Download or read book The Neurobiology of Orthodontics written by Margaritis Z. Pimenidis and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-07-24 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the neurobiology of orthodontics according to the most recently acquired knowledge on the interaction of the brain activity with the senses. In particular, it highlights the ability of orofacial sensory input to modulate and change the brain activity underlying functions of the stomatognathic system, such as chewing, biting, speech, and occlusal feedback. The approach adopted thereby represents a significant departure from traditional orthodontics, in which malocclusions of the teeth have been interpreted as deriving from DNA coding errors. The described new conceptualization of the etiology and diagnosis of malocclusions has profound implications for orthodontic therapy, as is clearly explained. Orthodontic therapy in turn has significant effects on the brain, which are documented in a chapter devoted to neuroimaging methods. By opening up new and creative pathways in the world of orthodontics, this book will hopefully both educate and excite the practitioner. It is recommended reading for all orthodontists.
Download or read book Tooth Movement written by A. Kantarci and published by Karger Medical and Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 2015-11-24 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the intention of improving the rate, quality, and stability of orthodontic tooth movement, those in the field are now moving toward accomplishing this 'acceleration' with minimally or non-invasive methods. New procedures have been widely tested in humans, animal models, and in vitro. While interest is growing both in the industry and at the clinical level, the understanding of the biology is limited. Considering that a simple increase in force will result in tooth morbidity and arrest of the tooth migration, a multi-disciplinary approach is critical for success. This publication brings together multi-disciplinary expertise on a wide variety of processes related to and involved in orthodontic tooth movement. The premise is that, by better understanding the biological structures and the mechanism through which they respond to biomechanical forces, one can get a better assessment of the 'acceleration'. This work presents research aimed at an improved understanding of conventional and accelerated orthodontic tooth movement from a biological perspective and will be of great value to clinicians, researchers, academics, and students.

Download or read book Effective and Efficient Orthodontic Tooth Movement written by James A. McNamara and published by Needham Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Orthodontics is the presumed beneficiary of a variety of new technologies and protocols intended to hasten tooth movement, improve outcomes, and streamline treatment. Some are supported by data, some are not. This volume focuses on the biology and biomechanics of tooth movement, with emphasis on effectiveness and efficiency. The claims of supporters -- ardent and otherwise -- are examined via evidence-based studies that look at such techniques du jour as corticotomies, self-ligating bracket systems, temporary anchorage devices, and proposed pharmacological adjuncts. In addition, canine impaction and primary failure of eruption are discussed. The genetic basis of such clinical problems as root resorption also is considered. Contributors to this volume include Charles Burstone, Peter Miles, Tiziano Baccetti, Nan Hatch, James Hartsfield, Haluk Y_eri, Ravindra Nanda, Peter Buschang, and Flavio Uribe, Lorenzo Franchi, Sylvia Frazier-Bowers, Dan Grauer, Laura Iwasaki, Giuseppe Perinetti and Chester Handelman.
Download or read book Craniofacial Muscles written by Linda K. McLoon and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-09-13 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of the approximately 640 muscles in the human body, over 10% of them are found in the craniofacial region. The craniofacial muscles are involved in a number of crucial non-locomotor activities, and are critical to the most basic functions of life, including vision, taste, chewing and food manipulation, swallowing, respiration, speech, as well as regulating facial expression and controlling facial aperture patency. Despite their importance, the biology of these small skeletal muscles is relatively unexplored. Only recently have we begun to understand their unique embryonic development and the genes that control it and characteristic features that separate them from the skeletal muscle stereotype. This book is the most comprehensive reference to date on craniofacial muscle development, structure, function, and disease. It details the state-of-the-art basic science of the craniofacial muscles, and describes their unique response to major neuromuscular conditions. Most importantly, the text highlights how the craniofacial muscles are different from most skeletal muscles, and why they have been viewed as a distinct allotype. In addition, the text points to major gaps in our knowledge about these very important skeletal muscles and identified key gaps in our knowledge and areas primed for further study and discovery.

Download or read book Chronic Pain Management in General and Hospital Practice written by Koki Shimoji and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-07-27 with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers a range of topics, from the cause and identity of pain, to pain relief management. Starting from the mechanism of pain, it continues to pain management techniques such as nerve blocks, drugs (pain killers), noninvasive manipulations psychological techniques and electric management, before describing the management of various painful conditions such as headaches, back pain, extremities pain, post-herpetic pain or complex regional pain syndrome. It also provides the format of case reports which can be used to explain management options. A novel feature of the book is that it provides additional insights into how clinicians involve patients in treating their own pain through guided self-assessment and self-management. Recent studies have revealed that pain is not only a biological alarm that warns of disease, but can also be the disease itself, or the catalyst of a vicious circle of pain and disease. Providing rapid pain relief is often effective in sparking the rapid recovery from various diseases. This book offers the perfect guide for all clinicians, not only those working at pain clinics but all those who have to treat patients who are in pain.
