This comprehensive book presents the essentials of orthodontic treatment using mini-implants: selection, placement, biomechanics, diagnosis, and treatment strategies. The authors detail the biomechanical application of mini-screw-supported alveolar anchorage in precise and effective therapeutic protocols to treat every type of malocclusion, including orthodontic movements that were difficult or even impossible to achieve previously. The authors also discuss the management of mini-implants in multidisciplinary treatment. With clearly defined indications, codified protocols, and reproducible therapeutic efficacy and clinical results, this book details a full-fledged treatment system that uses mini-implants to achieve functional and esthetic outcomes.

Mini-implants are now an indispensable tool in the orthodontic armamentarium that all practitioners can use for greater treatment efficiency. The benefits of mini-implant-driven orthodontics include:
• Fewer extractions
• Greater anterior and posterior vertical control
• Reduced treatment time
• Segmented treatment regimens

Dr. Skander Ellouze DDS, MS, PhD

Dr Ellouze received his dental degree in Monastir (Tunisia), before completing his orthodontics training at the University of Bordeaux (France), and his lingual orthodontics training at the University René-Descartes of Paris (DUOL). He is an active member of the European College of Orthodontics (CEO), the European Society of Lingual Orthodontics (ESLO), and the World Society of Lingual Orthodontics (WSLO). Dr Ellouze is an Associate Professor of the Department of Orthodontics at the University of Bordeaux, and lectures for the lingual orthodontic program at several universities in Europe. He is a recognized leader in the field of lingual orthodontics, passive self-ligation, and skeletal anchorage systems (TADs). In addition to his private practice, Dr Ellouze frequently lectures internationally, and has published several articles in the european orthodontic literature, focusing mainly on a new treatment approach combining TADs with the most advanced treatment systems.

Immediate Loading A New Era in Oral Implantology 1st Edition 2010 Artikelnr.: 17581 280.00 € Testori, Tiziano / Galli, Fabio / del Fabbro, Massimo Immediate Loading A New Era in Oral Implantology As implant dentistry continues to evolve, one of the most promising new treatment strategies is immediate loading. Recent studies have demonstrated that immediate loading actually stimulates peri-implant osteogenesis by accelerating the fracture repair process, thereby increasing implant retention while minimizing surgical invasiveness, treatment time, and the psychologic distress of the patient. This book, written by a team of researchers and clinicians with specialized knowledge and experience[...]	Burstone, Charles J./Choy, Kwan... The Biomechanical Foundation of Clinical Orthodontics 1st edition 2015 Artikelnr.: 15941 180.00 € Burstone, Charles J. / Choy, Kwangchul The Biomechanical Foundation of Clinical Orthodontics All orthodontic treatment modalities can be improved by the application of sound biomechanics, yet most orthodontic therapy today is delivered without consideration of forces or force systems. Orthodontic hardware itself is only a means to an end point, such as tooth alignment, bone remodeling, or growth modifications; the orthodontist can achieve these goals only by manipulating forces, regardless of the techniques used. Written by a world-renowned authority on the subject, this book teaches bi[...]
Kula, Katherine / Ghoneima, Ahmed Cephalometry in Orthodontics: 2D and 3D 1st Edition 2018 Artikelnr.: 21511 118.00 € Kula, Katherine / Ghoneima, Ahmed Cephalometry in Orthodontics: 2D and 3D Cephalometrics has been used for decades to diagnose orthodontic problems and evaluate treatment. However, the shift from 2D to 3D radiography has left some orthodontists unsure about how to use this method effectively. This book defines and depicts all cephalometric landmarks on a skull or spine in both 2D and 3D and then identifies them on radiographs. Each major cephalometric analysis is described in detail, and the linear or angular measures are shown pictorially for better understanding. As[...]	Nakajima, Eiichiro Manual of Wire Bending Techniques 1st edition 2010 Artikelnr.: 18581 85.00 € Nakajima, Eiichiro Manual of Wire Bending Techniques Effective wire bending techniques that are customized to each individual patient make orthodontic treatment more efficient and can reduce treatment time. In lieu of overly complicated wire bending, the author of this manual promotes precise, intuitive bending and presents the proven methods that work with any biologically compatible wire. The essential components and techniques of customized wire bending are detailed step-by-step, including trimming of casts; selection and proper manipulation [...]

This book approaches clear aligner treatment from a diagnosis and treatment-planning perspective, discussing time-tested orthodontic principles like biomechanics and anchorage and demonstrating how to apply them to orthodontic cases using these appliances. Each chapter explains how to use clear aligners to treat a given malocclusion and teaches clinicians how to program a suit[...]
