Introduction to Orthodontics

In 27 short chapters, this book comprehensively covers both the basic and applied pharmacology required in modern dental courses, emphasising those topics which are particularly relevant to dental practice. With new key fact boxes, clinical cases and further reading, this new edition will be easier and more fun to use for the dental student. Orthodontics is concerned with facial growth and the development of the dentition and occlusion. A solid understanding of orthodontics is an essential prerequisite to treatment planning in children and in the management of adult dentition. As a result of the speed at which clinical practice changes, a new edition of An Introduction to Orthodontics will prove invaluable. The second edition of this popular textbook continues to provide a first- rate introduction to current thinking and the practice of orthodontics. The material has been thoroughly revised and updated, and covers all aspects of orthodontics from management of the mixed dentition to adult and surgical orthodontics. This is an extremely readable and user-friendly book for both undergraduate dentistry students and the interested general dental practitioner alike. The strength of the book lies in its logical and concise format, which is complemented by over 350 full colour photographs.
