Practical Periodontal Plastic Surgery



Practical Periodontal Plastic Surgery provides the qualified and trainee periodontist with a pragmatic approach to mucogingival plastic surgery, imparting knowledge and expertise through its step–by–step examination of the actual clinical requirements of each procedure. The book focuses on the increasingly requested esthetic procedures such as crown lengthening and root coverage, but it also deals with other mucogingival operations, such as hard and soft pre–prosthetic and pre–implant ridge augmentation. Uniquely, there is also a focus on the burgeoning field of periodontal microsurgery, and the techniques and methods learned from other branches of microsurgery are applied to realities of dentistry, for enhanced soft tissue results. Practical Periodontal Plastic Surgery begins by outlining the place and development of periodontal plastic surgery, and the factors, chiefly periodontal health, that affect surgical outcomes. Periodontal microsurgery is then introduced before the step–by–step description of the surgical procedures with their expected outcome. Each operation is taken in turn, explaining the techniques used and the instrumentation required, and illustrating every step with an abundance of clinical photographs. Finally, the book concludes with a discussion of patient selection criteria. This book will benefit periodontists, dentists, residents and students alike by strengthening understanding of mucogingival surgery through a thorough appreciation of each part of the procedures involved.

La pratique de l'analgésie en odontologie


La réalisation d'une infiltration analgésique fait partie de la pratique quotidienne des chirurgiens-dentistes. Le choix de la solution analgésique en fonction du patient et de l'acte est la première étape, qui conditionne la réussite du soin.

Le matériel actuellement disponible est encore trop pléthorique. Le choix de la technique ne doit pas sacrifier aux modes du moment en faisant appel à des moyens contestables. La technique choisie doit répondre aux contraintes physiologiques, anatomiques locales ainsi qu'à l'âge du patient et du type et de la durée de l'acte envisagé.

Une bonne connaissance anatomique des sites d'injection est capitale pour la réalisation d'un geste efficace et indolore.

Depuis le choix de la molécule et du matériel à la réalisation de chaque technique analgésique, l'objectif de ce manuel est de guider les praticiens, pour éviter les échecs et des techniques discutables, et souvent onéreuses.

L'art de traiter avant 6 ans



L'art de traiter avant 6 ans" du Dr Marie-Josephe Deshayes est un ouvrage essentiel dans la compréhension de l'occlusion. Jusqu'à ce jour, on ne s'est pas suffisamment préoccupé de la base crânienne qui, à notre estime, est déterminante dans l'établissement de l'occlusion.

Une dysharmonie occlusale signale une dysharmonie basicrânienne ; toute la difficulté est bien d'en dépister les premiers signes au plus tard à l'installation de la mastication vers 2 ans ½.

Changer la forme et le rapport des arcades en denture lactéale, c'est modifier la balance mandibulaire et le jeu des forces de la mastication. C'est assurer ainsi la réharmonisation crânienne et faciale donc la pérennité de la nouvelle harmonie occlusale.

Vous trouverez dans ce livre, "L'art de traiter avant 6 ans :
  •  les bases fondamentales de la croissances crânienne,
  •  l'explication de l'origine des malocclusions dentaires,
  •  23 cas cliniques étudiés, commentés et leurs traitements,
  •  plus de 1000 illustrations.
