[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.

Review
"[This textbook] contains a large chunk of endodontics. It is not, though, confined to root canal therapy as this book is all about the various types of operative or conservative dentistry...the procedures described within the book are certainly vital and commonplace to most dentists.

Although aimed initially at students, this is a book most dentists would find useful since it covers some of the latest instrumentation and techniques and includes a final chapter on evidence-based practice."

Internal Malignancy and the Skin: Paraneoplastic and Cancer Treatment-Related Cutaneous Disorders., An Issue of Dermatologic Clinics

Book Description
A wide variety of skin signs have been associated with internal malignancy. Cutaneous manifestations may develop before an internal neoplasm is recognized, and the skin findings can aid in diagnosis. In some cases the skin is infiltrated by malignant cells that represent metastatic or local spread from an internal malignancy. In other cases, the skin lesions are related to the underlying presence of malignancy, but they do not contain malignant cells. This issue of Dermatologic Clinics contains information on topics such as malignancy and cancer treatment-related hair and nail changes, tumor invasion of the skin, radiation therapy toxicity to the skin, and epidermal manifestations of internal malignancy.

[e Books] Antimicrobial Chemotherapy 2007

Antimicrobial Chemotherapy 2007

Book Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA (12 February, 2007)
ISBN: 0198570163
Book author: David Greenwood, Roger Finch, Peter Davey, Mark Wilcox

Review
"This is a useful overview of antimicrobial therapy. The authors provide essential information to answer several basic questions each prescriber should ask when writing antimicrobial prescriptions; what agent am I choosing, why am I choosing it, and how can I make a better choice."--Doody's
"The book is well written and is easy to read...The comprehensive nature of the book means necessarily that some attention is paid to areas of antimicrobial chemotherapy that are beyond the scope of most physicians."--British Journal of Hospital Medicine


Book Description
Instilling good prescribing habits in young doctors is essential for the benefit of patients and to preserve the value of the antibiotic revolution that altered medical practice in the second half of the twentieth century. These concerns underlie the approach taken in the new edition of this successful book. The text provides a comprehensive and up-to-date account of the principles of antimicrobial chemotherapy as an aid to informed, rational prescribing. Care is taken to address all aspects of antimicrobial drug use, including those specific to developed and developing countries of the world. The authors are international experts with a long standing interest in the role of education as a means of promoting an understanding of the benefits and limitations of antimicrobial chemotherapy in physicians, surgeons and other health care workers. The book offers a structured approach to the subject in four themed sections, each of several chapters. A historical introduction is followed by a section outlining the basic properties of antibacterial, antifungal, antiparasitic and antiviral (including antiretroviral) drugs. The next section explains the various facets of antimicrobial drug resistance - which threatens to undermine the continued efficacy of antimicrobial agents - and effective ways of countering the threat. Therapeutic use is covered in two sections: one introduces readers to the general principles that inform the rational prescribing of antimicrobial drugs; the second deals with practicalities of the use of antimicrobial agents in specific clinical conditions. The book ends with a description of the ways in which drugs are developed and marketed. There are extensive recommendations for further reading.
