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.

Book Description
This new book from international sources provides the reader with a state of the art review of the principles of cleft management, including the etiology, early supportive management, surgical management of the cleft, and comprehensive management of speech and prosthetic abnormalities. It also includes the most comprehensive section on the secondary management of cleft deformities published to date.

Book Description
Orthodontics and paediatric dentistry are important areas of the undergraduate dental curriculum in which no pocket colour atlas currently exists. All dentists have to know how to treat children, how to carry out basic orthodontic treatment and when to refer patients for specialist orthodontic treatment. The vast majority of orthodontic work is carried out on children, so the two subjects are conveniently integrated in this Colour Guide.

Features
High quality colour pictures of the full range of orthodontic and paediatric conditions.
Proven colour guide format with brief but systematic text highly suitable for revision purposes.
Covers two related areas of the dental curriculum in one book - will be good value for students.

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
This work offers a comprehensive analysis of the factors involved in the development and prevention of caries and periodontics in the orthodontic patient. Clinicians are given the means to develop individualized preventive programmes for patients with orthodontic appliances.

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

The scope of fixed appliances	Fitting the appliance	Overjet management
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

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.

Contents:
Case assessment and treatment planning: How to carry out orthodontic case assessment; How to plan orthodontics treatment; Pretreatment records; Case assessment; Treatment planning.
