"Bone Density: Physiology, Pathophysiology, Clinical applications" is a concise and practical guide that introduces readers to the fundamental concepts of bone density and its vital role in clinical dentistry and surgical practice. Written in clear and accessible language, the book bridges the gap between theory and clinical application, making it ideal for students and young professionals.
The book begins by highlighting the importance of determining bone density and its influence on implant success rates. It explains the etiology of variable bone density and the biological processes of modeling and remodeling that shape bone structure throughout life. Readers are introduced to bone density classification schemes and learn about different methods used to determine bone density, including clinical and radiographic assessments.
A key feature of the book is its focus on the scientific rationale behind bone density-based treatment planning, illustrating how understanding bone quality improves surgical accuracy and implant outcomes. It also discusses how variations in bone density affect surgical approaches, healing, and treatment plans, along with modifiers that influence clinical decisions.
Compact, illustrated, and easy to follow, "Bone Density: Physiology, Pathophysiology, clinical applications" serves as an essential starting point for mastering bone-related concepts in dentistry and oral surgery.
