Book description
Hypodontia: A Team Approach to Management
provides specialist clinicians with a practical reference to the
multidisciplinary management of patients with this condition. The book
synthesises current information and best practice from specialties
involved in the treatment of hypodontia into one comprehensive volume,
emphasising a problem-based approach throughout.
This volume is
structured over three sections. Part One offers background information
on the epidemiology and aetiology of hypodontia, its inheritance
patterns and syndromic associations, as well as describing the
clinical features of the condition and outlining the importance of a
multidisciplinary approach to patient care. Part Two addresses key
issues in hypodontia management, namely challenges posed by excessive
or inadequate space within and between the dental arches, specific
occlusal considerations, and problems related to the supporting
tissues. Part Three considers treatment of hypodontia within the
framework of three broad stages of dental development: the
primary/early fixed dentition, the late mixed dentition/early
permanent dentition, and finally the established dentition.
Hypodontia: A Team Approach to Management draws on the best
available evidence and opinion to provide a complete, in-depth
practical resource for dental specialists dealing with this complex condition.
