An accessible and thorough guide to debonding and fixed retainer
bonding Debonding and Fixed Retention in Orthodontics: An
Evidence-Based Clinical GuideĀ reviews the protocols,
materials, and techniques required at two key stages of orthodontic
treatment. The book has been written as a reference guide and the
chapters introduce the best-supported and most efficient approaches
to each stage of debonding and fixed retainer bonding treatments,
from choice of material through to final results. The book includes
relevant procedures including orthodontic appliance removal,
appliance debonding, the use of rotating instruments, and enamel
cleaning. The authors also provide guidance on topics such as the
failure of fixed retainers, enamel structural defects, periodontal
effects, and aerosol production, to aid in positive result
retention. Readers will also find: Two extensive sections covering
debonding and fixed retainer bonding Evidence-based guidelines for
each stage of treatment Summaries of the side effects of procedures
on hard and soft dental tissues Tips to avoid potential unfavorable
sequelae Detailed lists of existing methods and their clinical
implications Debonding and Fixed Retainer Bonding is written for
orthodontic specialists, clinicians, and postgraduate dental
students looking to build knowledge and ensure the best results
during these two stages of orthodontic therapy.
This book provides a timely and comprehensive review of our current
knowledge of BPA release from dental polymers and the potential
endocrinological consequences. After a review of the history and
evolution of the issue within the broader biomedical context, the
estrogenicity of BPA is explained. The basic chemistry of the
polymers used in dentistry is then presented in a simplified and
clinically relevant manner. Key chapters in the book carefully
evaluate the release of BPA from polycarbonate products and
composite resins and the estrogenicity of these materials.
Currently available evidence on the potential estrogenic action of
dental composities, sealants, and adhesives is presented, and means
are suggested by which adverse health effects can be minimized. The
entire dental community will find this book to be an excellent
source of information on the true risks posed by BPA, and an
invaluable aid to safe practice.
This book comprehensively reviews bonding to enamel, dentin and
cementum and analyses relevant adhesion mechanisms. It is addressed
to both the dental researcher and the clinician. Emphasis is placed
on the characterization of material interfaces with dental tissues
in situ. The volume also stresses the importance of appropriate
experimental protocol design in facilitating clinically-relevant
research methods, clarifies the mechanisms of adhesion of polymeric
materials to hard dental tissues and furnishes a handy reference
for routine clinical procedures in restorative and prosthetic
dentistry as well as orthodontics. The book introduces important
aspects of the chemistry of dental materials and their adaptation
to dental hard tissues. It also analyses interfacial phenomena
occurring during application of materials, including mechanical
properties, and structural-compositional alterations. The text
presents the current instrumental approaches in studying related
issues and a summary of the current status of theories concerning
bonding to dental tissues. This work, in its scope and scientific
content, provides an in-depth view of the way in which aesthetic
dentistry is currently being practiced.

For almost 20 years, clear aligners have seen growing popularity in
addressing patients' demands for orthodontic treatment that is also
discreet and esthetically inconspicuous. Especially for the adult
patient, these almost invisible systems are in considerable demand.
Supported by solid clinical evidence, this new work introduces and
discusses all the presently available thermoplastically formed
products that apply a predetermined strain to the teeth and jaw,
with the goal of correcting malpositioned teeth, while also being
esthetically acceptable for the patient. Key Features: More than a
dozen contributions by top international experts Includes the most
recent guidelines on clinical management with aligners Scientific
approach presents evidence from material properties research,
forces generated with aligners, and treatment outcome assessments
Valuable information on changes in oral microbiota, potential side
effects, biocompatibility, and more Orthodontic Aligner Treatment
will be welcomed by all orthodontic specialists, as well as
graduate students, researchers, and clinical faculty in the field.
This book includes complimentary access to a digital copy on

Orthodontic Applications of Biomaterials: A Clinical Guide reviews
the applications of biomaterials and their effects on enamel
preparation, bonding, bracket and archwire ligation,
mechanotherapy, debonding, and long-term enamel structural, color,
and surface effects. The book provides a step-by-step analysis of
the phenomena occurring, their clinical importance, and their
underlying cause without the use of complex mathematical or
physical-chemical analyses, with the goal of providing 'digestible'
evidence for the clinician.

Orthodontic Postgraduate Education: A Global Perspective
Orthodontic Postgraduate Education: A Global Perspective is the
first book of its kind to report on the global educational
environment in orthodontics and review the structure and function
of postgraduate orthodontic programs in different parts of the
world. It begins with an overview of the history and current state
of orthodontic education, and then describes the academic,
clinical, and research components of orthodontic specialty programs
in Europe, North America, Asia, the Middle East, and Oceania. The
book also provides useful facts about the organizational aspects of
orthodontic board examinations. Highlights: Presents key details on
the curricula of postgraduate orthodontic programs around the
world, allowing for direct comparison of various programs Includes
updated guidelines on accreditation criteria for international,
national, and regional professional organizations and scientific
societies Lists all major objectives for postgraduate orthodontic
education and orthodontic specialty recognition Addresses the
educational roles of new technologies, professional development,
scientific journals, and research in postgraduate orthodontic
education Features a self-assessment guide for internal evaluation
based on previous published work Offers a true global perspective
with chapters authored by a multinational team of leading experts
This book contains a wealth of valuable information for any dental
student considering application to a postgraduate orthodontic
program. It is also a thorough and up-to-date resource for
