Zusatztext This excellent new textbook was written primarily for undergraduate dental students but there is no doubt it would also prove useful for postgraduate students starting their study for an MSc in orthodontics, and also for practitioners who have an interest in orthodontics or who wish to have a wider understanding of treatment concepts so that they can discuss treatment more readily with their patients... I would have no reservations at all in recommending this book to undergraduates, postgraduates or general dental practitioners; it would be a useful addition to any bookshelf. Klappentext This book is aimed at the undergraduate dental student! the general dental practtioner with an interest in orthodontics and students at the start of their postgraduate orthodontic training. The book assumes the reader has progressed down the path of orthodontic diagnosis and is in the processof formulating a treatment plan. Such planning requires the orthodontist to have a sound understanding of the biological principles of tooth movement! as well as to be aware of the treatment ideals and limitations. Knowledge of the various types of orthodontic appliances! their design and likely mode of action is also essential. Closely linked to this! advances in materials science have lead to great changes in orthodontic clinical practice in recent years. A chapter on orthodontic materials is thereforeincluded. Orthodontic treatment is not without risk and there is a chapter on iatrogenic effects. Finally! with increasing specialisation there is a need to call upon the services of colleagues from other specialties in treating complex cases and so multidisciplinary treatments are alsocovered. Zusammenfassung This book covers the basic mechanics and the underlying principles of orthodontics for the undergraduate dentistry student. It covers the biology of tooth movement and the appliances used to move the teeth. There are also chapters on dental materials as they apply to the field of orthodontics, along with multidisciplinary treatment and problems associated with orthodontic tooth movement.
