The Handbook of Orthodontics, Third Edition, written by Martyn T. Cobourne, provides a clear and accessible overview of the scientific and clinical foundations of orthodontics. This study book is intended for postgraduate students and dental students who want to deepen their knowledge of clinical orthodontics.
The content extensively covers theories of occlusion, malocclusion, craniofacial development, and postnatal growth of the dentition. In addition, it discusses the principles of patient assessment, orthodontic diagnosis, and treatment planning. Special attention is given to the treatment of malocclusions, dentofacial orthopedics, fixed appliances, skeletal anchorage, aligner systems, and orthognathic surgery. The handbook places a strong focus on evidence-based medicine, with practical examples and a special section on clinical research and critical appraisal.
The book is richly illustrated with more than 650 images, including over 150 new figures, and includes concrete updates, text boxes on controversies, and an extensive bibliography with summaries of important studies. Its compact size makes it suitable as a reference work for quick consultation. On purchase, a digital edition is included that makes it possible to search content, mark it, and add notes.
