This volume contains an updated overview of orthodontic diagnosis, treatment planning, and therapeutic methods. The author team, led by Dr. William Proffit, delivers a work distinguished by its clear writing style and logical organization of material.
Each chapter covers essential information followed by more detailed discussions for specialist orthodontists. Topics include practical applications of computer technology, alternative therapeutic approaches, the biomechanics of orthodontic devices, the selection of effective therapeutic procedures, and the treatment of complex problems in both children and adults.
The new aspects of this edition (the sixth of the original foreign version) relate to both format and content update. The three-dimensional visualization and use of three-dimensional interactions, images from human embryos rather than from experimental animals, the visual comparison of the properties of various orthodontic wires, and the addition of case examples dealing with complex problems in extensive orthodontic or surgical-orthodontic treatment are some of the new features of the latest edition.
Furthermore, additional information is included regarding welding techniques, developments in brackets, and biomechanical evaluations, as well as an extensive discussion on current growth modification procedures and their outcomes. The two additional chapters of the edition explore fundamental topics of treating skeletal crossbite problems and Class III issues, growth modification in Class II, open bites, and multidimensional problems.
Finally, the documented case studies reinforce the core information and prepare for the orthodontic part of dental examinations as well as for clinical practice.
Moschos A. Papadopoulos is a Professor of Orthodontics and Director of the Orthodontic Laboratory and postgraduate program in Orthodontics in the Dental School of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.
