Book Description

Orthodontics and paediatric dentistry are important areas of the undergraduate dental curriculum in which no pocket colour atlas currently exists. All dentists have to know how to treat children, how to carry out basic orthodontic treatment and when to refer patients for specialist orthodontic treatment. The vast majority of orthodontic work is carried out on children, so the two subjects are conveniently integrated in this Colour Guide.

 

Features

High quality colour pictures of the full range of orthodontic and paediatric conditions. Proven colour guide format with brief but systematic text highly suitable for revision purposes. Covers two related areas of the dental curriculum in one book - will be good value for students.
