Book Description

Increasingly, general dental practitioners wish to provide basic orthodontic care for their patients. However, it is essential that they are able to distinguish between the straightforward cases they can treat and those that are more complex and require specialist attention. The unique format of this book offers practitioners the opportunity to improve their diagnostic skills on a wide range of everyday orthodontic problems. It will also appeal to specialists in training as a self test exercise prior to taking higher examinations. The book is in three main sections. The first is a guide to the examination of the orthodontic patient and a practical approach to treatment planning. The second section contains the pre-treatment records of twenty selected cases. These can be studied using the system outlined in section one. The remaining part of the book presents the correct case assessments, the preferred treatment options and the post-treatment records.
