Sedation: A Guide to Patient Management 5th Edition, Stanley F. Malamed DDS

Combining essential theory with “how-to” technical instruction, this concise guide is the leading reference for basic techniques in sedation and anxiety control in the dental office. The latest guidelines from the ADA and the American Society of Anesthesiologists keep you up-to-date with the latest medical standards. Content on patient management for pediatric, geriatric, physically compromised, and medically compromised patients helps you successfully treat any patient population.

This is the 4th edition of a popular textbook presently used by many dental schools in North America. For this edition, Dr. Malamed enlisted the help of Dr. Morris Clark, who co-authored the section on inhalational sedation, as well as Dr. Kenneth Reed, who upgraded the section on medically compromised patients. In addition to the improvements engendered by these co-authors, many of the illustrations and diagrams have been updated, and overall the new edition is superior to the third edition. The primary target audiences are pre- and post-doctoral dental students wishing to learn more about sedation and anxiety control. Increasingly, other medical practitioners such as podiatrists, plastic and reconstructive surgeons, and even gastroenterologists are performing office sedation and they too would find this book very useful.

This is a very good book for the clinician who wants to gain an understanding of proper patient management for the sedated patient, rescue breathing for the over-sedated, and how to properly monitor your sedated patient. This is not the book for a person who wants to do just conscious sedation though. It does review conscious sedation, but not very thoroughly. I recommend this book to anyone wishing to increase their understanding of how to manage your patient during sedation as a whole.

Functional Occlusion: From TMJ to Smile Design 1st Edition, Peter E. Dawson DDS

This book uses an interdisciplinary approach to explain the origin of and possible solutions to many different occlusal problems. Dr. Peter E. Dawson guides the reader along the way providing balanced explanations of theory and technique. He also debunks many popular misconceptions through practical discussion of their origins and the deficiencies of the arguments behind them. Different sides of many philosophies are presented while guiding the reader to the most functional and esthetic solution to various occlusal situations. Hundreds of full-color photographs, illustrations, and diagrams show aspects of the masticatory system, the epidemiology of occlusal problems, and procedures for finding the ideal occlusion. Whether the reader is a general dentist or a specialist, they will find this book applicable to their treatment methods and philosophies.

I've attended over 130 hours of continuing education classes at the Dawson Academy. And, essentially, this book is the teachings of the core concepts of the Dawson philosophy. If you can't afford to spend tens of thousands of dollars like I did attending his center, then this book comes as a close second. The golden nugget of the dawson philosophy is that form follows function. The book is well illustrated with copious amounts of color photos, diagrams and illustrations. I understand that Dr. Dawson did some of the illustrations himself which are fair. I guess I can be a little picky since I have a Master's degree in medical illustration as well as in dentistry. I refer to this book consistently to refresh my memory from the courses I've taken and I also pick up something new each time I read it. The only chapters that I don't pay much attention to are the ones that refer to Dr. Piper's system of classification on TMJ derangements. I tend to refer instead to Dr. Okeson's text book on TMD disorders which is a simpler system for the general dentist. I feel I would have to attend a few of Dr. Piper's course before I felt comfortable using his system. In a nutshell, this is probably Dr. Dawson's final gift to the dental community as he enters his twilight years. He is one of the living legends that I have the greatest respect for. His philosophy ties in well with other master dentists such as Dr. Frank Spear, Dr. John Kois, and Dr. Terry Tanaka.

Well, I have to say that this book has changed my whole practice since I bought it. I'll tell you what: we better have a philosophy to follow in order to treat our patients into a comprehensive approach. We better understand what's behind patient's dental problems in order to fix them and most important, to prevent them from recurring. Dr. Dawson has decades of experience and you're gonna see the results on a daily basis. I can't see a better approach out there for the dentists to treat their patients in a very predictable manner. It doesn't matter if you're a Specialist or a General Dentist. No more guessing on what you're doing! It's a must-have. Trust me.

Essential Neuroscience 2nd Edition, Allan Siegel

As burgeoning research advances the field of neuroscience, instructors face the formidable challenge of imparting this ever-increasing and heterogenous body of information to students. Essential Neuroscience, Second Edition is the coherent, balanced solution.

Rated outstanding with highest 5-star ranking in the Mayo Clinic Proceedings.

This highly acclaimed second edition covers fundamental neuroscience topics, integrating essential information with clinical and physiological considerations, providing students with multiple opportunities for review and self-testing, and presenting the latest relevant developments in neuroscience.

Proven building-block approach preferred by faculty and students alike.

Beginning with the building block of neuroscience, the neuron, the text unfolds the story of human brain function. From analysis of a single neuron, the authors enlarge the discussion to neuronal communication; guide us through the essentials of spinal cord and brain anatomy; detail the sensory, motor, and integrative systems; and finally illustrate the most complex functions and dysfunctions of the nervous system. This stepwise, basic-to-complex approach is the synthesis of 30 years of teaching experience and improves student performance on exams.

The field of neuroscience experienced a major developmental explosion over the past few decades, most of which was related to the extensive acquisition of information from molecular biology, radiology, and neurology linked to the clinical presentation of patients with diverse neurological conditions.

As with most neuroscience books, this one uses a progressive systematic approach that includes the subdivisions of the nervous system, the diverse embryologic developmental steps of the brain and spinal cord, and basic neurovascular anatomy. Also in common with other neuroscience books, there is little explanation of the embryology of intracranial vessels and how variations and neurovascular syndromes should be approached and understood. A unique feature of the book is its correlation with easy Internet access and up-to-date information on basic science clinical correlations. However, it is hard to determine the necessity of a revised first edition. How much more information is presented? Is the manner in which the information is presented more effective for busy students getting ready for the USMLE exams? In my view, the answer to those questions is not certain, ditto the need for a revision.

The authors are both very credible on the subject matter. It covers clinical and nonclinical areas; an historical overview; ethical and legal concerns; risks and benefits; and reviews on pain and anxiety, economical considerations, and physical properties. The best feature is style, as it is very easy to read. It is thus easily available to handle a quick question, or review an area regarding the subject. This is a quality, easy to read handbook about nitrous oxide. For both the neophyte or traditional user, this is a text that can be of benefit to the reader.

Fundamentals of Fixed Prosthodontics 4th Edition, Herbert T. Shillingburg

An introduction to fixed partial dentures and cast metal, metal- ceramic, and all-ceramic restorations, for students and practitioners. Discusses fundamentals of treatment planning, occlusion, and tooth preparation and details the use of specific techniques and instruments, in chapters on articulation of casts, fixed partial denture configurations, preparations for various types of crowns and restorations, investing and casting, and pontics and edentulous ridges. Includes detailed b&w diagrams. This third edition reflects the latest advances in materials, equipment, and techniques.

This is the third edition of this basic fixed prosthodontics reference textbook. Faithful to its beginnings, it contains schematic drawings rather than photographs to graphically illustrate concepts. The purpose is to serve as an introduction to the area of restorative dentistry dealing with fixed partial dentures and cast metal, metal ceramic, and all ceramic restorations. It is meant to provide the background knowledge needed by the novice as well as be a refresher for the practitioner or graduate student. The book is primarily meant for dental students, and secondarily for graduate residents. The content is divided into 28 chapters covering background knowledge of a multitude of aspects pertinent to fixed prosthodontics. Treatment planning, occlusion, articulators and records, tooth preparation, provisionalization, impressions, laboratory procedures from working cast fabrication to soldering techniques, are covered. Much needed chapters on esthetic, all-ceramic restorations, and resin-bonded fixed partial dentures are also presented. Many chapters have been modified to adapt to today's practice, a few deleted, and many added to cover particularly active aspects of dental research (cements and restorative materials, etc.). Additional references are included in the preface, directing the reader to additional specialized texts. Many of the latest developments are covered. This reference book will prove valuable for dental students as a strong base of fundamental information in fixed prosthodontics. Dental school libraries would also benefit from adding this book to the available repertoire.

This is the classic text book on the subject. Get-to-the-point line drawings efficiently and succintly convey their concepts. The text is excellently well-written, with sentences that, unlike those in the vast majority of other dental/medical textbooks, impart to the studier an understanding of the material that even a neophyte would consider comprehensive and intuitive.

Essential Clinical Anatomy 4th Edition, Keith L. Moore MSc PhD FIAC FRSM FAAA

Essential Clinical Anatomy, Fourth Edition presents the core anatomical concepts found in Clinically Oriented Anatomy, Sixth Edition in a concise, easy-to-read, and student-friendly format. This streamlined book that includes clinical Blue Boxes, surface anatomy, and medical imaging is an excellent review for the larger text and an ideal primary text for shorter medical courses and/or health professions courses with brief coverage of anatomy. The Fourth Edition features a modified layout with new and improved artwork. The clinical Blue Boxes are now grouped to reduce interruption of text and are categorized with icons to promote easier comprehension of clinical information. Expanded chapter introductory material includes Clinical Objectives and references to online case studies. A companion website includes fully searchable online text, interactive cases, USMLE-style questions, and clinical Blue Box video podcasts. Online faculty resources include an Image Bank and a Question Bank.

Anatomy is always difficult to learn. With this book it's not just easy, it's interesting! With all the blue boxes giving clinical correlations, you'll always find that anatomy is really important to know and enjoyable to learn. The book manages to give everyday applications of anatomy and also features the surface anatomy pink boxes. In addition, it is very consice. Get it!

They got the title correct. This book is ESSENTIAL! This is the condensed version of Clinically Oriented Anatomy. The diagrams and pictures are taken straight from the bigger text, as well as almost ALL of the chapter material. It looks so much smaller because the font and pictures are a little smaller. They've taken out some fluff to help us keep our sanity. If you've never looked in either book, let me teach you of the beauty of the blue box. You will live by the blue box. These blue boxes contain clinical correlations. They bridge the gap between Gross Anatomy pieces-parts and clinical presentation. This is very very important if your Gross Anatomy class exams contain thinking questions and not simply "what is this structure?" Many of my exam questions have been straight from the blue box. The newest edition also contains a CD-ROM by Grant. It's a great interactive study tool. If you're getting the new Grant's Atlas, you'll probably get doubles of this CD-ROM. My advice is to get a cheaper slightly older version of Grant or Netter Atlas (things haven't changed too much in the past few years) the new Moore Essentials, Grant's Dissector (new or older), and Netter Flash Cards. Sounds like a lot of money, but you're saving on the atlas, the dissector, and the Essentials because it's definitely cheaper than the full "Clinically Oriented Anatomy." Good luck in Gross!

Essentials of Health Behavior: Social and Behavorial Theory in Public Health 1st Edition, Mark Edberg

Health promotion, education, and prevention programs ultimately focus on changing health behavior. Most of these programs rely on a body of knowledge about what motivates and influences human behavior. In order to understand why people behave in healthy (or unhealthy) ways, we must first understand-why do people do what they do? Essentials of Health Behavior provides a broad introduction to the theoretical base used for most behavioral interventions in public health today. The text explores the general body of theory from the disciplines of psychology, sociology, and anthropology to understand and explain human behavior-as well as the contexts for behavior-and introduces the reader to the ways in which theory is applied to prevention and intervention efforts in the United States and around the world.

Features: Filled with real-life examples through which the reader will learn about a range of practical health promotion efforts, including smoking, cancer, cardiovascular disease, HIV/AIDS, maternal and child health, youth violence, and obesity. Uses language that is lively and accessible making it the perfect text for the beginning public health student. Each chapter concludes with questions to engage the reader in further reflection of the topics presented. A dedicated website provides additional resources for the instructor including PowerPoints, test questions, and an instructor's manual. As part of the Essential Public Health series, Essentials of Health Behavior provides all the necessary tools to make informed judgments about how to assess a public health or social problem, implement a program, and measure the results.

Contemporary Orthodontics 5th Edition, William R. Proffit DDS PhD

Now in full color, Contemporary Orthodontics, 5th Edition is a practical resource with a long tradition of excellence. Line drawings and more than 1,000 new color images illustrate concepts more clearly than ever. This book includes detailed information on diagnosis, treatment planning concepts, related problems or controversies, and current treatment procedures, including the role of orthodontics in comprehensive treatment of patients with multiple problems.

This book could well be called "An Encyclopedia of Contemporary Orthodontics" because of its thoroughness both of text and illustrations. The book introduces even the uninitiated to the full range of orthodontic understanding and treatment. However, once past the early chapters, the depth and complexity of the subject become evident and the casual reader will realize that this is an upper level text requiring a background in orthodontics as well as in general dentistry. The authors have used pictures and comparisons to great advantage and the use of color in noting different sections adds interest and clarity to the pages. The previous edition was published in 2000 and this edition has fewer chapters but nine more pages, so it is still heavy.

This is intended as a textbook for dental students and dentists as well as an in-depth resource for full time students of orthodontics, whether still in residency or in practice. The reputation of the authors allows readers and clinicians to proceed with confidence. The material is presented in a clear and precise manner and with a natural progression. Although, in general, the book meets the authors' objectives, it is incomplete in discussing and showing patients with the mixed dentition, having only one lateral photograph of a patient in Chapter 12.

The book covers a full range of topics in orthodontics, presenting them in an orderly fashion. The sections on growth and development, diagnosis and treatment planning, and biomechanics are particularly good. I would have liked some discussion on "model surgery" and multidisciplinary treatment and greater elaboration on the preadolescent. The photographs are of excellent quality. The radiographs on page 104 are an exception, although, by their very nature, they are hard to reproduce to the extent necessary for interpretation. A glossary is unnecessary, considering the intended audience. Another item I consider archaic is the inclusion of photographs of a patient with full bands undergoing Begg treatment.

Written by Dr. Stanley Malamed, dentistry's leading expert on this subject, Handbook of Local Anesthesia is a valuable reference that will help you prevent, recognize, and manage complications of local anesthesia administration.

This book, in my opinion is the best one in the topic of local anesthesia.

This 6th edition is well written, just like the previous one, covering the whole aspect of local anesthesia. This book is important for every one dealing with local anesthesia in the dental field. The chapter of anatomy is marvelous. The book arrived in excellent condition.

Mosby's Review for the NBDE, Part II 1st Edition, Mosby

Mosby's Review for the NBDE, Part II is the perfect study companion for dental students who have passed Part I of the National Dental Board Exam and are preparing for Part II. This complete exam review provides crucial, current information on each of the major disciplines covered in Part II of the NBDE, including Endodontics, Operative Dentistry, Oral/Maxillofacial Surgery & Pain Control, Oral Diagnosis, Orthodontics & Pediatric Dentistry, Patient Management, Periodontics, Pharmacology, and Prosthodontics. Material is presented in a concise, convenient outline format and arranged according to the specifications of the NBDE, utilizing detailed content points and supported by informative examples and illustrations.

I just received my scores for part II and I passed with a relatively high score. Didn't get a 90, but I haven't heard of anyone in my class who has with the new test format. I studied this book in its entirety and also reviewed a few sections of the dental decks and the old ASDA released exams. This book was by far the best resource. There were questions on the exam that I wouldn't have known the answers to if not for this book. The Mosby review was recommended by a friend, and I am SO glad I used this for studying versus the First Aid review book. I used the First Aid review book for part I and found it helpful, so I bought it for part II also thinking it would be the best thing to use. There is no comparison between this book and the First Aid book in terms of content, as this book is much more thorough. It is also very well formatted. I would definitely recommend it to anyone taking NDBE part II.

First Aid for the NBDE Part 1 3rd Edition, Derek Steinbacher

Hundreds and hundreds of questions and answers to help you ace the NBDE Part I!

No other resource gives you the practice questions you need to prepare for the NBDE Part I like First Aid Q&A for the NBDE Part I. The 800 questions focus on what you most need to know in order to pass the exam and include detailed explanations for each answer choice.

The facts are good, but I just don't like how it's formatted. Maybe it's just me, but it's more geared towards memorization of material. If you don't mind the way it's written, then use this. Decks are a little better in explaining things. What I used the most was dentEssentials: High-Yield NBDE Part I Review (Kaplan Dentessentials), Dental Decks Part 1 2009-2010 (National Boards Dental Exam), and Biochem for the Boards. I would def recommend decks, biochem for the boards, and either dentessentials or first aid (depending on what format of writing you like). I did well (took it before P/F and got 91) so feel free to ask me any questions!

Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology 3rd Edition, Brad W. Neville

Be prepared to diagnose and manage any condition you encounter in your practice! This bestselling reference gives you direct access to a complete range of full-color clinical images and patient radiographs that illustrate the differentiating characteristics of lesions in the oral and maxillofacial region. Significantly revised and updated content throughout this edition brings you the latest information on the etiology, clinical features, histopathology, treatment, and prognosis of each disease entity, as well as cutting-edge topics such as bisphosphonate osteonecrosis, the oral complications associated with methamphetamine abuse, solitary fibrous tumors, gene mutation, and plasminogen deficiency.

In dental school there are books you buy to pass the class, and books you plan on using after you graduate. I have a feeling this book will end up serving both purposes. I've spent a fair amount of time reading this text for the several path courses we've taken so far, and I am glad I will have this reference when I am practicing.

This seems like a very comprehensive path book. It has excellent clinical photos, although it would always be nice to see a couple more pictures in path books to see other presentations of a lesion. The text is well written and informative.

I have no experience with other pathology books, but this book is comprehensive enough that I don't anticipate a need to. I'd recommend this book to students and clinicians. Hope this review was helpful. Let me know if you have any questions.

Travell & Simons' Myofascial Pain and Dysfunction: The Trigger Point Manual 2nd Edition, David G. Simons & Janet G. Travell

This Second Edition presents introductory general information on all trigger points and also detailed descriptions of single muscle syndromes for the upper half of the body. It includes 107 new drawings, a number of trigger point release techniques in addition to spray and stretch, and a new chapter on intercostal muscles and diaphragm.

Updates the 1983 edition to mark the transition of the trigger point concept from a syndrome of unknown etiology to an experimentally established neuromuscular disease entity. Also addresses the close interaction between myofascial trigger points and articular dysfunctions at nearly every point examined. Covers pain in the head and neck; upper back, shoulder, and arms; forearms and hands; and torso. Assumes readers to be health care professionals or students who are well trained, or intend to be, in muscle anatomy, physiology, kinesiology, necessary palpitation skills, and recognizing and resolving perpetuating factors.

The Triggger Point Manuals are the definitive texts on myofascial medicine. Myofascial medicine impacts every practitioner of medicine. At least half of the patients in any general practice have myofascial trigger points. This book should not be on your shelves--it should be in your hands! If doctors, nurse practitioners, dentists and physical therapists knew how this book could impact their practice and their patients' lives, the publishers would not be able to keep up with the demand for it. This book carefully explains the difference between fibromyalgia and myofascial pain syndrome, with new findings on the nature of trigger points. The trigger points of the upper body are explained, with their referral patterns, as well as why they can occur, and what to do about them. Every minute you spend with this book will be worth the time.

Janet Travell MD and David Simons MD spent a lifetime studying the patterns and treatment of muscular and soft tissue pain in patients. It is a specialty in itself, and provides an amazingly detailed review of anatomy. These books are the bible on the subject written by the "mother" and "father" of the specialty. There will hardly be a day in the professional life of a busy primary care practitioner, rheumatologist, orthopedist, neurologist, physiatrist or physical therapist when these books will not be used. The more one knows of this field, the more revelations one gets into those difficult chronic pain patients. The etiology and muscular complexity of the huge field of "tension headache" syndromes now become clear. With these books you will have the tools to diagnose and treat effectively (usually dramatically) the entire spectrum of myofascial pain from head to toe, muscle by muscle. Why do so few physicians know of this vital area of medicine?

What child can resist imitating a chimp brushing its teeth back and forth? Or a shark that flosses everyday? Youngsters will have lots of fun learning about proper dental hygiene is this delightful pop-up book.

This pop-up book has movable floss and brushes so that children can learn good dental hygiene by helping their animal friends practice it.

My 2 year old immediately loved this book. We take it to the bathroom and he looks at it while I brush his teeth and he practices on the pop up pictures. He shows everyone who comes to the house this book and talks about the pop up animals and how to brush. I highly recommend this book to any parent having problems getting their small kids used to brushing and flossing.

Cure Tooth Decay: Heal and Prevent Cavities with Nutrition 2nd Edition, Ramiel Nagel

Forget about drilling, filling, and the inevitable billing. Your teeth can heal naturally because they were never designed to decay in the first place! They were designed to remain strong and healthy for your entire life. But the false promises of conventional dentistry have led us down the wrong path, leading to invasive surgical treatments that include fillings, crowns, root canals and dental implants.

Now there is a natural way to take control of your dental health by changing the food that you eat. Cure Tooth Decay is based upon the pioneering nutritional program of dentist Weston Price, former head of research at the National Dental Association. Dr. Price's program proved to be 90-95% or more effective in remineralizing tooth cavities utilizing only nutritional improvements in the diet. Cure Tooth Decay is the result of five years of research and trial and error that started as one father's journey to cure his daughter's rapidly progressing tooth decay.

With Cure Tooth Decay you will join the thousands of people who have learned how to remineralize teeth, eliminate tooth pain or sensitivity, avoid root canals, stop cavities -- sometimes instantaneously, regrow secondary dentin, form new tooth enamel, avoid or minimize gum loss, heal and repair tooth infections, only use dental treatments when medically necessary, save your mouth (and your pocketbook) from thousands of dollars of unneeded dental procedures, and increase your overall health and vitality.

Cure Tooth Decay provides you with clear and easy to understand dental facts to help you make healthy, life-affirming choices about your dental health. It is about healing cavities without dental surgery or fluoride.

Alexander's Care of the Patient in Surgery 14th Edition, Jane C. Rothrock PhD RN CNOR FAAN

For more than 60 years, Alexander's Care of the Patient in Surgery has been an essential resource for perioperative nursing care. The detailed instruction in this thirteenth edition continues in the tradition of providing explanations of more than 400 contemporary and traditional specialty surgical interventions and numerous minimally invasive surgical procedures. In addition, a Special Considerations unit includes separate chapters for ambulatory, pediatric, geriatric, and trauma surgeries, as well as complementary and alternative therapies.

You'll find nearly 1000 full-color illustrations and photos to help you become familiar with surgical anatomy, procedures, methods, and equipment coupled with the latest trends and practices including patient and family education and safety-including the most recent JCAHO initiatives and updated OSHA guidelines regarding workplace safety. Alexander's Care of the Patient in Surgery provides you with all of the information you need to deliver safe, cost-effective, high-quality patient care.

I'm fairly new to peri-operative nursing and have purchased several other books to help me prepare and understand my work better. This is by far the best resource as it gives a great overview of the surgical procedures. I reference it prior to every procedure to which I am assigned. If one is looking for a reference to help with more detail regarding skin preparation, equipment, positioning aids, instrumentation and supplies needed for the procedure, I recommend the Pocket Guide to the Operating Room by Maxine A. Goldman. The combination of these two books has helped me immensely.
