A Textbook of Orthodontics by W J B Houston, W J Tulley & C D Stephens (Editor)
ISBN 0723609861 Publisher: Wright
Buy from amazon.co.uk    Buy from amazon.com

Book Description
The text, with the addition of over 130 new illustrations, has been thoroughly revised to include enlarged sections on case assessment, treatment need and treatment planning. The principles of removable and fixed orthodontic appliance treatment have been updated as has the chapter on post-treatment retention. Functional appliances and the place of surgery in the treatment of gross malocclusion and facial deformity are also discussed. There is a new chapter on the principles of treatment for patients suffering from cleft lip and palate.

The aim of the book still continues to be that of providing a basic text for the undergraduate and a primer for the postgraduate. It will nonetheless be useful for vocational training programmes and as a basis for the extended training courses in orthodontics now being organized for the established dental practitioner.

Synopsis
Orthodontics is concerned with facial growth and the development of the dentition and occlusion. A knowledge of orthodontics is an essential pre-requisite to treatment planning in children and invaluable to the management of adult dentition. This text has been written to provide those who wish to learn more about this subject with a concise and practical guide. It provides sufficient theory and academic background to give the reader an understanding of malocclusion, but also contains enough practical guidance on simple treatment modalities. All aspects of orthodontics are covered in this book, from management of mixed dentition to adult and surgical orthodontics. Although aimed primarily at the undergraduate it is also designed to be of interest and help to the general dental practitioner who needs an easily accessible source of practical advice.

Contemporary Orthodontics by W R Proffit, H W Fields
ISBN 1556645538 Publisher: Mosby
Buy from amazon.co.uk    Buy from amazon.com

Book Description
CONTEMPORARY ORTHODONTICS follows a logical progression. Orthodontic concepts, which all students and dentists need to know, are covered in the early sections of the book. Advanced concepts and comprehensive treatment techniques are featured later. The organization and presentation of material follow curriculum guidelines devised by the American Association of Dental Schools. Another important benefit of this text's organization is that it makes the book usable throughout the dental curriculum: Chapters 1-12 are appropriate for several courses taught in the first two years of dental school. Chapters 13-21 apply to courses in the third and fourth years. This will become increasingly important as AADS institutes new recommendations for integrating basic dental science content throughout the curriculum.

Synopsis
Well-known and prominent authorship: Dr Proffit is a highly respected and recognized educator and author * Two-colour format is especially useful in the cephalometric drawings that show the before- and after-treatment tracings * Case studies incorporated throughout to guide the reader through various cases; from pretreatment to post treatment follow-up *  Expanded coverage of surgical-orthodontic interrelationships in treatment * Addition of 200 new 2-color halftones and 100 2-color line drawings (includes replacements for existing art) * Addition of a Clinical Challenge section at the end of the book. This section will include approximately 75 multiple-choice questions testing readers' comprehension of content presented within the text * Several pages of full-color inserts depicting the progression of various case studies from pretreatment to post treatment follow-up.

Fixed Orthodontic Appliances by J K Williams, A Cook, K G Isaacson & A R Thom
ISBN 0723610010 Publisher: Wright
Buy from amazon.co.uk    Buy from amazon.com

Book Description
An increasing awareness of the benefits of orthodontic treatment, plus advances in both the sophistication and capability of fixed orthodontic appliances have stimulated a great deal of interest from both dentists and patients. Modern materials offer much improved physical characteristics and the availability of 'aesthetic' appliances has resulted in an increase in the number of patients requesting treatment. However, the readiness with which fixed appliances can now be provided carries with it the danger of their use in inexperienced hands, and the purpose of this book is to provide the newcomer to orthodontics with an understanding of the basic principles involved as well as the mechanisms appropriate for moving teeth with fixed appliances. It also gives general guidance on how to position teeth in order to achieve optimum functional, aesthetic and stable results. Emphasis has been placed on simplicity and clarity, and the book is profusely illustrated with numerous line drawings and colour plates. 'Fixed Orthodontic Appliances' should be essential reading for any graduate commencing orthodontic training, as well as for the interested general practitioner and final year student.

Contents

Anchorage Intra-oral anchorage Molar control
Brackets Extra-oral anchorage Finishing procedures
Archwire and accessories Initial alignment Chairside management
Case preparation Canine management Appendices.
Arch form Overbite management

Reviews
'Well illustrated with computer line drawings and a section of high-quality color photographs, the text is clear, concise, and simple. The authors provide a good description of all common fixed appliances, including Begg, edgewise, and preadjusted modalities. Auxiliary appliances such as headgears, lip bumpers, and retainers are also covered. This is the best of the relatively few textbooks that are intended as introductions to fixed-appliance therapy... for first-year graduate students, it would be an excellent reference.' - Journal of Clinical Orthodontics, No. 10, October 1996.

'The stated aim of this book is to provide the newcomer to orthodontics with a basic understanding of the use of fixed appliances with an emphasis on simplicity and clarity; objectives which the book achieves easily and concisely.' 'An ideal introduction to the sometimes bewildering world of fixed appliances, this book is highly recommended for the newcomer to fixed appliances ...' Mr David Birnie DERWEB

ISBN 0723602514 Publisher: Wright
Buy from amazon.co.uk    Buy from amazon.com

Book Description
Increasingly, general dental practitioners wish to provide basic orthodontic care for their patients. However, it is essential that they are able to distinguish between the straightforward cases they can treat and those that are more complex and require specialist attention. The unique format of this book offers practitioners the opportunity to improve their diagnostic skills on a wide range of everyday orthodontic problems. It will also appeal to specialists in training as a self test exercise prior to taking higher examinations. The book is in three main sections. The first is a guide to the examination of the orthodontic patient and a practical approach to treatment planning. The second section contains the pre-treatment records of twenty selected cases. These can be studied using the system outlined in section one. The remaining part of the book presents the correct case assessments, the preferred treatment options and the post-treatment records.
