Maintaining the original popular format enjoyed by so many readers, this Second Edition features comprehensive updates to all 66 cases to include the latest diagnostic and treatment techniques.  Each chapter also includes brand-new cases, for a total of 13 entirely new cases.  The most current references to the literature, best practices, and evidence based clinical guidelines, plus new and updated self‐assessment questions with detailed answers and explanations, have been added to all the cases.

This second edition maintains the same aim of presenting actual clinical cases to question and educate the reader on pediatric dentistry, using a clear, concise, and consistent format to offer a case history, diagnostics and treatment plans for each case.   Clinical Cases in Pediatric Dentistry, Second Edition is based on the most current evidence, with standards of care and policies as adopted by relevant associations and societies.  This important resource:

• Presents updated content, clinical guidelines, and references in existing cases, with thirteen brand new case scenarios
• Takes an easy-to-follow format, with patient history and diagnostics, questions, and answers, and explanations for each case
• Part of the “Clinical Cases” series applying both theory and practice to actual clinical cases
• Includes access to a companion website featuring additional case studies, charts, tables, web links, and the figures from the book in PowerPoint

Presenting real-world cases that encompass all-important areas of pediatric dentistry, Clinical Cases in Pediatric Dentistry, Second Edition is an essential resource for pre-doctoral dental students, post-graduate residents, and pediatric dentists preparing for board examinations and recertification. It’s also an excellent guide for students and faculty in pediatric dentistry departments, as well as practicing pediatric dentists and family dentists.

It also clearly describes procedures for treatment in the primary and young permanent dentitions, including pulp therapy for primary and young permanent molars, extractions, space maintenance, and more. The most commonly encountered treatment needs are discussed with the goal of increasing clinician and staff confidence while decreasing chair-time and stress

Drawing on 20 years of experience, the authors elucidate the clinical potential of the approach while also highlighting current pitfalls and limitations.

The opening two chapters discuss the 3D imaging workflow and its integration into daily clinical routine and comprehensively describe cone-beam CT virtual diagnosis. The stepwise 3D virtual planning of orthognathic surgery and transfer of the 3D virtual treatment plan to the patient in the operating room are then thoroughly explained, and the unprecedented potential of 3D virtual evaluation of treatment outcome, documented. Finally, after provision of all this essential background information, the closing chapter illustrates the application of the 3D virtual approach in different types of maxillofacial deformity.

Orthodontists and orthognathic and orthofacial surgeons will find 3D Virtual Treatment Planning of Orthognathic Surgery to be a superb guide and resource.

It includes the completely new sections of ‘Non-Surgical Facial Aesthetics’ and the ‘Application of 3-Dimensional Scanning for Virtual Surgical Planning (VSP), more commonly known as Computer-Aided Surgical Simulation (CASS)’.

Although CASS may supercede the multistage orthognathic planning process this traditional means of record transfer has been retained as an essential clinical skill.The principal deformity sections are the ‘Secondary Management of Clefts’, the ‘Role of Distraction Osteogenesis’, ‘Temporomandibular Joint Ankylosis’, ‘Rhinoplasty’, and the ‘Essential Support of Nutrition for the Maxillofacial Surgery Patient’.

The chapter on ‘Therapeutics for Emergencies and Complications’ has also been updated. The important ‘Psychopathological Aspects of Orthognathic Surgery’ and the new chapter on ‘Non-Surgical Facial Aesthetics’ enable the recognition and management of unexpected problems by the clinician.
