Oral Microbiology and Immunology

Zusatztext "The textbook is a great resource for undergraduate and graduate dental students! dental educators! and researchers alike. It builds upon principles of general microbiology and immunology and! through the scope of the oral cavity as a specialized niche of the human body! delves into the concepts of oral microbiology and oral immunology. These are further applied to provide a thorough understanding of the etiopathogenesis of oral microbial diseases! using both classical and contemporary literature. The textbook efficiently integrates research findings into education! for the establishment of knowledge."Georgios Belibasakis! DDS! MSc! PhD! FHEA! Professor of Clinical Oral Infection Biology! Karolinska Institutet"Oral Microbiology and Immunology has been a valuable resource for instructors in oral health for years. The third edition is thoroughly updated with current technologies and research! from new findings on pathogenic organisms and oral diseases to practical safety approaches. I highly recommend the textbook to students! teachers and scientists involved in oral microbiology and immunology. "Salomon Amar! DDS! PhD! Professor of Pharmacology and Microbiology and Immunology!

Lamont and Hyun koo Klappentext The field of oral microbiology has seen fundamental conceptual changes in recent years. Microbial communities are now seen as the fundamental etiological agent in oral diseases through their interface with host inflammatory responses. Study of structured microbial communities has increased our understanding of the roles of each member in the pathogenesis of oral diseases, principles that apply to both periodontitis and dental caries.Against this backdrop, the third edition of Oral Microbiology and Immunology has been substantially expanded and rewritten by an international team of authors and editors. Featured in the current edition are:* links between oral infections and systemic disease* revised and updated overview of the role of the immune system in oral infections* thorough discussions of biofilm development and control* more extensive illustrations and Key Points for student understandingGraduate students, researchers, and clinicians as well as students will find this new edition valuable in study and practice.
