This atlas compiles clinical cases and images of pathological conditions. It will be very helpful for any vet needing to recognise macroscopical and microscopical lesions in sheep.
Grafting materials must be safe, biocompatible and able to guarantee lasting results. Among the fundamental features of the ideal material is the ability to promote bone regeneration. The autologous tooth is a very promising candidate because it allows osteoinduction and its maintenance after the treatment. After examining the current scientific evidence and studies carried out at the Politecnico di Milano (Milan, Italy), The tooth as a graft provides an overview of all the aspects of bone regeneration and the various devices available on the market are presented and compared, their use explained step-by-step, from cleaning the tooth to the grinding, to the treatment of the material before grafting.
The book is divided into six sections, starting with the diagnostic approach to specific clinical presentations that may or may not be due to GI disease, with each chapter including an algorithmic pathway. A section on diagnostic methods is followed by sections about the management of GI diseases and non-specific and specific drug treatments. The fifth section covers diffuse inflammatory, infectious and neoplastic diseases of the GI tract. Specific diseases of each area of the tract from esophagus to large intestine are found in the final section.
