Reviewer: Janet H. Southerland, DDS, MPH, PhD (The University of Texas Medical Branch)
Description: This is an update and overview of technology in oral health, including breakthroughs in research and practice. The information cuts across occlusion, imaging, and health literacy.
Purpose: The purpose is to provide a comprehensive resource that covers the latest scholarly perspectives on the technological advancements in assessment and evaluation for treatment. The objectives are worthy, but many of the topics are covered more effectively in other books.
Audience: The book is designed for professionals, researchers, students, and practitioners seeking academic material on developments and innovations in oral medicine. The authors are credible with relevant backgrounds.
Features: Divided into three sections, the book covers clinical applications, diagnostics and imaging, and education, literacy, and health services. In addition, it highlights trends and clinical uses for oral healthcare research through perspectives on computerized analyses, tissue engineering, and nanoparticles. Further, the book helps readers better understand how emerging technologies can improve healthcare outcomes. There are enhancements such as abstracts at the beginning of chapters along with key terms, definitions, and additional readings.
Assessment: This book provides an overview of emerging technologies that can be used to improve the ability of dental practitioners to evaluate and treat their patients. It covers a number of areas with new technologies, but it is not clear how effective it will be in improving the knowledge of practitioners about the application of the information to their practices.
