Contents:

Diagnosis in Orthodontics includes chapters written by different experts and it offers the view to new therapeutic and technological possibilities in the area. This book contains both traditional and the most advanced techniques, so the clinician can have the 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 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 with 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.

It has been a joy for me to read and provide a Prologue for this fine book. Professor Pablo Echarri Lobiondo has achieved his objective admirably of giving the clinician a broad perspective of the multifactorial nature of orthodontic diagnosis. At the same time, he and his international team of experts provide specific details than can translate into better diagnosis and treatment of our patients. Thus the book has a surprisingly strong clinical orientation, bolstered by scientific verification. I expect to see this book used both as a textbook and as a chair-side manual by students and practitioners. Read, profit and enjoy!
