Product Information

To estimate the risk of viral hepatitis for practicing dentists, a questionnaire survey was conducted in the greater Los Angeles area among the part-time faculty of the University of Southern California School of Dentistry.

Guidelines/Protocols – there are a huge array of guidelines and protocols that exist in dentistry and it can be difficult to track them all down. With Nutshell, you have a comprehensive study tool at your fingertips, offering a seamless learning journey. HBsAg and anti-HCV positive serum samples were further tested for the presence of hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg), anti-HBe antibodies, HBV-DNA and HCV-RNA.Less than 10% had been immunized against hepatitis B and only a further 30% intended to be vaccinated.

Also, a huge thank you to all the dentists and specialists who have been mentioned in the acknowledgements for their content contributions and fantastic clinical photographs that really made this guide amazing. This study was based on the review of the records of the patients visiting the dental section of Ayub Teaching Hospital Abbottabad between April to December 2014. Thirty-five anti-HCV and HCV-RNA positive patients with chronic hepatitis underwent dental treatment and were enrolled in this study. From a global perspective, the greatest impact on the disease burden associated with HCV infection will most likely be achieved by focusing efforts on primary prevention strategies to reduce or eliminate the risk for transmission from nosocomial exposures (e. When it came to finalising the book, we had Dr Pouya Zoh’s and Milad Divsalar’s (a final year dental student) support with proof reading, editing and content, clinical drawings, sourcing and liaising with the graphic designer, and actually publishing the book.Like medical patients, dental patients are at increased risk of getting hepatitis B and C viral infection during various procedures. Co-infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected individuals results in increased hepatic complications.

Teaching is one of her greatest joys and she regularly lectures at UK dental schools and delivers online webinars. Possible environmental contamination by HCV-RNA was investigated in dental surgeries after treatment of anti-HCV and HCV-RNA positive patients. The presence of HCV-RNA was determined by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to evaluate contamination of instruments and surfaces in dental surgeries.

We undertook this study to evaluate the presence of HBV and HCV in HIV infected individuals attending a tertiary care centre in southern India. Nicola Gore: The idea for the project started in early 2019 when I was giving tutorials to my foundation trainees. Finally, chapter 15 is about oral surgery, including tooth extraction, suturing, and the potential complications. The most common mode of transmission was sexual promiscuity (79%), followed by spouse positivity (15%) and history of blood transfusion (6%).

In addition, the book contains referral guidelines, case selection considerations, and consent forms which makes it useful for fresh dentists. A time-saving solution with pre-populated patient notes, freeing up your valuable time with a convenient speech-to-text feature. Consenting to these technologies will allow us to process data such as browsing behavior or unique IDs on this site. We hope with our combined knowledge of 37 years of wet handed general dentistry we have created a guide for years to come that will help young dentists become confident and safe practitioners.This is at odds with fault-based civil liability law, which discourages a more open (doctor-patient) communication on medical injuries. Overall, I think Dentistry in a Nutshell is a must-have for any dentist, not just younger newly qualified ones.
