Book Description

:Written by a broad spectrum of dental, medical and basic science researchers from around the world, this book presents state-of-the-art knowledge concerning the biology of connective tissues and their response to exogenous mechanical stimulation at the cell biology level. The text goes well beyond the traditional morphologic descriptions of tooth movement, covering the cell biology of the connective tissues involved, the various in vitro and in vivo research models, possible pharmacological means of influencing tissue responses, and biophysical considerations. Many cellular events that occur during tooth movement are discussed, as well as the exciting challenges, unanswered questions and possibilities in the future. This publication is extremely relevant to the work of dental specialists in orthodontics, pediatric dentistry, and periodontics plus orthopeadists and basic scientists working in connective tissue research. ...

A useful guide to dental anatomy
This is a very practical and comprehensive book for dental anatomy, giving a complete overview of the subject, rather concise in certain difficult area of the subject like neuroanatomy, a good introductory book for dental student which I recommend strongly. ... Read more

Book Description

This treatise will provide researchers and students alike with a complete guide on all aspects of dental calculus, a rapidly growing area of considerable commercial interest. The volume includes current information on the formation and inhibition of calculus, its effect on periodontal health, the relationship of calculus to caries development, as well as its potential as a model for biological mineralization. Recent Advances in the Study of Dental Calculus also gives the reader in-depth information on the underlying physiological factors inherent in calculus and the results of a clinical trial on the effect of flouride dentrifices, reflecting the wide range of methodologies being applied to this important area of dental research. ...

Book Description

The molecular mechanisms and protein species involved in enamel development and mineralization are areas of active research and debate. There is much to learn about the roles of the enamel matrix proteins (e.g. amelogenins and enamelins/tuftelins and ameloblastins) secreted by ameloblasts, as well as the process of abnormal enamel development, which may result either from inherited genetic defects (amelogenesis imperfecta) or from systemic or environmental factors such as fluoride. The aim of this book is to evaluate many of the recent advances in this field: the genetics and structural biology of the enamel matrix proteins; the structure/function relationships of these proteins in normal and diseased enamel; the new cellular, molecular, evolutionary and computational approaches that are fuelling progress towards the understanding of enamel genesis; and the biomimetic or tissue engineering approaches that may result in improved diagnostics and therapeutics. It contains lively debates from an international group of experts who have identified future directions both for the ‘science of dental enamel and health-related opportunities. ... Read more

Book Description

Hardbound. In recent years, great progress has been made in both basic and clinical research of dentistry. It is a good time, therefore, for both the basic and clinical sides of dentistry to integrate recent advances in these fields of oral motor functions. The above mentioned symposium was held in Osaka in order to meet such requirements. 30 oral and 66 poster presentations were given at the symposium, on which this book is substantially based. Dentists of the next generations will be required to understand recent advances in brain research because their work is profoundly related to nerve function. Owing to space limitations, only a selection of the published papers are listed hereunder. ... Read more

Book Description

The last two decades have seen a proliferation in the use of sophisticated orthodontic appliances, capable of considerable precision in manipulating the correction of misplaced teeth, and in the use of orthognathic surgery for the treatment of facial deformity. Both of these advances have greatly increased the demand for precise information about the future facial growth and its probable variations. A more scientific approach to orthodontic treatment requires that the claims for the efficacy of various treatment techniques should be substantiated, a process which needs a baseline of data on normal growth changes with which to compare improvement attributed to the treatment. An opportunity to satisfy this need was provided by the development of an online computer system with computergraphic facilities alongside longitudinal growth material at King's College School of Medicine and Dentistry. From this material cephalometric records extending from before the age of 5 years to adulthood was made immediately available to researchers. The data covers a greater range of ages than is presently available and are based upon as large a sample of the British population as possible. This includes occlusion developed normally without orthodontic treatment. This book is essentially a manual of growth changes and is largely descriptive. Some introductory explanations are included to define the nature and source of the sample, and the methods used in taking the radiographs and in assembling and processing the data. ... Read more
