Handbook of Pediatric Dentistry
On page xiii Preface, it is quite meaningful to all of us.I write it here for your reference "a lot of players say you can't play that course.That's a bunch of junk.A good player can play any course.You adapt your game to the golf course.You don't adapt the course to your game." It is the spirit of dentistry.Can anyone of us take a few minutes of thinking what's the feelig of visiting a dentist at her or his childhood especially at their first visit?I said that because I met before.The one changed my life and made me having a chance of reading this book.So, it is a good book.Keep it!
The book provides many clearly illustrations that are easily understand and very useful at practice.
There is a special chapter talking about pedo endodontics and writing so details. Moreover, a huge chapter of dental trauma of children give us references to handle the case if we meet.

Product Description

Restorative Dentistry: An Integrated Approach presents the core of knowledge that forms the basis of clinical practice in restorative dentistry.

The book contains a practical common-sense approach to clinical problems structured within the limitations imposed by the patient and the ability and facilities of the dentist. Subjects included in the book are Periodontology, Endodontics, Dental Biomaterials, Oral Biology and Pathology, and Fixed and Removable Prosthodontics. However Restorative Dentistry offers a somewhat unique approach in that it integrates the basic sciences that are fundamental to clinical practice rather than having separate sections or expecting readers to consult other texts for basic information. The integration means that there are not separate sections on the specialist subjects but aspects of these topics are distributed throughout.

This second edition is full colour throughout. It has been fully revised with two brand new chapters on Implantology bringing the book up to date with emerging technologies and developments in clinical procedures and materials.

Public Health Crisis
All root canal-treated teeth are toxic, says the author. There are no exceptions. There will probably never be an effective way to disinfect dentin tubules. Extraction is the only remedy, plussurgical debridement of the socket to remove all infected bone. Otherwise,jaw cavitation--gangrene of the jaw--may occur. Shocking? Yes, of course, but facts must be faced. Cavitations are common, says the author, and very toxic.Panoramic X-rays can sometimes find them, but cannot rule them out.Ultrasound can find them better.

The author once did dental implants, but now warns against them. They can cause serious problems, however well done. Better to avoid them entirely. Although titanium is relatively bio-compatible, it requires alloys that might not be.

This book is technical, but understandable to intelligent lay readers. It is must reading for any dentist tired of saving the tooth but losing the patient. Dental toxicityis a public health crisis and the dental establishment needs to get with the program or get out of the way. Enough of unnecessary suffering!

Correlation is not causality
Yes, there is a CORRELATION between periodontal and cardiac disease.That doesn't mean that one causes the other.Does eating ice cream make people wear shorts?Because when people are eating ice cream, they also tend to be wearing shorts more often.Or could it be that there's some THIRD FACTOR that causes both????Could it just be that, now I'm about to suggest something radical, but could it be that people who tend to neglect their health tend to have both periodontal and cardiac disease, and THAT's why they correlate?Think about.Don't go making stupid assumptions.Correlation is not causality.

Who would of guessed?
Who would have ever guessed that dental disease could have such a signifigant part in so many illnesses? For far to long denistry and the rest of medicine have been totally seperate fields. What is going on in your mouth is seen as having little relavance to the disease conditions going on the in the rest of the body. For to long dental school training has focused on saving your teeth at any cost.

"The Roots of Disease: Connecting Denistry andMedicine" was written by two men. One of these men is a dentist and the other a cadiologist. For over a decade these two health care professionals have witnessed that the removal and complete healing of infected dental sites can often result in the total healing (or at least vast improvement) of other diseases in the body.

Have you ever been told that root canals harbor bacteria that infect the rest of your body causing diseae? That this is also true of sites where wisdom teeth have been improperly removed? I wasn't able to regain my health until my dental issues were dealt with. I no longer have a stressed out immune system and the constant candida albicans that this reulted in.

This well written, thorough look at the health problems affeted by oral infection is a must read for anyone interested in obtaining optimal health.

Breaking with dentistry's omerta
Tom Levy graduated from Johns Hopkins University, studied and taught medicine at Tulane, and then, to paraphrase his words, actually began to think about what he was doing.

Most people do not understand that there are hardly any fields of medicine in which the best in the field don't believe things could be done a lot better, but run into institutional resistance which they can't overcome.Nor is this phenomenon limited to medicine.

In this book, written together with Dr. Kulacz, a former instructor at NYU, they critique dentistry, and expose how antiquated and indeed antediluvian practices CAN cause much sickness.Not every root canal causes harm, but not every apparently healthy root canal is harmless.This is nothing new; it was known in Germany more than 40 years ago.When I brought this book to the attention of my dentist, a great dentist in his own right, he was very grateful for the ideas in it, and agreed that Levy and Kulacz's contention that painkillers that contain noradrenalin retard wound healing, and that you have to manually curette (scrape) out the mess under bad root canals made absolute sense.(Using a drill produces sufficient heat to kill more bone, which results in more rot.)

That these claims are controversial is self-evident, and either suggests that they are wrong or that others do wish to acknowledge their findings.To my mind, Drs. Levy and Kulacz are every bit as much heros as the men on the first wave onto the Normandy Beaches on D-Day.

Anyone with an inordinate interest in critiques of dental science - small crowd that we may be - does well to purchase this book.

Thank God for this book!
Thank God for this book and Dr.Kulacz! A M.D. from the Cleveland Clinic told me about Dr.Kulacz and this book. When reading this book about some of the other patients I thought I was reading about myself. This book is as truthful as it gets about root canals , dental materials and proper procedures about extractions. This book is a must read for the people that suspect that their teeth may be one of the culprits to their health issues. Of course after reading this book I would think most sensible people would not take drastic action as to extract their own teeth ,as one person posted. I would love to stand outside of every dentist office and pass out this book to patients that are about to get a root canal. This book opens your eyes to the other side of root canals that your dentist will not tell you before the procedure. By the way your natural teeth are not better if they are giving you pain and lowering your immune system. You must read this book if you are searching for the truth about your teeth problems. Dr.Kulacz has integrity and morals which is what you would expect from any doctor. If I could I would rate this book higher than a five. ... Read more

Older edition than I thought I was getting.
Timing was good.Just didn't list what edition it was and I was disappointed.

contemporary implant dentistry

This book is akin to the Bible of implant dentistry. It is very comprehensive and enlightening yet easy to read as a text book or a reference source. Suitable for novice or experienced implantologist who consistently look for optimum and predictable results in their treatment to patients.I regard the book as one of the most valued book in my personal collections.

Don't do Dental Implants Without This Book
I have taken over 200 hours of implant continuing education.If someone had recommended this book my learning experience would have far exceeded the otherwise great education I recieved.

This book is very comprehensive, well organized and covers just about every aspect of implant dentistry in great detail.

Classic in the field
I disagree with the other reviewers. I have taught and done research in the field of Peridontology for the past 30 years. This is the best of the periodontal textbooks. Beautifully written and wonderfully documented. It is a classic.

Clinical Periodontology and Implant Dentistry
the book is very thorough explaining all about periodontology. But in some chapters, sometimes the words are so complex and need to be read repeatedly in order to get the meaning of the authors.In my opinion, using the simplest word is possible the best option for every reader, especially when you are in hurry time before exam, the simplest word is making the life easier. This book is recommended by my tutors.

Mixed feelings
There is a lot of information in this book, and I mean a lot.That's a good thing right?Yes and no.For being such a large, reference oriented book, this has one of the worst indexes I have ever seen.Its terrible.They obviously spent a great deal of time on the book, and its mind-boggling that they wouldn't put a good index in.As such, this is pretty much worthless for quick references.So we are left with a HUGE book, probably suitable only for perio residents, since they are probably the only ones with the motivation, obssesiveness, and lack of sanity to plow through this.Add a good index, and I'd give it five stars. ...

However, an increasing number of cases require examination of dental fragments and of bite mark analysis, particularly of the non-accidental type of injury in children.

Very good book!
This book has been great for me to have in the office as a quick reference.

Excellent for dental students
This book places everything you want to know in one place. Prior to getting this book it was extremely hard to study head and neck anatomy because you have to go back and forth from book to book to get all the info that is right in one place in this book.

I wish I could give it ten stars!!!
Unbelievable book! I have never been engrossed so deeply into learning something so fascinating.The way he puts it all together just makes it extremely easy to become proficient with head and neck anatomy. This should be in every dentist's personal library and great for studying for boards.

Great book
This book has a great review of all head and neck structures. Wonderful pictures as always with Netter, and great succinct tables with review information.

Must Have
This book is a must have for dental students!!Along with diagrams, it contains tables, and charts that explain origin and insertion of muscles and their innervation.The big edition of Netter does not supply the detail of information that is in this book.I Could not have survived 1st year dental school anatomy course without it!!Also gives instructions on nerve block anesthesia. ...
