Orthodontic Treatment of Impacted Teeth,Second Edition

By Adrian Becker

The orthodontic and surgical modality has largely been adopted for the treatment of impacted teeth, but there is considerable difference of opinion between the two specialties as to which procedures should be carried out first and to what lengths each should be pursued. There are further controversies about good and bad practice. This new edition of a bestselling text discusses all aspects of the problem, from prevalence, through aetiology, to clinical treatment, long term prognosis and the reasons for failure. The material is meticulously documented and provides a wealth of sound, evidence-based advice for the Orthodontist and Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon. This Second Edition now includes much new material on the latest methods of radiographic diagnosis and the wider application of orthodontic implants. Five new chapters have been included in this new text and others have been significantly expanded, to cover virtually every aspect of this fascinating subject, which is still hardly taught in any disciplined fashion in any of the Postgraduate Specialty Courses, worldwide.
