Textbook & Color Atlas of Traumatic Injuries to the Teeth

Textbook and Color Atlas of Traumatic Injuries to the Teeth encompasses the full scope of acute dental trauma, including all aspects of inter-disciplinary treatment. This fourth edition captures the significant advances which have been made in the subject of dental traumatology, since the publication of the last edition more than a decade ago. The comprehensive nature of the book is designed to appeal to distinguished clinicians and scholars of dental traumatology, whether they be oral surgeons, pediatric dentists, endodontists, or from a related specialist community. Long considered the "gold standard" book on the subject, the fourth edition builds on this reputation and presents the definitive standards in the field. The role of established clinical therapies has been vigorously updated. New chapters have been added to reflect esthetic procedures including bleaching of discolored teeth, and the use of minimally invasive veneers. Other topics new for consideration in this volume include: the optimization of pulp and periodontal healing, splinting of teeth, and the use of Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) in endodontic interventions. Clinical treatment is put into context with coverage on prevention of traumatic injuries, cost-benefit considerations, and psycho-social aspects of dental trauma. Prognosis is carefully discussed, and is presented along with information specially designed for dissemination to patients and third parties. In this fourth edition, the legendary Andreasens welcome a new fellow editor, Lars Andersson. They are joined by 25 new contributors who add to the luminary author team.
