9781405188593: Hypodontia: A Team Approach to Management

Inhaltsangabe

Hypodontia: A Team Approach to Management provides specialist clinicians with a practical reference to the multidisciplinary management of patients with this condition. The book synthesises current information and best practice from specialties involved in the treatment of hypodontia into one comprehensive volume, emphasising a problem-based approach throughout.

This volume is structured over three sections. Part One offers background information on the epidemiology and aetiology of hypodontia, its inheritance patterns and syndromic associations, as well as describing the clinical features of the condition and outlining the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to patient care. Part Two addresses key issues in hypodontia management, namely challenges posed by excessive or inadequate space within and between the dental arches, specific occlusal considerations, and problems related to the supporting tissues. Part Three considers treatment of hypodontia within the framework of three broad stages of dental development: the primary/early fixed dentition, the late mixed dentition/early permanent dentition, and finally the established dentition.

Hypodontia: A Team Approach to Management draws on the best available evidence and opinion to provide a complete, in-depth practical resource for dental specialists dealing with this complex condition.

  • Complete multidisciplinary resource on hypodontia
  • Authored by a team with over 30 years of clinical and research experience in the treatment of hypodontia
  • Extensive reference lists
  • Features comprehensive section on age-related approaches to treatment
  • Many clinical illustrations in full colour

&;Hypodontia: A Multidisciplinary Approach&; provides the specialist clinician with a practical reference to the multidisciplinary diagnosis and management of patients with the condition.

Employing a problem based approach throughout, the book is divided into three sections. Section I offers background information on the epidemiology and aetiology of hypodontia, its inheritance patterns and syndromic associations as well as describing the clinical features of the condition and outlining the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to the care of patients.

Section II addresses key issues in hypodontia management; namely problems caused by unacceptable space within and between the dental arches, specific occlusal problems and also complications that can arise in the supporting tissues.

Section III considers three broad groups of patients: the primary/early fixed dentition, the late mixed dentition/early permanent dentition and finally the established dentition with hypodontia. Each chapter will address three main themes: issues specifically related to the age group in question; the multidisciplinary management of patients in the age group with mild, moderate and severe hypodontia; and lastly will include longitudinal examples of treatment of patients in the age group.
