The new edition of this highly successful book continues to offer readers everything they require to gain a full understanding of microbiology as it relates to modern dental practice. Clearly written and in full colour throughout, the book uniquely divides the subject of microbiology into six discrete sections to relate the many aspects of microbiology for dental practice in a logical, easy-to-understand manner. The first part of the book covers the principles of general microbiology and is followed by a clear and straightforward account of basic immunology. The volume then addresses mechanisms of disease, concentrating clearly on the micro-organisms that are relevant to the dentist. The major infections of each organ system are discussed as they relate to dental practice together with a detailed exploration of oral microbiology. The book finally concludes with a practical discussion of cross-infection and control. The rich combination of easy-to-read text together with the extensive artwork programme continues to make Essential Microbiology for Dentistry the first choice of microbiology textbook for many students of dentistry worldwide. Comprehensive coverage of the subject area makes the book suitable for all aspects of the curriculum Almost 300 tables and illustrations present clinical, diagnostic and practical information in an easy-to-follow manner Contains ‘Key Facts’ boxes to act as useful aide-mémoires Self-assessment sections at the end of each chapter allow students to assess their understanding in key areas of knowledge Addresses the subject on a strictly ‘need-to-know for the dentist’ approach [e.g. only salient bacteria are included with thumbnail sketches of viruses and fungi] Contains a detailed - and now expanded - glossary and abbreviations list Contains the latest organism nomenclature and information regarding unculturable bacteria and novel molecular technology Includes a highly expanded section on oral biofilms and their relevance to systemic disease such as heart disease, diabetes, adverse pregnancy outcomes and nosocomial pneumonia Contains a brand new section on oral immunology – prepared by guest authors – as relevant to dentistry Contains a new section on the microbiology of perimplantitis Presents a fully revised and expanded section on infection control in dentistry encompassing British and American guidelines

The new edition of a highly successful book, this text covers both general and oral microbiology, concentrating on areas of direct relevance to clinical dentistry. It offers information on systemic infections that patients may have, plus more specific information on oral infections that may cause caries or periodontal disease. In-depth coverage includes immunology, infection control, and a glossary of immunological and bacteriological terms. Comprehensive but concise coverage of general microbiology, immunology, microbes and infections of relevance to dentistry, oral microbiology, and cross-infection and control.Careful integration of clinical dentistry throughout, bringing the subject alive for the dental student and facilitating the new problem-based learning curricula used in many dental schools.Covers both general and oral microbiology in one book.Key Fact boxes, tables, colour illustrations, and concise text make the book easy to use and learn from. Total update of the text.New question-and-answer sections for self-review at the end of each chapter.New sections on uncultivable bacteria, biofilms, emerging infections, SARS coronavirus infection, avian flu, prion diseases, drug resistant bacteria and the latest American and British recommendations on infection control procedures.New material on advances in molecular biology relevant to infectious diseases and on new taxonomy and nomenclature.

Primary Care E-Book

A sound knowledge of microbiology is essential for all dental professionals – it’s the key to understanding major oral pathologies, from tooth decay to gum disease, as well as the regimentation of infection control in a successful dental practice. Samaranayake’s Essential Microbiology for Dentistry once again, provides a comprehensive coverage of the basics of clinical oral microbiology and immunology and their relevance to oral disease, as well as the cotemporary discoveries of the oral microbiome, and the constituent flora. Both the novice student, as well as the experienced professionals are guided, in a stepwise manner, through a tour of the microbial world and how they impact oral health. The reasoned, bare bones approach to the essential elements of the subject is, as in previous editions fresh, lucid and logical. The sixth edition of this popular book, now translated into four different languages, has been fully revised and reformatted and includes brand new sections on emerging topics such as COVID-19 and infection control. Latest evidence throughout, updated to incorporate discoveries appertaining to the oral microbiome, and the international guidelines on infection control. Ample artwork and clinical pictures to explain complex structures, intricate pathological processes, and disease management principles. Friendly accessible writing style that helps students better understand and retain key information. Self-assessment tasks to monitor progress and prepare for graduate and postgraduate examinations Easy to follow - highlighted important information, and helpful summaries of key facts. A comprehensive glossary and a list of abbreviations Definitions and descriptors of the oralome, the oral microbiome and oral microbiota - revealed by novel, next-generation sequencing technologies SARS-CoV-2 infection, the COVID-19 pandemic, and its impact on dentistry MPox and other emerging viral infections and oral manifestations Oral mycobiome and emerging and re-emerging oral fungal diseases Oral microbiota, the oral-systemic axis and systemic health Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and its mitigation by good antimicrobial prescribing The recently proclaimed `One health` concept basics A guide to new vaccines and immunisation protocols Extended and fully updated sections on infection control

"Fully updated throughout with the latest developments in oral microbiology and disease prevention and control, Essential microbiology for dentistry will be essential for all undergraduates studying dentistry as well as anyone undertaking postgraduate training."--Page 4 de la couverture.

Now expanded with the latest information of relevance to current dental practice, Oral Microbiology retains its unique ecological approach to the subject which helps the reader determine whether an organism will have a pathogenic or commensal relationship at a given site. In the new edition, greater emphasis is placed on the role of current molecular biology techniques in the understanding of oral microbes. The book also provides insight into current therapeutic and prophylactic antibiotic use, infection control, and the relationships between oral and general health. Oral Microbiology provides comprehensive coverage of the subject which will be essential to readers with a specific interest in dentistry as well as those with a more general interest in host-microbe interactions and in microbial ecology. The book is suitable for undergraduate and postgraduate dental students, research workers, and a wide range of clinical dental professionals. Full coverage of the latest molecular biology techniques which have revolutionized our knowledge of oral microbes Exploration of the biological and clinical significance of the oral microflora in the form of a biofilm on dental and mucosal surfaces Contemporary views on therapeutic and prophylactic antibiotic use, infection control, and the relationships between oral and general health

Clinical Oral Microbiology describes the significant models of monomicrobial and polymicrobial mechanisms of pathogenicity to appreciate the multifactorial nature of many infections. This book provides an understanding in the development of the science and practice of clinical oral microbiology. Organized into five parts encompassing 17 chapters, this book begins with an overview of the various types of oral and dental infections. This text then describes the different environmental characteristics of the human mouth, which consists of a complex mixture of microbial species of bacteria, fungi, mycoplasma, and protozoa. Other chapters consider the relative proportions of oral microorganisms in health. This book discusses as well the interplay of the etiological factors in dental caries. The final chapter deals with the transmission of infectious agents among patients and staff within a hospital environment, which is commonly called as cross-infection. This book is a valuable resource for microbiologists, dentists, oral pathologists, clinicians, and practitioners.
