. Clinical advice and expert tips for managing each phase make this book a valuable adjunct to the training one receives in dental school.

Contents 1. Introduction 2. Indications for Crowns 3. Retention of Cores 4. Choosing the Right Crown 5. Tooth Preparation 6. Shade Taking, Provisional Crowns, Impressions and Cementation 7. Managing the Occlusion 8. Short Clinical Crowns 9. When and How to Articulate
Preface This book is written to guide practitioners in preparing teeth for indirect restorations, and is designed to help senior undergraduates and recently qualified practitioners in constructing crowns for their patients. Many well written textbooks on this subject already exist, and thus this volume should not be seen as the definitive work. However, by contrast, it includes clinical advice and many tips for practising dentists. We have not included conventional or minimal preparation bridgework as there are other books in the Quintessentials series covering these topics. But many of the principles in this book can be applied to these areas.
On reading this book the reader will be able to: • Plan indirect restorations taking into consideration the importance of previous caries experience. The reasons for placing indirect restorations will be reappraised. • Consider and review the indications for indirect full and partial coverage crowns. • Appreciate how to place reliable and retentive cores. • Consider what factors are important when choosing the type of crown and how to select the best materials to use. The book will also: • Describe the common tooth preparations for crowns and assess how to achieve the best result. • Describe how to take a shade, make provisional restorations, record impressions and explain the value of taking interocclusal records. • Consider the definitions of occlusion and assess the relevance when making crowns. • Review the problems associated with short clinical crowns and how to manage them. • Describe when and how to use an articulator.
