From a clinical perspective, the delivery of appropriate force systems during space closure aims at efficient tooth movements and maintenance of anchorage. A good understanding of mechanics is required when using retraction loops or springs, because minor errors in mechanics can result in major errors in tooth movement. This book gives an overview of various loops used for retraction in Orthodontics.

The influence of the soft tissues in craniofacial growth is very important for the orthodontic diagnosis and the treatment plan. There is influence of airway obstruction on the developmental pattern of the face. Variations in pharyngeal airway space have been described with some sleep disorders such as Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA). This book , therefore, gives an insight into cephalometric airway analysis, influence of various dental treatme...

Management of medically compromised patients is an essential part of dental practice. With the present emphasis of patients on esthetics, the branch of orthodontics has no age bounds. An increasing number of patients with complicated medical conditions and drug regimes are seeking orthodontic treatment.

Oral habits may be a part of normal development, a symptom with deep rooted psychological basis or may be result of abnormal facial growth.These habits bring about harmful unbalanced pressure to bear upon immature highly malleable alveolar ridges, potential changes in position of teeth and occlusion which may become abnormal if the habits are continued for a long time.Hence for a successful management of habit, an understanding of dental impli...

The cranio-facial growth cannot be properly understood without knowledge of the mechanisms controlling it, essentially the role played by the hormones.This book gives an insight into the role played by various hormones and growth factors. An understanding of endocrinology is very important as it enables us to grasp better factors underlying the changes which occur during growth and development and plan functional and orthopedic therapy.

For much of the 20th century, orthodontists have equated mensuration with science, however, measurement is valuable only if one is measuring the right thing. Thus, measuring cephalograms to evaluate dentofacial esthetics is simply not valid. Hopefully, in the 21st century, biometric tools would be used to evaluate the hard and soft tissue factors that are responsible for beautiful smiles and attractive faces. Each patient should be diagnosed a...

Angle, who was determined to use it to correct malocclusions while preserving "the full complement of teeth, ". Charles H. Tweed who, after countless failures, introduced the extraction of four first premolars and anchorage preparation to produce facial balance. It continues through years of achievements to date and will co...

An important part of orthodontic treatment planning involves defining treatment objectives for the correction of malocclusions. This book reviews soft tissue changes with growth, soft tissue changes with treatment (effects of extraction and nonextraction therapy, headgear and functional appliances, protraction facemask, orthognathic surgery), and some aspects of the smile. Defining soft tissue treatment objectives helps the clinician to a trea...

All prosthodontists are aware of the basic objectives of prosthodontic therapy. A comfortable, cosmetically acceptable prosthesis that restores the impaired physiologic activities of speech, deglutition and mastication is a basic objective of prosthodontics care. Despite advances in the plastic surgery there will always be a need for maxillofacial prostheses for cancer and trauma patients. The maxillofacial prostheses present an attractive and...

Infection control, which is one of the most discussed topics in dentistry, has become such an integral part of the practice to the extent that dental health workers no longer question its necessity. Dentists might be occupationally exposed to infectious materials, including body substances and contaminated supplies, equipment, environmental surfaces, water, or air. This book overviews practice protocols to be followed by the dental professiona...
