Book description
The second edition of
Traumatic Dental Injuries: A Manual
builds on the phenomenal success of the first edition, which was
published in 1999. The book has been updated to reflect advances in the
treatment of dental trauma, especially with regard to the urgency of
acute treatment. New chapters include long-term prognosis, diagnosis of
pulp and periodontal healing complications and patient information
subsequent to emergency treatment. Another addition is a chapter
dedicated to the principles of endodontic treatment of traumatized
teeth.
A unique feature of the book is the electronically generated
images of a 'model tooth' subjected to various sorts of trauma. This
allows the dentist to appreciate and compare the manifestations and
treatment outcomes of typical trauma types.
Professor Jens O Andreasen is based at the
Department of Maxillofacial Surgery, University Hospital, Copenhagen.
He is recognized as being at the forefront of dental traumatology.
Dr. Frances Andreasen is a freelance researcher, lecturer and
consultant on dental trauma.
