A unique head and neck atlas written for dental students and professionals, this new resource uses more than 700 full-color images from the Frank Netter Collection to richly depict all of the key anatomy that's relevant to clinical practice. The Netter head and neck anatomy plates have long been considered the preeminent illustrations of their kind. Now, many of these original plates have been updated, relabeled, and modified to set an even higher standard.Covers dental clinical correlates such as, maxillary sinus lift · Caldwell Luc procedures · maxillary root tips penetrating into the maxillary sinus · and loss of bone in edentulous patients and its effect on treatment planning.Features Illustrated clinical examples within each chapter, demonstrating the practical relevance of the anatomy. Includes tables that display the maximum amount of information in the minimum space, providing quick access to essential concepts.And much more.

This is a second edition of a hugely successful practical resource in orthodontics and paediatric dentistry - ideal for undergraduate dental students and post-graduates preparing for the MJDF and similar exams.Focuses on clinical problem-solving in orthodonticss and paediatric dentistry - two closely-related topics that are usually separated into different volumes.Provides practical help with treatment planning, guiding the reader through the process of safe and effective decision-making.Provides two different approaches to the clinical cases - some topics include scenarios with questions and answers; others include differential diagnosis with a focus on how to plan and manage treatment effectively. Uses 'key-point" Evidence-Based' boxes systematically to emphasise core knowledge for assessment and provide a rationale for treatment approaches.Contains valuable 'mind-maps', which helps the reader consolidate information prior to exams.  Includes orthodontic sections on severe crowding, additional canine problems, bilateral crossbite covering the use of temporary anchorage devices, incisor root resorbtion from an impacted maxillary canine, cone beam CT, tooth-size discrepancy assessment, transposition, RME, SARPE and self-ligating brackets Includes paedriatric dentistry sections on the use of CPP-ACP, indirect pulp caps, caries diagnosis systems, minimally invasive techniques, and the importance of caries risk assessment and appropriate fluoride prescription, and mechanisms for how flouride works.
