Contents

Diagnosis in Orthodontics includes chapters written by different experts and it offers a survey of new therapeutic and technological possibilities in the field. This book contains both traditional and the most advanced techniques, so a clinician can have a complete view on the subject.

This book offers a thorough analysis of medical and dental history, model cast study, radiography and magnetic resonance imaging, gingival and periodontal study, lateral, frontal and basal cephalometry, growth forecast without treatment, VTO, SVTO, mounting and study in articulator, MPI, axiography, neuromuscular study with EMG, sonography, kinesiography, arthroscopy, aesthetic analysis, contraindications and limitations, cranio-facial syndromes, microrhinic dysplasia, vertical problems, asymmetries and microsomy, mouth breathing, root resorption, skeletal age determination through carpal and cervical vertebrae radiography, as well as the role of computers and video-imaging.

Likewise, the following subjects have been studied, too: incisors position determination, prescription, anchorage and diagnostic considerations in early treatment patients, young and adult patients, surgical, dysfunctional, traumatized patients, and therapeutic possibilities of implants and skeletal distraction, as well as relapse prevention by a good diagnosis.

This volume can be used as a textbook, as a chair-side manual (“step by step” explanations of numerous techniques and procedures), or as a source of knowledge amplification in many subjects through more than 2000 bibliographic references.

Evaluations

Dr. Thomas Graber:

Most textbooks devote relatively little space to Diagnosis and the on-going effects of growth and development, tissue response, sexual dimorphism, patient compliance and potential iatrogenic effects of orthodontic mechanotherapy. What a breath of fresh air this book is! Professor Pablo Echarri has recognized the paucity of diagnostic information and acumen and has put together an outstanding volume. The list of world-class authors of the various chapters reads like a "who's who" of orthodontics.
