[eBooks] Essentials of Microbiology for Dental Students

Essentials of Microbiology for Dental Students (Paperback)
by Jeremy Bagg (Author), T. Wallace MacFarlane (Author), Ian R. Poxton (Author), Andrew J. Smith (Author), Simon Bagg (Illustrator)

Book Description
This book presents the science of microbiology in a clinical context that is relevant to the safe and effective practice of dental surgery. Microbiology is a rapidly moving discipline. Since the First Edition, a number of infectious diseases such as Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease and SARS have emerged as significant clinical problems. There have also been changes in the epidemiology of certain infections, for example sexually transmitted diseases. These issues are all covered in this new edition. The book has been updated throughout, and changes to antimicrobial drug prescribing regimens have been included. Major new chapters include those on fungi, human herpes viruses, infections of the central nervous system, and use of antimicrobial agents in dentistry. The chapters dealing with sterilisation, disinfection and infection control procedures in dentistry have been completely re-written, to reflect recent significant changes in decontamination protocols which have been stimulated by the problem of prion diseases. This book will serve as a core reference text for use throughout all years of the undergraduate dental curriculum, as a refresher course for postgraduate students, and as a continuing source of reference for dentists in clinical practice.

Book Info
Univ. of Glasgow, UK. Textbook's three sections cover fundamental principles, the systemic microbial disease relevant to dentistry and oral microbiology. Each chapter is cross-referenced and colorfully illustrated, including more than 300 tables, photographs and line drawings.

Introducing Dental Implants (Paperback)
by John A. Hobkirk (Author), Roger M. Watson (Author), Lloyd Searson (Author)

Review
"This is a book with a strong pedigree and is based on the previously successful book also written by the authors "A Colour Atlas and Text of Dental and Maxillo-Facial Implantology".
The information in this book cannot be faulted and the pictures are of very good quality." D Walmsley, British Dental Journal, January 2004
textbook is ideal for undergraduate dental students, and any member of the dental team who wants a deeper insight into some of the implant treatment possibilities." Dr Waseem Noordin, Dental Practice, September 2003
the book is incredibly well organised, breaking down information into a series of headings and bullet points. This information is also summarised in table form. The text is comprehensive, supported by a wealth of clinical images and schematic illustrations covering all aspects of implant dentistry. The authors have aimed this book at final year dental students, dentists taking postgraduate courses and professionals complementary to dentistry. In laying the book out in discrete chapters in an easy to read style, I think that it will find an enthusiastic audience." Instructor, University of Birmingham School of Dentistry, Dental Update, April 2004

Book Description
In recent years, dental implants have become a more common alternative to conventionally placed dentures, bridges and crowns. This accessible, well-illustrated introduction to the principles of implant dentistry provides readers coming into contact with implants for the first time with a working knowledge of the various implant systems available. Thorough discussions are also included on patient assessment and treatment planning, the use of implants in edentulous and partially edentulous patients and for single tooth restorations, as well as possible problems and maintenance procedures.
