This text provides a framework for treating both common and uncommon emergencies in the dental office. It also promotes understanding of the many underlying disease states that can precipitate such emergencies. A wide variety of medical emergencies are discussed and illustrated with real life case scenarios. These range from treating a child with an epileptic seizure to treating a schizophrenic patient. The text draws upon the knowledge and expertise of a diverse group of dentists throughout the country.Bennett and Rosenberg approach the diagnosis and treatment of medical emergencies in dental practice by presenting a concise review of pathophysiology to support clinical correlations. Successful outcomes in emergency situations depend to a great extent upon constant review and training of the office staff prior to the event. Suitable for students and practitioners alike, Medical Emergencies in Dentistry gives readers the solid foundation to react quickly, decisively and correctly when time is of the essence in managing emergent situations.

Co-authored by two respected maxillofacial surgeons, this new book is invaluable for all trainees in oral and maxillofacial surgery. It is also a useful reference for plastic and otolaryngology trainees, as well as general, orthopaedic and accident surgeons.

Paperback
9 7 8 - 0 - 7 2 3 6 - 1 0 7 1 - 7

A user-friendly instruction book based on Geoffrey Howe's original text written in the 1970's. It retains the unchanged principles underpinning the extraction of teeth and established techniques of surgical management, whilst incorporating the changes which have taken place in key areas of practice. New sections have been added on subjects such as the use of general anaesthetic and the medico-legal climate.A virtual 'Apprentice's Manual', this practical guide takes the student through basic procedures in simple steps, thus underpinning more theoretical teaching provided elsewhere. The author begins with the principles of tooth extraction then goes on to advise on the use of radiographs and the administration of anaesthesia. Surgical removal of teeth is also covered, and a complete section deals with possible complications and their management. This new book not only provides students with the fundamental knowledge needed to perform their first tooth extraction but also prepares them for more complicated techniques they may need to use later on. It should be an essential purchase for every dental undergraduate.
