Recognizing and Correcting Developing Malocclusions
A Problem-Oriented Approach to Orthodontics
About this book
Comprehensive reference providing an evidence-based approach to the early treatment, recognition, and correction of developing malocclusions
Recognizing and Correcting Developing Malocclusions, Second Edition provides an evidence-based approach to early treatment of developing malocclusions, presenting treatment protocols for mixed-dentition patients with various malocclusions and other orthodontic problems. Class I, Class II, and Class III malocclusions are covered extensively, along with eruptive deviations and different malocclusions.
The literature is comprehensively reviewed to ensure that the reader thoroughly understands the development, phenotypic characteristics, and etiology of each type of malocclusion. Taking a problem-oriented approach, the authors provide detailed information for each case, develop comprehensive problem lists, and then present evidence-based treatment solutions.
This newly revised and updated Second Edition contains comprehensive updates to all chapters and sections, including dental trauma and its consequences and sleep apnea in children.
Containing figures, tables, patient pictures, and 3D rendered illustrations throughout to elucidate key concepts, Recognizing and Correcting Developing Malocclusions, Second Edition explores topics including:
- Assessing the degree of severity of a developing malocclusion and recognizing and correcting intra-arch deviations
- Genetics of dental occlusions and malocclusions and mixed dentition orthodontic mechanics
- Strategies for managing missing second premolar teeth in young patients and principles and techniques of premolar autotransplantation
- Abnormal eruption, function, and aesthetics, congenitally missing teeth, autotransplantation, and habits
- Construction of a diagnosis, treatment plan, and estimation of prognosis based on available diagnostic records produced by both old and new technologies
Practical in approach but grounded in the literature, Recognizing and Correcting Developing Malocclusions, Second Edition is equally useful as a patient-side guide for clinicians and as a detailed reference for orthodontic and pediatric specialists and residents.
