Orthodontic Treatment of Impacted Teeth [Hardcover]

Adrian Becker (Author)

Book Description

ISBN-10: 1841844756 | ISBN-13: 978-1841844756 | Publication Date: July 2, 2007 | Edition: 2

The orthodontic and surgical modality has largely been adopted for the treatment of impacted teeth, but there is considerable difference of opinion between the two specialties as to which procedures should be carried out first and to what lengths each should be pursued. There are further controversies about good and bad practice. This new edition of a bestselling text discusses all aspects of the problem, from prevalence, through aetiology, to clinical treatment, long term prognosis and the reasons for failure. The material is meticulously documented and provides a wealth of sound, evidence-based advice for the Orthodontist and Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon. This Second Edition now includes much new material on the latest methods of radiographic diagnosis and the wider application of orthodontic implants. Five new chapters have been included in this new text and others have been significantly expanded, to cover virtually every aspect of this fascinating subject, which is still hardly taught in any disciplined fashion in any of the Postgraduate Specialty Courses, worldwide.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“This textbook is outstanding and its inclusion in the literature for postgraduate orthodontic programmes should be mandatory. In addition, it is as an invaluable guide for experienced orthodontic specialists”
Agneta Linder-Aronson Karsten, The European Journal of Orthodontics 2007 29(6):662

"This prolifically illustrated second edition is most informative and contains a wealth of useful suggestions on how to manage a commonly encountered problem in orthodontics.” Alex Jacobson, Volume 133, Number 2, February 2008, page 330 American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics

"The most extensive compilation of information regarding the diagnosis and treatment of impacted teeth that I have seen." - Donald Woodside, Alpha Omegan, of the previous edition

"A fascinating free-thinking account of the aetiology, diagnosis and treatment of faulty development of individual teeth based on the periodontal outcome … with valuable discussions and literary reviews." - Andrew Richardson, European Journal of Orthodontics, of the previous edition

"I do not think I have ever encountered a clinical problem in this field in 30 years which is not covered by this book." - Richard Haskell, British Journal of Oral Maxillofacial Surgery, of the previous edition

"…definitely recommended for any orthodontist who handles correction of impacted teeth." - Thomas M Graber, American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, of the previous edition

"This is an excellent text. It is informative, well written, and addresses a topic not often thoroughly covered in orthodontic training programs. I recommend it highly as an important addition to the orthodontist's personal library. It would also be a fine template for a course in orthodontic management of impacted teeth. [...] This is book that will greatly enhance the proper management of impacted teeth."

Great book for the dentista and orthodontic specialist. I highly recommend. Very good reference book. A must for oral surgeons and orthodontists.
