Orthodontic diagnosis and treatment are integrated into the wider health of the patient, including orthopedics, neurology, pediatrics, genetics and psychology, and the result is a modern, adaptable approach that places the patient and their needs at its center to achieve the highest possible standard of patient care. Readers of the second edition of Integrated Clinical Orthodontics will also find: New chapters on neuromuscular disorders, customized orthodontics, artificial intelligence, ethics and patient data Expanded content on special care in dentistry Guidance for the clinical interactions between orthodontics and other areas of dentistry and medicine Clinical implications and applications of the integrated approach in every chapter Integrated Clinical Orthodontics is an essential resource for clinical orthodontists and specialists in related medical and dental fields who wish to take the holistic view of orthodontic practice.
This book is exceptional in being dedicated solely to root resorption caused by orthodontic tooth movement. While the core content is based on scientific evidence, the book is intended as a practical aid for the clinician who performs orthodontics. After explanation of the different types of root resorption, a series of clinically oriented chapters focus particularly on external apical root resorption. Readers will find clear guidance on etiology, risk factors, diagnosis, imaging, patient management and education, and treatment options. The long-term prognosis of teeth with resorbed roots is thoroughly discussed, and advice is provided on the measures that should be adopted if severe root resorption is encountered during or at the end of treatment. Valuable information is also presented on the practice management side of the problem, covering informed consent, record keeping, and documentation of risk. The closing chapter examines likely future directions in root resorption management. The principal author has lectured and published on the subject for more than 25 years and is internationally recognized as a leading authority. This is the FIRST book solely dedicated to orthodontic root resorption!
