Implants in Orthodontics (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781638509837)

Orthodontic implants has become a reliable method in orthodontic practice for providing temporary additional anchorage. These devices are useful to control skeletal anchorage in less complaint patients or in cases where absolute anchorage is necessary. There are great number of advantages in this new approach which includes easy insertion, decreased patient discomfort, low price, immediate loading, reduced diameter, versatility in the forces to be used, ease of cleaning, and ease of removal. However, a proper management of the screws by the practitioner is necessary in order to increase the success rate of the technique. The purpose of this book is to update practioners and orthodontic postgraduate students on current concepts of orthodontic implants and orthodontic mechanics. This book will also be beneficial for undergraduate Dental students for their theory examination as this is an important topic to them. Hope this book will benefit all.
