Book Description

Chronic orofacial symptoms, including pain, ulceration, disturbances in jaw movement, and problems with sensation or salivation, are often revealed to be the result of emotional problems. This book reviews the various ways that patients with emotional problems present to dental practitioners and maxillofacial surgeons. It provides practical advice to help these clinicians to recognise the orofacial manifestations of psychitric disorders and explains the different approaches to treatment. The book covers clinical situations ranging from how to deal with the anxious patient, the patient with stress-related head, face and mouth pain, to the patient who wishes to change their appearance by either an orthodontic or orthognathic approach. The chief author and guest contributors to this book represent a variety of disciplines, including dental practioners, restorative specialists, orthodontists, maxillofacial surgeons, psychiatrists and psychologists, all of whom have a contribution to make to the management of these patients. ...

Book Description

The product includes two DVD's of one hour each. The DVD's greatest value is in its video instruction of how to administer all kinds of local anesthesia injections. The product is designed to cover the critical content areas related to local anesthesia (and which are covered in Malamed's textbook). The four major content areas are: local anesthetic agents, all kinds of anesthetic injection techniques, potential complications, and risk management. What sets these video clips apart from teaching materials currently in use in the classroom is that they facilitate demonstration of actual techniques without having to use live models for demonstration. Having a dental hygiene student or practitioner be able to see exactly how to administer local anesthesia without actually being in the clinic, working on a patient, or observing an instructor working on a patient, is an excellent advantage. Every possible kind of injection is demonstrated - this is a first in the market! ... Read more
