(1)A new edition of a classic student text in Endodontics! As did the first edition, the second edition of Tronstad's Clinical Endodontics fills the need for a simple, yet comprehensive textbook in endodontics that serves as an introductory text for dental students, and which is also suitable as a refresher source for general practitioners, postdoctoral students, and entodontists. Having been written by only one author, the book is remarkable for its cohesiveness, clear argumentation, and didactic clarity, which are so important at the introductory level. Clinical Endodontics summarizes the biology of the endodontium and the apical periodontium, and deals with the etiology and pathogenesis of endodontic diseases. Examination methods, diagnosis, and treatment principles are discussed, and main endodontic techniques are described. A final chapter deals with the prognosis of endodontic treatment.The new and second edition has been completely updated and revised, and includes a new chapter on endodontic retreatment.
Book One: captivating true story! After a foolish joke from our ski instructor, I was abandoned on a backcountry ski piste with a concussion of the brain and partial amnesia. Part of myself had deserted me. Needing to find myself I left Patrick, my companion I had wanted to spend my whole life with. Then, an almost 14-year-long search and survival in a kind of second childhood. My strength was my faith in God’s guidance. This path searching for help to recover my strength made me travel to Paris–France, Hamburg and southwest Germany, then Nice–France, Verona–Italy, and finally Los Angeles. It lead me to the TMJ miracle. TMJ? Two keys of life and regeneration from head-to-toe, giving a better flow of cerebrospinal fluid for my extremely sensitive senses, coordination, concentration and…memory. Oh my memory! “TMJ miracle” meant my complete recovery thanks to the right repositioning of the condyle and disc of the TMJ—with orthopedics. A 120-year-old taboo subject hidden from people. “Over 60 million people concerned in America…A failure of the healthcare system worldwide,” expressed Dr. Uppgaard in Taking Control of TMJ. Book Two: Tell us about your positive energy. Debilitated globetrotter, Zoe, at age 35 begins almost 14 years of searching for reasons about her state. A captivating story leading to a never-before-told testimony about two misunderstood, extraordinary joints, and often misdiagnosed disorders associated with them: our TMJ.

(1)Numerous studies have been conducted on the correlation between occlusion and posture. However, because of the multiple somatosensory inputs and various forces that are involved in occlusion, it has been difficult to analyse its relationship with posture. My research has identified a mechanism underlying the association between the oral environment and upright posture during bipedal standing.
The position of the tongue is thought to influence the alignment of the teeth and can cause malocclusion. This research confirmed that the position of the tongue when at rest can greatly influence human posture. It is important to ensure that the adsorption of the tongue to the palate is strong and to correct related defects as early as possible. The position of the tongue is the key to maintaining both good teeth and good posture.
This technique can be adopted by anybody, free of charge, anytime and anywhere. In recent times, there has been a worrying trend for medical expenses to increase worldwide. Good posture can have significant health-related benefits
The general treatment procedure for dentofacial is completed by pre-operative orthodontics, orthognathic surgery, and post-operative orthodontics treatment, in such order.
Even though this conventional procedure shows relatively satisfactory results, it has critical drawbacks that the facial profile worsens during the pre-operative orthodontics and the period of total orthodontic treatment is too long.
This is a book that introduces so-called surgery first orthodontic treatment, in which the operator calculates the amount that will be corrected by pre-operative orthodontics and sets up the treatment plan including post-operative orthodontics.
Based on the treatment experience until now, we included the cases which this new treatment method exactly resulted in what conventional treatment would have done. Even In case which surgery first orthodonthic approach seem difficult, in future it could be applicable depends on our efforts. It has come to an idea that this method is a better physiological treatment than the conventional one.
Above all things, we tried to reduce patients inconvenience by minimizing the period of pre-operative orthodontics on cases which surgery first orthodonthic approach seem difficult.
This book presents all research data about the surgery first orthodonthic approach and explains the concept, the method, and the real cases of the surgery first orthodonthic approach. So we hope this book would be helpful to the orthodontists and maxillofacial plastic surgeons that are interest in this method.
