Written for the oral and maxillofacial surgeon and other dental and medical specialists who deal with pathologies in the oral cavity, midface, and neck, this clinically oriented book addresses the underlying mechanism of each disease and how that dictates its clinical and radiographic presentation; the process of determining a differential diagnosis for each disease or condition; specific treatment recommendations that the authors use or have researched as the most beneficial; and the prognosis after treatment. A specific aim of this book is to challenge many long-held concepts that are no longer valid, but that nevertheless have been passed down to succeeding generations of dental and medical school students. Another aim is to eliminate illogical and confusing terminology that only reinforces misconceptions about the underlying cause of specific diseases. Above all, the authors seek to increase the knowledge and understanding of oral and maxillofacial surgeons and others entrusted with the care of these patients.

Since it was first identified in 2003, bisphosphonate-induced osteonecrosis has come under growing scrutiny by medical and dental specialists alike because it affects cancer patients receiving intravenous bisphosphonate therapy and osteoporosis patients receiving oral bisphosphonate therapy and yet its presentation of exposed bone is limited to the jaws. Based on a clear understanding of the disease mechanism and documented outcomes of the relatively small number of cases treated to date, this timely book presents definitive treatment protocols for patients who present at each stage in its progression. Equally important, it offers a simple method for predicting risk as well as crucial recommendations for steps that can be taken to prevent the disease from developing when bisphosphonate therapy is indicated. Finally, a series of comprehensive case histories related to both oral and intravenous bisphosphonates provide direct guidance in managing patients spanning the full presentation spectrum. Contents 1. Description and History of Bisphosphonate-Induced Osteonecrosis of the Jaws 2. Modes of Action and Pharmacokinetics of the Bisphosphonate Family 3. Medical Indications for Bisphosphonates 4. Osteopetrosis: A Genetic Analogue to Bisphosphonate-Induced Osteonecrosis of the Jaws 5.

Due to the growing demand for dental implant related ridge augmentation procedures as well as tumor- and trauma-related reconstruction, expertise in bone graft harvesting remains crucial. Because of anatomical and morphologic variations between individuals, harvesting of autogenous bone can pose a significant challenge for surgeons. This authoritative atlas presents a detailed step-by-step approach to mastering the applied surgical techniques required for harvesting bone from intraoral and extraoral sites for use in both major and minor reconstructive procedures. Drawing on their many years of clinical experience, the authors guide readers to a thorough understanding of each donor site by addressing the following topics in systematic fashion: indications and contraindications; anatomy; patient positioning; surgical approach; dressings and drains; postoperative care and instructions; complications and their management; and modifications for children. Featuring an abundance of surgical p

Atlas of Oral and Extraoral Bone Harvesting

This award-winning clinical text covers the vast array of conditions that oral and maxillofacial surgeons need to be prepared to identify and treat, ranging from common reactive disorders to carcinoma to rare salivary gland neoplasms to malignancies of bone. In addition to its clinical presentation, each disease entity includes its pathogenesis, differential diagnosis, diagnostic work-up, histopathology, treatment, and prognosis, offering the reader the complete context necessary for understanding and managing it. This updated two-volume edition includes several new disease entities, the latest information on recognizing and treating previously described conditions, and new clinical images and cases that better portray the clinical presentation and/or treatment of specific diseases. Significant additions include the section on bisphosphonate-induced osteonecrosis of the jaws (BIONJ), which includes over 50 new images and outlines the complete staging and treatment for both oral and intravenous BIONJ, and the incorporation of new reconstructive techniques using recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein, stem cell concentrates, and tissue-engineering principles where appropriate. An essential reference for any oral and maxillofacial surgeon or resident. Contents 1. Biopsy Principles and Techniques 2. Inflammatory and Reactive Diseases of the Oral and Maxillofacial Region 3.

Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology: A Rationale for Diagnosis and Treatment

While most dentists do not perform their own histologic testing, all dentists must be able to recognize conditions that may require biopsy or further treatment outside the dentist office. This book does not pretend to be an exhaustive resource on oral pathology; instead, it seeks to provide the practicing clinician with enough information to help identify or at least narrow down the differential for every common lesion or oral manifestation of disease seen in daily practice as well as what to do about them. Organized by type of lesion, mass, or disease, each pathologic entity presented includes the nature of the disease; its predilections, clinical features, radiographic presentation, differential diagnosis, and microscopic features; and the suggested course of action for the dental practitioner as well as the standard treatment regimen. In keeping with the concise nature of the text, all but the rarest disease entities include at least one photograph to illustrate the clinical conditi

This unique reference provides a comprehensive guide to pediatric head and neck pathology in patients up to the age of 21. Chapters take a clinicopathologic approach, offering insight into the pathobiology, diagnosis and treatment of both common and rare disorders. Imaging studies and immunohistochemical techniques are discussed alongside accepted and emerging molecular tools. The authors' holistic approach ensures coverage of the surgical management principles that pathologists must understand, particularly when called upon to diagnose odontogenic tumors and cysts, as well as benign and malignant salivary gland neoplasms. The book is richly illustrated in color throughout. Each copy of the printed book is packaged with a password, providing online access to the book's text and image library. Written by leaders in head and neck pathology and surgery, this is an essential guide to solving the diagnostic dilemmas that pathologists and clinicians encounter in the assessment of pediatric head and neck disease.

This guide shows dental and oral and maxillofacial surgeons how to diagnose, prevent, and treat drug-induced osteonecrosis of the jaws. It explains how specific medications can cause this condition; the prevention and management of it in patients treated for osteopenia, osteoporosis, and cancer; antibiotic protocols that can control secondary infection; and a staging system for disease assessment and treatment planning. Sample cases are provided throughout, with patient evaluation information, a suggested course of action, and rationales. Annotation ©2022 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
