\"\"<\/a>Early-Age Orthodontic Treatment<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Aliakbar Bahreman<\/em><\/p>\n

This book presents readers with the information necessary to understand the morphogenesis of orthodontic problems, to differentiate among various conditions, and to apply early intervention approaches to optimal effect. Through integration of basic science and clinical practice, detailed case reports, and abundant illustrations, the author provides an overview of dental development, from tooth formation to permanent occlusion; emphasizes the developmental stages that must be recognized during patient examination to facilitate differential diagnosis; presents clear, step-by-step instructions for different treatment options; and demonstrates the benefits achieved by intervention in developing malocclusions and guidance of eruption. The discussions in part 1 of the concept of early-age treatment and the basic foundation of occlusal development empower practitioners to detect anomalies and intervene as necessary. Part 2 consists of chapters explaining the ontogeny, diagnosis, and early detection of, as well as the proper intervention for, nonskeletal problems. Part 3 includes chapters on early intervention for dentoskeletal problems in the sagittal, transverse, and vertical dimensions. This book cuts through the controversy surrounding early versus late treatment and shows that clinicians must decide on a case-by-case basis when to provide orthodontic treatment.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Cephalometry in Orthodontics: 2D and 3D<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Edited by Katherine Kula and Ahmed Ghoneima<\/em><\/p>\n

Cephalometrics has been used for decades to diagnose orthodontic problems and evaluate treatment. However, the shift from 2D to 3D radiography has left some orthodontists unsure about how to use this method effectively. 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.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Short and Ultra-Short Implants<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Edited by Douglas Deporter<\/em><\/p>\n

Research has shown that short implants are not only a viable option but oftentimes a superior one that carries fewer risks for the patient and dentist, especially in resorbed jaw sites. As clinical trials continue to underscore the safety and efficacy of short implants, more dentists are considering their use with real interest, and this book provides the information clinicians need to incorporate short implants into their own practice. The book reviews the clinical effectiveness of short implants and then describes treatment protocols for the various types of short implants and their placement in different areas of the mouth. Case presentations demonstrate the recommended techniques and showcase the results.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Botulinum Toxin for Facial Harmony<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Altamiro Fl\u00e1vio<\/em><\/p>\n

The mastery of dentistry brings esthetic knowledge of the face that is applicable to more than just the teeth. In the process of performing a complete facial analysis, the practitioner can identify asymmetries and concerns localized to an area\u2014such as the forehead, eyebrows, nose, or lower face\u2014and offer Botox therapy to increase facial harmony. This book outlines the many clinical uses for Botox, with detailed illustrations\u00a0and case presentations to support each procedure. The first part of the book covers systematic facial analysis, photographic documentation, and how to plan treatment. Special attention is paid to the anatomy and physiology of the face and the identification of injection points. Detailed treatment instructions for dosage, syringe type, and needle size are included for each procedure, as well as guidelines on how to evaluate results anthropometrically to determine whether esthetic treatment goals have been met. This stunning book will change the way you approach facial analysis and widen your esthetic treatment options for patients.<\/p>\n
