Book Description
This book provides a thorough update on Sjögren’s syndrome (SS) and its adverse impacts on oral health. The opening section focuses on the clinical and laboratory characteristics of SS and its current management. Here, readers will find information on diagnostic criteria, pharmacotherapy, dental management, and the importance of saliva in oral health and SS. Attention then turns to the immunopathogenesis of SS, which includes the mechanisms of secretory dysfunction, myoepithelial cell functions in salivary gland physiology and disease, dysregulated innate and adaptive immunity, and B-cell expansion and neoplasia. The final section details important advances in SS diagnosis and therapy. The differential diagnoses of recurrent glandular swelling, glandular irrigation and sialendoscopy, and salivary gland ultrasound for SS in children are explained, along with the pharmacological management for SS, clinical care for dry eyes, and gene therapy. This book will be of interest to not only dental practitioners and researchers but also rheumatologists and pathologists.

Book Description
This book is the first to be devoted to translational research – which aims to expedite the transfer of knowledge gained in the lab to clinical practice – within the field of oral health. It is examined how basic sciences and basic research are providing new methods and materials that will enable clinicians to treat patients more effectively. Readers will gain a translational perspective on a variety of oral conditions and related systemic diseases. Individual chapters are devoted to such topics as dental biomaterials, implants, and tissue engineering. The importance of evidence-based research and the roles and comparative value of preclinical and clinical trials are also highlighted. Knowledge of translational and clinical research is essential in understanding how new inventions and developments are being accomplished, and what regulations and guidelines need to be taken into account when planning studies, and not forgetting the ethical aspects of any research. Translational Oral Health Research is the first book to be devoted entirely to the subject, and it will be of interest to both researchers and practitioners.

Book Description
Many diseases can have an impact upon oral health and/or the safe delivery of dental care. Consequently, oral health care providers need to be comfortable with assessing the risk of providing dental care to their patients with systemic disease as well as the evaluation of oral conditions that may represent manifestations or consequences of systemic disease. Risk Assessment and Oral Diagnostics in Clinical Dentistry aims to enable the dental practitioner to comfortably and capably assess when medical conditions may impact dental care and diagnose oral conditions using routine testing modalities. This clinical guide contains succinct and detailed text with visual aids regarding how to obtain and perform diagnostic tests, how to interpret these tests, and the implications of tests results upon the management of medically complex dental patients and patients with oral conditions. Color photographs show conditions, testing equipment, and test results. An appendix highlights the ten most common oral medicine disorders encountered in dental practice.

Book Description
Oral infections and inflammations can affect the overall health of the oral cavity. Dentists strongly recommend the maintenance of oral hygiene for the prevention of oral diseases. General guidelines of ensuring good oral health include brushing twice daily and using flossettes, floss and interdental brushes. Regular checkups for professional evaluation and cleaning are highly recommended. The most common types of dental disease are gum diseases and tooth decay. Limiting the intake of snacks and eating a balanced diet can help prevent periodontal disease and tooth decay. The mouth may be affected by several cutaneous and gastrointestinal conditions. Pathological conditions in the biofilm surrounding the teeth lead to plaque-induced diseases. Oral medicine aims to treat lichen planus, pemphigus vulgaris and Behçet's disease. The diagnosis and follow-up care of pre-malignant lesions of the oral cavity, chronic and acute pain conditions relative to myofascial pain, paroxysmal neuralgias and atypical facial pain, among others. It also involves the management of temporomandibular joint disorder, trigeminal neuralgia, Sjögren's syndrome, etc. This book is a clinical guide to oral health and medicine and unravels the recent studies in these disciplines. Researchers and students in this field will be assisted by this book.
