Customer Reviews

A leader in implant dentistry—an excellent text for novice and experienced alike, February 9, 2007

Michael Block is an extraordinary educator and this text demonstrates his teaching abilities and his knowledge of implant dentistry. He sits on the education committees of several scientific academies for a reason. There is content appropriate for all dentists, not just Oral Surgeons. The text is easy to navigate through, there are ample references that will be helpful to students and educators alike, and the images, etc. are helpful towards clarifying concepts in implant dentistry. It is a must for every advanced implant surgeon and cutting edge restorative clinician.

Great read on implant dentistry!, August 5, 2011

Must-read for those interested in implant surgery. With easy-to-follow, colorful illustrations, this well-organized book thoroughly discusses essential principles of comprehensive implant dentistry with emphasis on challenging anterior/esthetic cases, different approaches to bone grafting/soft tissue manipulation/flap designs and their limitations. Highly recommended!

A very comprehensive book on dental implant surgery, October 9, 2008

Michael Block is considered one of the pioneers in implant dentistry with countless publications in peer reviewed journals and serving on the board of several academies. It is to no surprise that this book features the very latest in dental implant surgeries and associated grafting procedures. The book is well written and documented with excellent illustrations and images. This is also a great book for the general dentist who does not perform surgery, because it puts the entire implant treatment progression into a very good perspective for successful treatment planing.

Very specialized, September 20, 2010

This product is good for an oral surgeon. Not for the regular periodontist, or general dentist. Too advanced for the regular reader.

Causes of Halitosis

- Food:
Such as garlic, onions, and spicy foods, exotic spices (such as curry), some cheeses, fish, and acidic beverages such as coffee can leave a lingering smell.
Most of the time this is short-term. Other foods may get stuck in the teeth, promoting the growth of bacteria, which causes bad breath odor.

- Tobacco Products:
Smoking and chewing tobacco can leave chemicals that remain in the mouth.

- Poor Dental Hygiene:
When a person does not brush or floss regularly, food particles remaining in the mouth can rot and cause bad odors. Poor dental care can lead to a buildup of plaque in the mouth, which causes an odor of its own.

- Health Problems:
Such as: Sinus infections, pneumonia, sore throat (pharyngitis) and other throat infections, thrush, bronchitis, post nasal drip, diabetes, acid reflux, lactose intolerance, and some liver or kidney diseases.

- Dry Mouth "Xerostomia":
Saliva helps moisten and cleanse the mouth, and when the body does not produce enough saliva, bad breath may result.
Dry mouth may be caused by salivary gland problems, connective tissue disorders (Sjögren's syndrome), medications, or breathing through the mouth.

- Mouth Infections:
Cavities, gum disease, or impacted teeth may cause bad breath.

- Dentures or Braces:
Food particles not properly cleaned from appliances can rot or cause bacteria and odor.
Loose-fitting dentures may cause sores or infections in the mouth, which can cause bad breath.

- Medications:
Many medications including antihistamines and diuretics can cause dry mouth, which can cause bad breath.
Other medications which may lead to bad breath may include insulin shots, triamterene, and paraldehyde.

- "Morning Breath":
Saliva production nearly stops during sleep, which allows bacteria to grow, causing bad breath.

- Other Causes:
Objects stuck in the nose, alcoholism, and large doses of vitamin supplements.

Clinical Endodontics - Textbook - 2nd Revised Edition - 2003 - Leif Tronstad

Book Description

A new edition of a classic student text in Endodontics! As did the first edition, the second edition of Tronstad’s Clinical Endodontics fills the need for a simple, yet comprehensive textbook in endodontics that serves as an introductory text for dental students, and which is also suitable as a refresher source for general practitioners, postdoctoral students, and entodontists. Having been written by only one author, the book is remarkable for its cohesiveness, clear argumentation, and didactic clarity, which are so important at the introductory level. Clinical endodontics summarizes the biology of the endodontium and the apical periodontium, and deals with the etiology and pathogenesis of endodontic diseases. Examination methods, diagnosis, and treatment principles are discussed, and main endodontic techniques are described. A final chapter deals with the prognosis of endodontic treatment. The new and second edition has been completely updated and revised, and includes a new chapter on endodontic retreatment.

Dental Management of Patients with Thyroid Disorders

Introduction:
- Patients who have thyroid disease present a treatment challenge to dentists.
- Awareness of the condition and current stage of treatment is important in understanding the possible modifications needed for dental treatment.
- Length and current state of therapy are important in understanding the metabolic control of patients.
- The main complications of both patients with hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism are associated with cardiac co-morbidity.
- Other co-morbid conditions are D.M and asthma.
- Consultation with the patient’s primary care physician or an endocrinologist is warranted if any sign or symptom of thyroid disease is noted on examination.
- Dental treatment modifications may be necessary for dental patients who are under medical management and follow-up for a thyroid condition even if there are no co-morbid conditions.
- Stress reduction, awareness of drug side effects or interactions, and vigilance for appearance of signs or symptoms of hormone toxicity are among the responsibilities of the oral health care provider.

Before Treatment:
ASSESSMENT OF THYROID FUNCTION- Establish type of thyroid condition.
- Is there a presence of cardiovascular disease? If yes, assess cardiovascular status.
- Are there symptoms of thyroid disease? If yes, defer elective treatment and consult a physician.
- Obtain baseline thyroid-stimulating hormone, or TSH. Control is indicated by hormone levels, length of therapy and medical monitoring. If the patient has received no medical supervision for more than one year, consult a physician.
- Obtain baseline complete blood count. Give attention to drug-induced leukopenia and anemia.
- Assess medication and interactions with thyroxine and TSH.
- Make proper treatment modifications if the patient is receiving anti-coagulation therapy.
- Take blood pressure and heart rate. If blood pressure is elevated in three different readings or there are signs of tachycardia/bradycardia, defer elective treatment and consult a physician.

During Treatment:
- Oral examination should include salivary glands. Give attention to oral manifestations.- Monitor vital signs during procedure:
■ Is the patient euthyroid? If yes, there is no contraindication to local anesthetic with epinephrine.
■ Use caution with epinephrine if the patient taking non-selective β-blockers.
■ If the patient’s hyperthyroidism is not controlled, avoid epinephrine; only emergent procedures should be performed.
- Minimize stress–appointments should be brief.
- Discontinue treatment if there are symptoms of thyroid disease.
- Make pertinent modifications if end-organ disease is present (diabetes, cardiovascular disease, asthma).

After Treatment:
- Patients who have hypothyroidism are sensitive to central nervous system depressants and barbiturates.- Control pain.
- Use precaution with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for patients who have hyperthyroidism, avoid aspirin.
- Continue hormone replacement therapy or anti-thyroid drugs as prescribed.
