Orthodontics and Paediatric Denistry: Colour Guide (Colour Guides)

Orthodontics and paediatric dentistry are important areas of the undergraduate dental curriculum. No pocket colour atlas currently exists. All dentists have to know how to treat children, carry out basic orthodontic treatment and when to refer patients for specialist orthodontic treatment. Most orthodontic work is carried out on children, so the two subjects are conveniently integrated in this Colour Guide.

Color Atlas Of Oral Diseases In Children And Adolescents

Children and adolescents are affected by a large range of diseases with oral manifestations that may not be seen in adults. Such diseases include viral and bacterial infections, but many other conditions as well, for example, after swallowing caustic liquids. As with the author's immensely successful Color Atlas of Oral Diseases, this new work is lavishly illustrated with high-quality color photographs, providing the reader with an at-a-glance diagnostic guide. Succinct texts in tabular form complement the images to help the reader formulate a differential diagnosis and a treatment plan.

A Manual of Paediatric Dentistry
