Infos

Mineralized Tissues in Oral and Craniofacial Science is a
major comprehensive update on knowledge in the field of mineralized
tissues in the oral and craniofacial region. Drs. McCauley and
Somerman assembled an international team of researchers and
clinicians, offering a global perspective on the current knowledge
in this field. Basic and clinical correlates reinforce the
significance of research to clinical diagnoses and therapies,
written in a manner that lends easily to their use for case study
teaching venues.



Section 1 features the many aspects of bone in the craniofacial
region, including embryology, cell biology, and stem cell biology.
Section 2 focuses on teeth-tooth development, dentin, enamel,
cementum, and tooth regeneration. Section 3 discusses the
interaction between bones and teeth, including those associated
with inflammatory processes, periodontal ligaments, biomechanics,
and other impact factors-such as nutrition, metabolic bone diseases
and therapeutic modalities.

The novel approach of linking the basic principles of the cell
and molecular biology of hard tissues to clinical correlates will
appeal to readers at all levels of their research careers, both
students and faculty; faculty interested in a comprehensive text
for reference; and clinicians interested in the biologic
aspects of bones and teeth.

Rezensionen

"Notwithstanding these minor points, the book is very well
structured and provides a comprehensive overview of all the
mineralized tissues in in the craniofacial complex, with
interesting aspects of the requirements for successful clinical
applications." (Implant Dentistry, 1 June
2013)

"In summary , this book is commendable for the
extent of its content and its ability to remain up to date.
It serves the needs not only of first-year students , but
also of various specialists in training and all practitioners
looking for a rationale in their diagnosis and
treatment." (British Dental Journal, 8 December
2012)
