Orthodontics

Postulating that biologic equilibrium of the masticatory system must be a fundamental concern of all restorative dentists, the author hopes to sidestep controversy by presenting a scientific and functional guide to the masticatory system. Key conceptual and diagnostic issues - such as maxillomandibular relations and movement, use of articulators, and differential diagnosis of maxillofacial pain - serve as the foundation for the following chapters, which address clinical aspects of occlusal treatment: diagnosis and treatment protocol, fabrication of bite splints, treatment of temporomandibular disorders, the creation of functional restorations, occlusal adjustment, and treatment of malocclusion. This book should be required reading for all clinicians, so they may understand the effects of their treatment on the patient's occlusion.

    Orthodontics

    Despite the ever-expanding array of orthodontic journals and textbooks available today, too many clinical decisions are based on either anecdotal evidence or the espoused treatment philosophy of the current luminary of the lecture circuit. The authors of this book take an unbiased approach to orthodontics by systematically reviewing the relevant clinical literature and analyzing the scientific evidence to help practitioners select the most effective and efficient modes of treatment. Each chapter addresses a specific topic by summarizing the literature, critically reviewing the evidence, and offering impartial recommendations that can be adopted by clinical practitioners. Topics include Class II and Class III malocclusions, wires and wire sequences, dental asymmetries, causes of root resorption, and retention strategies, among others. This timely text enables busy clinicians to acquire knowledge of the current literature and apply evidence-based orthodontics in their practices.

    Orthodontics

    A short, intense account of facing getting orthodontic headgear.

    The orthodontist puts the facebow on the tray in front of the patient. "I stared at it. I realized that my whole life was going to change in the next few minutes."
    There's getting braces, and then there's getting headgear on top of the braces. Headgeared is one girl's short story about the day that changed everything.

    Headgeared is a work of fiction and for entertainment purposes some aspects of orthodontic treatment and wear are exaggerated and the characters' experiences should not be considered representative.

    Orthodontics

    This textbook is both a practical and theoretic reference book for the clinical use of orthodontic implants. The standard concepts of mini-screw selection and placement in various clinical situations are presented for easy incorporation into everyday practice. In addition, solutions to specific orthodontic problems are illustrated through relevant clinical examples and detailed in a thorough discussion of required protocols, indications and contraindications, potential risks, and clinical problem solving. The editors years of clinical experience and international renown in the field have allowed them to recruit collaborators whose expertise complements their own. The end result is an extensive, authoritative, and eminently practical survey of orthodontic implantology.

    Orthodontics

    Today, for patients of any age, a panoramic radiograph that allows high diagnostic reliability with minimum radiation exposure must be acknowledged as the standard of care. The new, more medically and legally responsible strategy for examination of patients is closely intertwined with a basic principle of patient care. Panoramic radiograph is rapidly becoming a meaningful and normal component of dental practice-oriented prevention. This Atlas presents the proper use of optimum radiographic exposure and contemporary techniques for today's dental office. Emphasis is placed on the reliable recognition of normal structures in the projected space and clear differentiation of normal features from pathological radiographic signs. These major topics of fundamental importance for correct interpretation are treated more extensively. The section on diagnosis deals in depth with the typical radiographic manifestations of frequently occurring pathological processes. Inherent in that section of the book is the basic understanding that the radiopathologic manifestation of one and the same lesion may vary considerably depending on the patient's age and sex, on the phase of development of the lesion at the time of documentation, on the localization within different surrounding structures, and according to actual histologic features of the lesion.
