The implant is an artificial tooth replacement that was nowadays considered a standard treatment for filling the gap. The tooth implant is a small screwdriver that sinks into the jawbone during surgery to boil the bone around and prepare the tooth's artificial crown. In fact, the implant base acts as a tooth root and a tooth coating as a tooth crown. The implant does not need to rely on the surrounding teeth and stays in the jawbone. Dental implants are made of titanium, but there are also zirconia dental implants. Titanium and Zirconia are substances that the body is compatible with and does not regard them as external attackers, so it does not react. Currently, the probability of successful dental implants is about 2 %, which is one of the most successful treatments. There are many books about implants. Many of these books are comprehensive and have useful classified information. The present book summarizes dental implants, their types, methods of failure, reasons for failure, care methods, and two Overdentures and Sinus Lift methods. In addition, an effort was made to avoid mentioning generalities and exaggerations, and most of the important things were mentioned in the book.

Arctic Indigenous peoples were the first to feel the cause-effect, with no responsibility to the harm that was and is affecting their way of life, their living subsistence, their home. Climate change has direct and indirect impacts. Facing the inability of the States to keep them safe and secure, Inuit and Sámi organisations had to take the lead to protect themselves, at least with their voices heard at international level. The Inuit Circumpolar Council and Sámi Council have done a great job that allowed to recognise their human rights as well as giving them a place at the Arctic Council as Permanent Participants. In order to understand the difficulties at national level, the comparison work will be helpful to analyse the applicability of human security (within a trinity that includes Green theory and ecosystem approach) of Canada and Finland¿s Arctic policies, where Inuit and Sámi live, respectively, acknowledging the impact both countries can provide to their Arctic communities as part of their country and society, accepting their diversity. Keeping population safe is an obligation of States, though in this new century and climate threat context, they can not to do it alone.

Linguistics is often called «the science of language», the study of the human capacity to communicate and organize thought using different tools (the vocal tract for spoken languages, hands for sign languages) and involving different abstract and tactile components. When you see something interesting or shocking, when you try to remember a fact or setting, express anger or love, you do this through the medium of language. When you read, sing, study, write, chat or daydream, language is at the heart of your experience. The study of linguistics is not just an investigation into words or sounds, but into the heart of humanity.
