The genetic revolution has profoundly impacted not only medicine and biology but also social, economic, and cultural disciplines such as psychology, law, archaeology, paleontology, sensor technology, bioinformatics, statistics, and bioeconomics. Therefore, scholars in these fields need to integrate fundamental knowledge of human and medical genetics into their curricula.This book is aimed at readers interested not only in learning the basic aspects of Genetics but also in reflecting on its recent developments, with the conviction that everyone should perceive it, not as a detached observer, but as a potential user.

Il professor Aldo Bruno Giannì presenta con entusiasmo il libro “GNATOLOGIA pratica clinica” di Sandro Prati, sottolineando la competenza clinica, didattica e scientifica dell’autore. Il testo rappresenta la sintesi di un percorso filosofico e clinico nel trattamento dei Disturbi Cranio-Mandibolari (DCM), basandosi su evidenze scientifiche piuttosto che su scuole di pensiero dogmatiche. Prati analizza la fisiologia dell’apparato stomatognatico e la biomeccanica della deglutizione e della masticazione, affrontando poi le problematiche occlusive con un approccio critico e scientifico. Sostiene che le cosiddette malocclusioni non sono patogene di per sé e che il trattamento gnatologico deve sempre considerare la capacità di adattamento individuale del sistema neuromuscolare. Il messaggio principale è l’importanza di un approccio personalizzato e basato su evidenze scientifiche, evitando certezze assolute e rimanendo aperti ai continui aggiornamenti della disciplina. Il libro è consigliato sia agli esperti che vogliono approfondire il tema, sia ai giovani clinici in cerca di solide basi teoriche. Gli argomenti vengono trattati con una impostazione pratica attraverso centinaia di casi clinici ed organizzato in modo da poter fornire una sorta di manuale per una veloce consultazione durante la pratica clinica.
