Orthodontic Treatment of Impacted Teeth provides its readers
with a gold-standard resource to tackle common, complex and
multi-factorial clinical scenarios. Rooted firmly in the scientific
reality, it also provides a valuable repository of the
evidence-base for this subject area.
The third edition of this classic text has been fully revised and
updated to reflect the latest advances in research and clinical
practice. It discusses recent developments in the periodontal
outcome of surgical exposure of impacted teeth, and also
incorporates more protocols for routine cases. This enables
clinicians to develop their skills in the simpler cases, as well as
to improve their understanding of complex and rare presentations.
An especially useful chapter looks at failure and impending
failure, providing a valuable insight into the real life management
of impacted teeth. The author describes how to recognize failure
and proposes ways to avoid it, frequently illustrating them with
cases from his own clinic.
KEY FEATURES
* Fully revised and updated classic
* Coverage expanded to include protocols for routine, as well
as complex cases
* Includes new chapter on extreme tooth displacement and
complicating factors
* Provides unparalleled coverage of the evidence base
* Highly illustrated in full colour
