Clinical Atlas of Retreatment in Endodontics 1st Edition

Clinical Atlas of Retreatment in Endodontics 1st Edition

CLINICAL ATLAS OF RETREATMENT IN ENDODONTICS

Explore a comprehensive pictorial guide to the retreatment of root canals and failed endodontic cases with step-by-step advice on retreatment management

Clinical Atlas of Retreatment in Endodontics delivers an image-based reference to the management of failed root canal cases. It provides evidence-based strategies and detailed clinical explanations to manage and retreat previous endodontically failed cases. It contains concrete evidence-based and practical techniques accompanied by full-colour, self-explanatory clinical photographs taking the reader through a journey of successful management of the failed clinical cases.

Using a variety of clinical cases, the book demonstrates why and how endodontic failures occur, how to prevent them, and how to manage them in clinical practice. It also emphasises on evaluating the restorability and prognosis of the tooth in order to make a proper case selection for providing retreatment. This book also discusses the various factors that can help the clinician to make a case for nonsurgical or surgical retreatment. Readers will benefit from the inclusion of clinical cases that provide:

  • A thorough introduction to perforation repair, with a clinical case that includes the repair of pulpal floor perforation caused due to excessive cutting of the floor of the pulp chamber
  • An explanation of various factors for instrument separation, supported with a case that includes the removal of a fractured instrument
  • Practical discussions of instrument retrieval, with a case that includes a fractured instrument at the apical third of mandibular molar
  • A step wise pictorial description for guided root canal therapy
  • Selective root canal treatment as a treatment option for retreatment of failed endodontic cases
  • A detailed clinical description for how to explore and modify the endodontic access cavity for locating extra/missed canals

Perfect for endodontists, endodontic residents, and general dentists, Clinical Atlas of Retreatment in Endodontics is also useful for undergraduate dental students and private practitioners who wish to improve their understanding of endodontic retreatment and are looking for a one-stop reference on the subject.

Evolution and Development: Conceptual Issues (Elements in the Philosophy of Biology)

Evolution and Development: Conceptual Issues (Elements in the Philosophy of Biology)

The intersection of development and evolution has always harbored conceptual issues, but many of these are on display in contemporary evolutionary developmental biology (evo-devo). These issues include: (1) the precise constitution of evo-devo, with its focus on both the evolution of development and the developmental basis of evolution, and how it fits within evolutionary theory; (2) the nature of evo-devo model systems that comprise the material of comparative and experimental research; (3) the puzzle of how to understand the widely used notion of ‘conserved mechanisms’; (4) the definition of evolutionary novelties and expectations for how to explain them; and (5) the demand of interdisciplinary collaboration that derives from investigating complex phenomena at key moments in the history of life, such as the fin-limb transition. This Element treats these conceptual issues with close attention to both empirical detail and scientific practice to offer new perspectives on evolution and development. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Sort – Structured Orthodontic Resident’s Training Program

Sort – Structured Orthodontic Resident’s Training Program

SORT Programme
A Structured Orthodontic Resident’s TrainingProgramme
A structured training programme is presented here,which is intended for any four-year postgraduate degree/ diploma inOrthodontics. A total of VIII modules have been developed, each of six monthsduration and the whole course is divided in these VIII modules. Its first four modulesare structured in a way that they can be used for any two-years trainingprogramme.
The programme has been devised in a structured format,whereby, the whole training is patient-centered and follows the actualtreatment sequence. Module-I is about activation of prior knowledge of basicmedical and dental sciences and attainment of basic clinical knowledge andskills to prepare the residents for an empathetic patient care. Real patientencounter starts in Module-II and from here onwards, all areas of respectivemodules are according to treatment requirements at different stages. Eachmodule has six distinct areas, i.e., Learning Objectives, Topics to be Covered,Reading List, Table of Specifications, Assessment Methods and Check List.
 
After successfuladoption of this modular form of teaching, residents should attain theappropriate knowledge, proper attitudes and basic skills of orthodontics. Thisprogramme also enables the resident to develop a sense of professionalism,knowledge about medical ethics, scientific attitude, an inquisitive mind and aquest for research and Continuing Professional Development. A modular form ofpostgraduate training in orthodontics is suggested with an intention tostandardize Orthodontic training across the country.

Biophysics of Computation: Information Processing in Single Neurons (Computational Neuroscience Series) 1st Edition

Biophysics of Computation: Information Processing in Single Neurons (Computational Neuroscience Series) 1st Edition

Neural network research often builds on the fiction that neurons are simple linear threshold units, completely neglecting the highly dynamic and complex nature of synapses, dendrites, and voltage-dependent ionic currents. Biophysics of Computation: Information Processing in Single Neurons challenges this notion, using richly detailed experimental and theoretical findings from cellular biophysics to explain the repertoire of computational functions available to single neurons. The author shows how individual nerve cells can multiply, integrate, or delay synaptic inputs and how information can be encoded in the voltage across the membrane, in the intracellular calcium concentration, or in the timing of individual spikes.

Key topics covered include the linear cable equation; cable theory as applied to passive dendritic trees and dendritic spines; chemical and electrical synapses and how to treat them from a computational point of view; nonlinear interactions of synaptic input in passive and active dendritic trees; the Hodgkin-Huxley model of action potential generation and propagation; phase space analysis; linking stochastic ionic channels to membrane-dependent currents; calcium and potassium currents and their role in information processing; the role of diffusion, buffering and binding of calcium, and other messenger systems in information processing and storage; short- and long-term models of synaptic plasticity; simplified models of single cells; stochastic aspects of neuronal firing; the nature of the neuronal code; and unconventional models of sub-cellular computation.

Biophysics of Computation: Information Processing in Single Neurons serves as an ideal text for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in cellular biophysics, computational neuroscience, and neural networks, and will appeal to students and professionals in neuroscience, electrical and computer engineering, and physics.

Epidemiology is a subject of growing importance, as witnessed by its role in the description and prediction of the impact of new diseases such as AIDS and new-variant CJD.

Epidemiology: Study Design and Data Analysis covers the whole spectrum of standard analytical techniques used in epidemiology, from descriptive techniques in report writing to model diagnostics from generalized linear models.

The author discusses the advantages, disadvantages, and alternatives to case-control, cohort and intervention studies and details such crucial concepts as incidence, prevalence, confounding and interaction. Many exercises are provided, based on real epidemiological data sets collected from all over the world. The data sets are also available on an associated web site. Epidemiology: Study Design and Data Analysis will be an invaluable textbook for statistics and medical students studying epidemiology, and a standard reference for practicing epidemiologists.
