Anesthesia Considerations for the Oral
and Maxillofacial Surgeon
Matthew Mizukawa, Samuel J McKenna & Luis G.Vega
Although office-based anesthesia administration has been essential in the evolution of
outpatient surgery, it is becoming more complex as people live longer and with more
comorbid diseases. The purpose of this book is to strengthen the margin of safety of
office-based anesthesia administration by helping practitioners determine whether the
patients they treat are good candidates for office-based anesthesia.
This book is organized into three sections. The first section provides a review of
the principles of anesthesia, including the pharmacology of anesthetic agents, local
anesthesia, patient monitoring, preoperative evaluation, the airway, and management of
emergencies and complications. The major organ systems of the body are reviewed in
section two, and the most common comorbid conditions that affect these systems are
described in terms of their pathophysiology, diagnosis, management, and anesthesiarelated considerations. Section three reviews patient groups that warrant special
consideration in the administration of office-based anesthesia, such as geriatric,
pediatric, pregnant, and obese patients. Spiral-bound and featuring tabs for quick and
easy reference, this important book belongs on the shelf of every clinician who provides
anesthesia in the office setting.

Shortcuts in Esthetic Dentistry
Ronaldo Hirata
This clinically driven text focuses on the difficulties of esthetic restorative dentistry with
the aim of revealing simple and practical solutions to common questions and problems.
Each chapter is organized into a series of questions the reader may have; the book
then answers these questions in detail using scientific evidence and case presentations.
The author presents streamlined procedures step by step and provides numerous tips
on how to implement the concepts described. Restoration strategies include guidance
on recontouring, stratification schemes, layering techniques, characterization, occlusal
concepts, and more.
Accessible and minimalist in its approach, this deceptively thorough book demystifies
contemporary esthetic dentistry and outlines simple and effective solutions for clinical
practice. Clinicians will find themselves referring back to this text long after the first readthrough for quick, easy-to-find answers and solutions to some of esthetic dentistry's
most common problems.

Color in Dentistry: A Clinical Guide to Predictable Esthetics
Stephen J. Chu, Rade D. Paravina, Irena Sailer & Adam J. Mieleszko
Predictable shade matching in dentistry remains a significant challenge for clinicians
in daily practice. Color is an important aspect in the esthetics of teeth and dental
restoration fabrication, and color discrepancy can mar restorative results, even when
other aspects (marginal fit, occlusion, and morphology) are adequate. This book provides
step-by-step protocols to help dental professionals accurately match, communicate,
and reproduce the color of teeth and gingiva. These authors demonstrate how to
implement color science in simple problem-solving instructions for predictable esthetics
in both clinical protocols and laboratory techniques. An extensive presentation of
clinical cases is included to illustrate the use of recommended protocols in general
practice. An outstanding contribution to the practice and theory of color management in
contemporary dentistry.
