The British Dental Association (BDA) has published three new books: Treatment Planning in Implant Dentistry; Lasers in Dentistry; and The Internet Guide for Dentistry.

Treatment Planning in Implant Dentistry has been developed from a series commissioned for the British Dental Journal to provide a systematic approach to decision making prior to implant placement. Authored by Sajid Jivraj, a private practitioner in California, and Winston Chee, Professor of Restorative Dentistry and Director of Implant Dentistry at the University of California School of Dentistry, the book covers subjects including surgical guidance for implant placement, impression techniques and failures in implant dentistry.

Lasers in Dentistry serves as an introduction to lasers as well as outlining their many uses in dentistry. The title considers subjects including 'fixed' and 'loose' soft tissue surgery, lasers in implantology and endodontics and laser regulation and safety in general dental practice. Written by Steven Parker, a GDP who has been using lasers since 1990, the book offers a practical guide to their utilisation in modern dentistry.

The Internet Guide for Dentistry is a practical reference to the internet that offers a solid introduction to the world wide web and email as well as providing guidance on creating a website for a dental practice and profiling the dental resources available online. Written by practising GDP Paul Downes, this title is designed to appeal to both the internet novice and the more seasoned browser.

Stephen Hancocks, Editor-in-Chief of the British Dental Journal, said:

"These are three exciting additions to the range of BDJ Books. Dentistry is constantly changing. These titles will help practitioners keep up to date with the latest technologies and techniques affecting the way they work."

The books are all published in paperback and cost £48.75 each. BDA members pay just £38.95 per title. All are now available via the BDA shop at http://www.bda.org/bdashop/.
