Orthodontic and Surgical Management of Impacted Teeth

Each chapter deals with a particular type of impacted tooth — maxillary central incisors, maxillary canines impacted buccally or palatally, mandibular canines, premolars and mandibular molars — and explains how to expose it surgically and how to move it afterwards with orthodontics. The joint authorship of an orthodontist and a periodontist gives the text a double perspective on a problem common in practice, where the outcome depends on the two procedures being coordinated. A chapter is also devoted to failed cases: what went wrong and how to avoid repeating it in similar situations. Written in English, it will interest any professional who takes on the management of impacted teeth.
