Book Description
Longtemps sous-estimée, la santé bucco-dentaire des personnes âgées est devenue un problème de santé publique au cœur d'une réflexion d'amélioration des soins et de prise en charge adaptée à ces patients particuliers. L'odontologie gériatrique occupe un champ spécifique au sein de la médecine bucco-dentaire et, compte tenu de l'augmentation de la durée de vie, prend une place croissante dans l'activité quotidienne du chirurgien-dentiste. Afin d'aider le praticien, peu ou pas formé aux spécificités de ces patients, cet ouvrage donne toutes les clés pour réussir ses soins. Après un rappel de gériatrie générale, ce guide aborde les notions de vieillissement normal et pathologique ainsi que les aspects psychologiques. Sont détaillés ensuite les soins conservateurs, les prothèses spécifiques et l'accompagnement au long terme avec les mesures d'hygiène propres aux seniors et les liens avec les réseaux de soins (personnel de maisons de retraite, infirmières à domicile, etc.). Cet ouvrage pratique, illustré par plus de 150 figures et schémas en couleur, propose également des protocoles de soins qui guideront pas à pas le chirurgien-dentiste dans sa prise en charge.Le guide pratique des soins et de la thérapeutique en odontologie gériatrique. - La gériatrie, le vieillissement normal et pathologique, les aspects psychologiques. - Les soins conservateurs et les prothèses spécifiques. - L'accompagnement au long terme et les mesures d'hygiène propres aux seniors. - Les liens avec les réseaux de soins. - Plus de 150 figures et schémas en couleur. - Des protocoles de soins pour guider le chirurgien-dentiste pas à pas.

Book Description
"Dental fluorosis refers to changes in the appearance of tooth enamel that are caused by long-term ingestion of fluoride during the time teeth are forming. Studies conducted in the 1930s showed that the severity of tooth decay was lower and dental fluorosis was higher in areas with more fluoride in the drinking water. In response to these findings, community water fluoridation programs were developed to add fluoride to drinking water to reach an optimal level for preventing tooth decay, while limiting the chance of developing dental fluorosis. By the 1980s, studies in selected U.S. communities reported an increase in dental fluorosis, paralleling the expansion of water fluoridation and the increased availability of other sources of ingested fluoride, such as fluoride toothpaste (if swallowed) and fluoride supplements. This report describes the prevalence of dental fluorosis in the United States and changes in the prevalence and severity of dental fluorosis among adolescents between 1986-1987 and 1999-2004. Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 1999-2004 and the 1986-1987 National Survey of Oral Health in U.S. School Children." - p. 1.

Book Description
Pandemics, substance abuse, natural disasters, obesity, and warfare: these are not only health crises but social crises as well. Now a panel of leaders in global health explores the vital but understudied social theories behind the practice of health promotion, including cultural capital, risk and causality, systems theory, and the dynamic between individual and community.

Book Description
This book describes the challenges that deep carious lesions pose for dental practitioners, including the risk of endodontic complications and the difficulty of restorative treatment, and identifies options for overcoming these challenges on the basis of the best available evidence. The opening chapter sets the scene by discussing pathophysiology, histopathology, clinical symptomatology, and treatment thresholds. The various treatment options are then systematically presented and reviewed, covering non-selective, stepwise, and selective carious tissue removal and restoration, sealing of lesions using resin sealants or crowns, and non-restorative management approaches. In each case the current evidence with respect to the treatment is carefully evaluated. Advantages and disadvantages are explained and recommendations made on when to use the treatment in question. Illustrative clinical cases and treatment pathways for clinicians are included. This book will be of value for all practitioners who treat dental caries and carious lesions, whether in the permanent or the primary dentition. It will also be of interest to under- and postgraduate students in cariology and restorative, operative, preventive, and pediatric dentistry.

Book Description
Covering the science behind the diseasea comprehensive approach to modern caries management This systematic approach to modern caries management combines new, evidence-based treatment techniques with the scientific underpinnings of caries formationproviding an in-depth review for both clinicians in daily practice and students advancing in the field. Beginning with patho-anatomic changes in the dental hard tissues, Dental Caries: Science and Clinical Practice goes on to cover non-invasive, minimally invasive, and more aggressive interventions based on each stage of the disease. From microbiology and histology to visual, tactile and radiographic diagnosis, risk assessment, preventive measures, and tooth preservation and treatment strategies, the book is packed with valuable clinical information for all dental practitioners. Key Features: Succinctly covers the science behind the disease, with recommendations for treatments based on assessment starting at the microscopic level Written by a team of leading worldwide authorities on caries treatment and managementand utilizing the International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS) standard throughout Covers the newest treatment techniques, including adhesion technology, fissure sealing and infiltration, caries removal, tooth-colored restorations, and more Demonstrates step-by-step caries procedures in striking, full-color illustrations of adult and pediatric cases Offers the newest thinking on early prevention and behavioral changes in oral health promotion, including the role of diet and nutrition, biofilm management, fluoride use, population-based approaches, and more Shifting to the new paradigm of heal and seal rather than the more invasive drill and fill, this beautifully illustrated text puts scientific principles into clinical action for the best results. It is an essential resource for a complete, proactive approach to caries detection, assessment, treatment, management, and prevention in contemporary dental practice.
