Dental personnel must be trained to handle medical emergencies that occur during daily treatment. Yet, efficient management of medical emergencies should be thoroughly prepared in advance. Drs Orrett E. Ogle, Harry Dym and Robert J.

In distinct and clearly structured chapters the readers are familiarized with pretreatment evaluation of the dental patient, essentials of an emergency kit and basic life support techniques. Having acquired this knowledge, the readers are prepared to handle the most common medical emergency situations encountered during dental treatment such as: respiratory emergencies, acute chest pain, syncope, allergy and anaphylaxis, seizures, epilepsy, and stroke, nausea and vomiting, hemorrhagic emergencies, emergencies in the pregnant patient, hypertension and hypotension emergencies, TMJ emergencies, diabetic emergencies, malignant hyperthermia, thyroid crisis, local anesthesia emergencies, and adrenal crisis. This book provides an essential practical guide that should not be missing from the library of any dental clinic.

Specialized literature abounds in books about surgical aspects of oral implantology, but there is no comprehensive and systematized textbook on the implant-supported prosthodontic rehabilitation of the patient. This book entitled Implant Prosthodontics- A Patient-Oriented Strategy under the editorship of Professor Stefan Wolfart fills this gap in the literature giving a comprehensive, explanatory, and abundantly illustrated book including five parts and twenty-seven chapters. The first part presents the Basic Principles of implant prosthodontics by analyzing patient profile, esthetic, dental prosthesis, emergencies, and implant-abutment profiles, timing of implant placement and loading protocols. Part two covers Treatment Concept and Treatment Planning starting from the medical and dental history, examination and diagnosis, establishing seven basic rules of implant prosthodontic planning for each individual clinical situation. Part three, Clinical Procedure, presents radiographic analysis, surgical guide, surgical procedures, provisional restorations, impression-taking technique, the maxillomandibular relationship record, fixed and removable restoration, occlusion concept, intraoral optical impression, prosthetic complications, and aftercare and recall. Part four, which deals with Restorations Concepts, analyzes one by one the single tooth gap within the esthetic zone, the multi-tooth gap or the free-end situation, severely reduced dentition and the edentulous arch. The final part is dedicated to Laboratory Procedures, fixed and removable prostheses on implants. The book ends with an Appendix of materials, instruments, equipment, and software. Implant Prosthodontics- A Patient-Oriented Strategy is a fundamental guide for both implantologists and prosthodontists, but also for general dentists and dental technicians in which they will find a complete and systematic presentation on the implant-supported prosthodontic rehabilitation of the patient illustrated with over 2,000 figures and many flowcharts.
