This book defines and depicts all cephalometric landmarks on a skull or spine in both 2D and 3D and then identifies them on radiographs.

Each major cephalometric analysis is described in detail, and the linear or angular measures are shown pictorially for better understanding.

Because many orthodontists pick specific measures from various cephalometric analyses to formulate their own analysis, these measures are organized relative to the skeletal or dental structure and then compared or contrasted relative to diagnosis, growth, and treatment. Cephalometric norms (eg, age, sex, ethnicity) are also discussed relative to treatment and esthetics.

The final chapter shows the application of these measures to clinical cases to teach clinicians and students how to use them effectively.

As radiology transitions from 2D to 3D, it is important to evaluate the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of each in diagnosis and treatment, and this book outlines all of the relevant concerns for daily practice.

Atlas of Orthodontic Case Reviews

Atlas of Orthodontic Case Reviews takes a highly visual case-based approach to orthodontic treatment. 14 common orthodontic treatments are described in detail with examples drawn from actual clinical cases. Each case offers a thorough description of the malocclusion, defines desired treatment outcomes, and shows the progression of the case through treatment, with images documenting each step of the process, and review questions encourage and test self-learning and knowledge.

With more than 800 radiographs and photographs, the book is a highly-illustrated reference to the changes that occur with orthodontic treatment. Each chapter is devoted to a specific case report with sequential photographic documentation, incorporating both the skeletal and dental components of the specific malocclusion. This vital resource:

• Discusses and illustrates the treatment of orthodontic malocclusions using actual clinical cases
• Presents more than 800 clinical photographs showing the stages of each treatment, to act as a visual reference
• Includes a description of each malocclusion, an explanation of the desired treatment outcomes, an account of the changes, and review questions for each case

Atlas of Orthodontic Case Reviews is designed to be equally useful for dental students, general dentists, or orthodontic specialists. The text’s step-by-step approach defines the important aspects of each case and aids in achieving predictable results.

Identify problems and introduce solutions early for an ideal aesthetic result

Interceptive Orthodontics: A Practical Guide to Occlusal Management aims to guide the practitioner in the art of interceptive management of the developing dentition. The goal is to guide the permanent dentition into the line of the dental arches, avoiding complex orthodontic treatment for teeth displaced far from their ideal position, and thereby reducing orthodontic treatment time. This book covers growth of the jaws and tooth development, and explains the correct timing of interceptive management. It also discusses orthodontic assessment, special investigations and comprehensive management of the mixed dentition, taking in the issues of early crowding, impaction, supernumerary and supplemental teeth, dental arch expansion, space maintenance and space management. In line with best available evidence, it provides clear treatment objectives and detailed treatment planning advice.

Practical, accessible and illustrated with a wealth of colour images, this is an ideal clinical companion for general dental practitioners, oral surgeons, paediatric dentists and orthodontists. It is also a valuable reference for all training grades.
