This electronic glossary, compiled by an international panel of experts in prevention and periodontology, contains more than 2,000 terms. The glossary offers straightforward definitions and pertinent scientific and clinical information about terms in the areas of anatomy and morphology, etiology, pathogenesis/immunology, peri-implant diseases, classification, epidemiology, prevention, diagnosis, radiology, nonsurgical therapy, surgery, reevaluation/maintenance, systemic manifestations/periodontal medicine, and clinical research/statistics.
The glossary also features numerous photographs, illustrations, and tables to further elucidate the meanings of the entries. An exceptional resource for anyone needing to communicate in the clinical and scientific language of prevention and periodontology.
The "occlusal compass" helps its target audience to make statements on and predict natural movements of the mandible (lower jaw) on the horizontal plane. The compass enables its users to obtain an idea of the directional movements (eg, protrusion, laterotrusion, mediotrusion) and to define these movements.
The NAT (natural waxing-up technique) is considered to be one of the most appropriate methods of implementing the occlusal compass, which facilitates the modeling of anatomically correct and functional models of occlusal surfaces of molars.
This DVD includes a presentation of the occlusal compass, the applicable anatomy, nomenclature and "dental coordinate system", the waxing-up of all segments of an upper molar and an entire quadrant following NAT. A step-by-step demonstration is given on how to locate contact points, also showing where spaces must be maintained.

Acid reflux-related dental erosion is a topic of increasing relevance. This DVD-ROM presents an exceptional case report documenting a minimally invasive treatment for a severely eroded dentition owing to acid reflux disease. The film highlights the collaboration among a dentist and two dental technicians as they work together to find a treatment strategy to restore the patient's lost vertical dimension and ensure both excellent function and esthetics. The film highlights the use of novel methods and materials, including the "silicone-in-silicone" method in which mock-ups, a therapeutic splint, and temporary overlays are created from the same multiple-use polymerization mold. The exceptional restorative results validate the innovative techniques.
In this follow-up to the highly successful textbook Bonded Porcelain Restorations, the author discusses the biology, mechanics, function, and biomimetic principles of the adhesive revolution. Topics include laminate veneers, bonded porcelain, immediate dentin sealing, reversed crown restoration, "veneerlays," and bonding on implant restorations.
Discusses basic knowledge of x-rays, possible health hazards posed by x-rays, and proper precautions to ensure the safety of the patient and members of the dental health team.
Sleep apnea affects millions of people worldwide, yet according to current estimates, only 5% of cases are diagnosed and treated. Treatment of sleep apnea requires interdisciplinary cooperation between sleep medicine specialists, dentists, and dental technicians.
This three-part DVD provides a complete guide to treating the two main causative bite relationships associated with sleep apnea-the edge-to-edge bite and the deep bite. A mandibular advancement device will not solve the problem in every case, but it does help many patients improve their quality of life and prevent serious complications of the disease. Successful treatment of sleep apnea requires the systematic teamwork of specialists in all three specialty fields and a sound knowledge of the disease.
Oral health and hygiene are a vital part of care for each elderly client. This program will provide you with the necessary procedures for completing an oral exam and will discuss specific conditions and diseases of the mouth. Learn how to recognize and manage these oral issues.
This DVD-ROM presents live-action video demonstrations of laser applications in endodontics, periodontics, oral surgery, and restorative and cosmetic dentistry based on 15 years of research. Concise information on the physics underlying laser technology is followed by the theoretical principles guiding each treatment application. Cases illustrate advantages of laser treatment in daily dental practice and explain how and when dental lasers can be reliably and safely implemented.
The CD-ROM features beautiful images of the skull and clear, sharp radiographs. It provides an excellent review in identifying normal anatomical landmarks on periapical film, full mouth series, and Panograph film. Radiolucent and radiopaque landmarks on periapical film, full mouth series, and a panograph film are also shown. Anatomical features which are raised (prominence) appearing more dense or radiopaque, and anatomical features which are open spaces (hollow) appearing less dense or radiolucent are seen.
The program provides useful instruction for the dental assistant student, and is a good review for the experienced dental assistant and hygienist.
This CD-ROM shows frequently occurring radiographic errors and the correction technique/method for each. It contains subject areas relating to exposure technique, film positioning, processing and other potential errors. The error is introduced, and an explanation of correction follows. The program assists in making judgments for implementing proper techniques, which result in diagnostically acceptable radiographs meeting guidelines of the ADA, AGD, AA of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, and the American Academy of Periodontology.
Good instruction for the dental assistant student and a fine review for the experienced dental assistant and hygienist.
"Tooth Protection" - plants are being bred to produce specific molecules to protect teeth; "Fillings By Numbers" - computers, an infra-red camera and a robot are used to create once-in-a-lifetime fillings; "Glass Teeth" - a new way of protecting the teeth of younger patients with fluoride; "Growing Teeth" - dentists are on the verge of re-growing teeth, eliminating the need for fillings.
This episode focuses on providing modern conservative restorative dentistry treatment focusing on the recognition of tooth fractures.
The clinical situations presented in two patients direct the dentist's attention to recognize and diagnose incomplete tooth fractures and recommendations are provided for definitive clinical treatment.
Transillumination using a LED light curing unit safely discloses internal fractures. Teeth are prepared for restorations, which are placed after the program. Postoperative views of the completed cases are shown.
A full spectrum of options for bonding indirectly created restorations greatly expands the role of dentist in the contemporary restorative practice. This live patient case presentation reviewed the careful planning and systematic coordination of the preparation, temporization, laboratory fabrication and placement of the restorations.
Attendees observed a partial coverage tooth colored restoration seated in a clinical setting. Live interaction with the operatory allowed questions to be asked during the procedure.
This program is a must for any member of the dental team having questions in this area.
This episode consists of several demonstrations on live patients which illustrate the most current use of adhesive materials. Among the demonstrations are the placement of class V and class II composites; a technique for desensitization; sealing crown preparations; the use of several types of impression materials; and how to reduce, if not eliminate, white lines at the margins of posterior composites.
The public demand for aesthetic restorations makes it important to achieve this more rapidly and with increased predictability. This program focuses on accelerated approaches to restorative dentistry.
Topics include: innovative new instrumentation; a rapid, predictable, yet simplified approach to developing the optimal preparation; finish the configurations -what to use and why; impressions materials and methods; temporization-new products for aesthetic success; new all-ceramic systems; new cements with less sensitivity; alternative ceramometal framework designs to avoid dark gum and inflamed tissue; and soft tissue procedures to achieve aesthetic harmony.
