(1)This text examines all aspects of occlusion and the relationship between occlusion and the various biologic mechanisms and functions of the body.
(52)Is your child hiding his or her smile? Are you worried about how his or her (crooked) smile might affect his future? If so, speaker, teacher and author Dr. Dustin Burleson has a message for you and your child: "Stop Hiding Your Smile!" Stop Hiding Your Smile is a guide for parents who are unfamiliar with orthodontics. Maybe you never had braces as a child, but you want to provide this important investment for your children. Like any unfamiliar endeavor, the initial steps can be overwhelming. Giving you the confidence to make decisions about the timing of your child's orthodontic treatment is the basic goal of this publication. In fact, this book answers two dozen of the most commonly asked questions about orthodontics. Stop Hiding Your Smile is easy to read and will serve as a quick reference and valuable resource in the journey of improving your child's smile.
(3)Ultrasound in Liquid and Solid Metals focuses on the effect of intensive ultrasound on metals, including the analysis of the development of cavitation and acoustic flows in melts, mechanism of metals' spraying and crystallization, the formation of dislocation structure in crystals, diffusion, phase transformation, and plastic deformation. Physical fundamentals of intensive ultrasound effects are covered, and detailed discussions are presented on the engineering principles of equipment and material design for the practical use of ultrasound in the refining of melts, crystallization of ingots and molds, pulverization, plating, pressure working of metals, surface strengthening, and other processes.

Postulating that biologic equilibrium of the masticatory system must be a fundamental concern of all restorative dentists, the author hopes to sidestep controversy by presenting a scientific and functional guide to the masticatory system. Key conceptual and diagnostic issues - such as maxillomandibular relations and movement, use of articulators, and differential diagnosis of maxillofacial pain - serve as the foundation for the following chapters, which address clinical aspects of occlusal treatment: diagnosis and treatment protocol, fabrication of bite splints, treatment of temporomandibular disorders, the creation of functional restorations, occlusal adjustment, and treatment of malocclusion. This book should be required reading for all clinicians, so they may understand the effects of their treatment on the patient's occlusion.

Comprehensive Occlusal Concepts in Clinical Practice aims to provide a clear and thorough guide to the understanding and application of occlusal concepts in the dental practice, enabling dentists to gain a straightforward understanding of widely recognized occlusal principles and practices to engender longevity, predictability, and professional confidence in everyday dental procedures. Comprehensive Occlusal Concepts in Clinical Practice also features a comprehensive review of occlusal and periodontal literature, establishes occlusal principles and practice protocols as routine, and aids in developing the reader’s critical ability to know when and when not to perform occlusal therapy. This is a unique book in its scope, thoroughness, and practicality, making occlusal concepts easily understood, yet also demonstrating the specific skills needed to perform the details of a physiologic occlusal scheme.
Covering both new and proven techniques in this rapidly changing field, this classic text helps you provide solutions to many common occlusal and TMD problems. Clear descriptions and a new full-color design promote a complete understanding of normal, abnormal, and dysfunctional occlusal relationships and masticatory function and dysfunction. With its conservative, cost-effective approach, this book shows you how to achieve treatment goals while keeping your patients' best interests in mind.
(10)With step-by-step guidelines for patient diagnosis and treatment, this classic text provides a logical and practical approach to the study of occlusion and masticatory function. Physical examination of the masticatory system is given comprehensive coverage, to aid in formulating an accurate diagnosis and planning successful treatment.
