This practical, state-of-the-art guide to the combined orthodontic-surgical correction of dentofacial deformities has been entirely revised and updated. The new second edition includes completely new chapters on patient evaluation and syndromes as well as updated information on the latest surgical techniques, including rigid fixation, surgical modeling and new material on bone grafting.

The second edition is expanded and rejuvenated with a greater focus on PG students, orthodontic educators, UG students and practitioners. The book covers entire panorama of science and clinical practice of orthodontics, from basics to clinical, presented in 58 chapters organised in 15 sections. The information is provided in-depth, literature supported, complimented with real life scenarios and case reports. A special effort has been made to include structured information on subjects of relevance which are much talked about but found only in journals. - Contains a balanced blend of texts, graphics, boxes and clinical case reports encountered in clinical practice - A comprehensive coverage of cephalometric radiology, ethnic norms and advances in three-dimensional imaging - A detailed step by step approach to orthodontic treatment with contemporary fixed appliances, from diagnosis to finishing - Provides an up-to-date information on topics of day-to-day relevance such as epidemiology of malocclusion and orthodontic indices, psychological aspects of orthodontics, debonding, care and maintenance of occlusion after orthodontic treatment - Presents updated information on temporary anchorage devices (TAD), impacted and transposed teeth, inter-disciplinary treatment, management of cleft lip and palate and orthognathic surgery - Emerging fields such as surgically facilitated rapid tooth movement, distraction osteogenesis and obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) are included with up-to-date clinically relevant information - Includes Companion Website containing procedural videos - Historical aspects of orthodontics and Development of teeth, dentition and occlusion - A whole new section on emerging 3D Digital technologies and their application - Orthodontic instruments, armamentarium and operatory design - Comprehensive chapters on Tweed philosophy, contemporary pre-adjusted appliance and self-ligation system - Evidence-based Orthodontics - Autotransplantation of teeth - A section on the asymmetry of occlusion and face Additional Features - Complimentary access to full e-book - Eight online chapters - Twelve videos - Exhaustive list of references

The fourth volume of DENTOFACIAL DEFORMITIES is the most comprehensive text available on the integration of orthodontics and surgery in the correction of dentofacial deformities. Volume IV zeroes in on the diagnosis and treatment of facial asymmetries. It also offers state of the art information on distraction osteogenesis. It features treatment data on TMJ problems in patients with dentofacial deformities. Other topics include: autogenous tissue harvesting techniques, frontier research on implants for orthodontic anchorage, and detailed case coverage of osseointegrated implants for facial prosthetic rehabilitation. Each chapter presents a step-by-step approach to presurgical orthodontic treatment, immediate presurgical planning, surgical techniques, and postsurgical orthodontic treatment. This text's two-color design boasts hundreds of clear, anatomic illustrations and step-by-step descriptions of orthodontic and surgical correction of dentofacial deformities.

In an organized, comprehensive, user-friendly style, this text presents state-of-the-art advances in orthodontics and surgical instrumentation, techniques, and adjunctive cosmetic procedures. It features coverage of conditions common to Class I, II, and III deformities, secondary cleft lip and palate dentofacial deformities, and nasal deformities associated with dentofacial deformities. Most of the chapters cover three major areas: most common orthodontic and surgical treatment of the deformity, adjunctive surgical techniques frequently helpful when added to the common' techniques, and alternate treatment approaches describing treatment of less common variations of the deformity. * Unique step-by-step approach to presurgical orthodontic treatment, immediate presurgical planning, surgical techniques, and postsurgical orthodontic treatment. * Takes the reader through the entire process from diagnosis of the deformity to postsurgical assessment of the correction. * Provides a detailed discussion of diagnosis and treatment planning of transverse discrepancies in the maxilla and mandible. * User-friendly appendix on facial skeleton growth includes methods of applying growth prediction and treatment planning to patient care. * Organized for quick and easy referral to practical information useful in clinical practice. * Focuses on patient assessment and awareness of psychological needs to encourage consideration of whole patient in treatment of deformities. * Depicts cosmetic procedures used to refine the esthetic results following orthognathic surgery, showing how to achieve overall improved patient results and satisfaction.

The standard in prosthodontics for nearly 50 years, McCracken's Removable Partial Prosthodontics, 13th Edition walks readers through all the principles and concepts surrounding removable partial denture treatment planning and design that today's practitioners need to know. Using an evidence-based approach, this full-color text incorporates the latest information on new techniques, procedures, and equipment, including expanded information on dynamic communication and the use of implants with removable partial dentures.

Standardized removable partial denture designs offered for application to the major categories of patients seen in practice. - NEW! Expanded information on the use of implants with removable partial dentures highlights considerations in treatment planning including the selection of implants and provision of care utilizing dental implants. - NEW! More information on dynamic communication which incorporates the progress being made in shared decision making with patients, especially regarding decisions made in light of patient values and 'trade-off' considerations.

This book is a comprehensive guide to the surgery-first orthognathic approach for patients with malocclusion and skeletal disharmony, which has been successfully applied by the authors in their practices over the past 15 years. The approach breaks with the time-tested principles of traditional orthognathic surgery in that corrective bone surgery is performed first, without the removal of dental compensations, followed by orthodontic finishing. All aspects are covered with the aid of numerous illustrations, the aim being to provide surgeons with a systematic educational tool that will enable them to introduce the approach into their own practice. In addition, the book addresses one of the hot issues in orthodontics, occlusal plane-altering orthognathic surgery, in which surgical modification of the occlusal plane is employed to treat various types of dentofacial deformity and improve facial proportions. This promises to become a very powerful tool in modern orthognathic surgery.
