Dental statistics made easy, 2nd edition / by Nigel Smeeton
Radcliffe Publishing, 2012

"This essential textbook presents the complexities of dental statistics in a user friendly way - combining questions, analysis, advice and solutions to practical research problems. It focuses on the principles of statistics and how to apply that knowledge, without complex algebraic formulae.
Fully revised and extended and now in its second edition this detailed guide covers new and emerging issues whilst retaining the original focus: understanding statistical concepts rather than the performance of routine calculations.
For students, it thoroughly covers the undergraduate dental statistics curriculum, with the added feature of a wide range of useful, practical exercises (multiple choice, short answer questions, and longer problems).
For practitioners, especially those involved in the growing number of research networks, it covers study design, providing basic knowledge about the concepts of statistics and how to apply them in dental research." Taken from back cover.

Zygomatic implants: the anatomy-guided approach/ by Carlos Aparicio
Quintessence Publishing, 2012

"This book reviews the zygomatic implant approach in its current state, including not only the successes and improvements, but also the possible complications and their eventual resolution. Thanks to this approach, extreme cases can have fixed dentition in very few hours, with no grafts, no general anesthesia, or morbidity from a donor site. Thus, a technique of relative complexity becomes a minimally invasive procedure, since its application minimizes and simplifies patient treatment. This book will help the healthcare provider to establish clear guidelines for the rational and optimized use of zygomatic implants in the rehabilitation of the edentulous patient."
