                                      This book highlights a new possibility of dental treatment for some pathological conditions considered
                                      untreatable with conventional methods by the use of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS). The book is
                                      divided in 11 chapters. A series of information on LIPUS aspects, how to act and the biological mechanisms
                                      on dentofacial bioengineering are presented. The role of LIPUS for bone healing, skeletal muscles, periodontal
                                      tissue regeneration, temporomandibular joints and salivary glands is convincingly explained in a number of
                                      chapters. LIPUS application in orthodontics, dentofacial region, shockwave therapy in orthodontics, and pulp
                                      cell differentiation and future directions are the subjects of other chapters.
                                      The authors, presenting and illustrating the latest discoveries and uses of ultrasound in dentistry, manage to
                                      attain their aim and write a particularly useful book for dental surgeons, orthodontists, periodontologists, and
                                      other practitioners.
