Cementum in Health and Disease: Review on: Cementogenesis,The junctions & detection methods, Methods of study of cementum and cemental Pathologies (2023) by Dinsha K. N. PDF

 

Ebook Info

  • Published: 2023

  • Format: PDF
  • File Size: 5.4 MB
  • Authors: Dinsha K. N.

Description

Cementum is a calcified tissue that surrounds the root portion of dentin, and it forms the attachment site for the periodontal fibres that link the tooth to the alveolar bone. It was first demonstrated by Franenkel and Raschkow (1835) and Retzius (1836). In spite of the fundamental role that cementum plays in the maintenance of the teeth, very little is known about its normal development, repair and regeneration. Considering the great variation in morphology and distribution of the various types of cementum it is reasonable to assume that their formation is induced in different ways. There is accumulating histological evidence that cementum formation is critical for appropriate maturation of the periodontium. Cementum has remained a poorly defined tissue at the cellular and molecular level. While research through the years has demonstrated that cementum is a unique tissue histologically. This book describes in detail about cementogenesis, The types, cemental junctions and associated pathologies.

Clinician’s Handbook of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery 2nd Edition (2018) by Daniel M. Laskin PDF

 

Ebook Info

  • Published: 2018
  • Number of pages: 612 pages
  • Format: PDF
  • File Size: 25.84 MB
  • Authors: Daniel M. Laskin

Description

There are frequent situations in which oral and maxillofacial surgeons find themselves in need of an immediate answer to a clinical problem. However, this can involve a time-consuming search for the appropriate reference source. This book continues the format of the previous edition by providing a single place to quickly find information on a diverse range of clinical topics, including dentoalveolar surgery, maxillofacial trauma, craniofacial anomalies, and oral pathology. All of the previous chapters have been updated, and new chapters on implantology, cleft lip and palate, maxillofacial reconstruction, oral squamous cell carcinoma, and cosmetic surgery have been added. Moreover, increasing the size of the book has allowed for the inclusion of many summary charts, tables, clinical photographs, and radiographs, which was not possible in the previous version. As a result, this new edition provides expanded information in an improved format. Although this book is designed as a quick reference source, familiarizing oneself with its content in advance will both add to the readerÂ’s general knowledge base and improve the ability to find information quickly in urgent situations. Residents in oral and maxillofacial surgery should find its content particularly useful during their clinical training, and the concise organization of the material should also be helpful to them in retaining information when subsequently preparing for the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.

  • File Size: 44.82 MB

Description

Cambridge Textbook of Neuroscience for Psychiatrists is a ‘one stop shop’ for what any psychiatrist needs to know about the brain. Understanding the brain and mind requires a vast array of techniques and conceptual approaches. The Editors have assembled a team of basic neuroscientists, geneticists, psychologists, psychiatrists, neurologists, neurosurgeons and endocrinologists who bring you the cutting edge of translational neuroscience that addresses the material most relevant to current or future psychiatric practice. The book showcases what is known, highlights aspects that are less well understood and defines key outstanding questions. A revolution in our understanding of the brain has, so far, done little to disrupt mainstream psychiatric practice. That is set to change. The chapters align with the UK MRCPsych neuroscience syllabus and link to the USA National Neuroscience Curriculum Initiative (NNCI). Highly illustrated and accessible, this book will appeal to psychiatrists, neuroscientists, psychologists, other healthcare students and professionals.
