Dr Frans P. G. M. van der Linden, Professor Emeritus in the Department of Orthodontics at Radboud University Nijmegen, Netherlands in his new book entitled“ Development of the Human Dentition”, presents the complexity of the development of dentition, deciduous and permanent. The book is divided in 17 chapters. It starts with tooth formation, development of deciduous dentition, transitional period( first, inter, and second) and changeover to the permanent dentition. After the general aspects on the development of the dentition on adults, it talks about the interactions between dentition, skeleton, and function. Only by understanding the normal development of the adult dentition can we understand abnormalities of the dental arches and orthodontic malocclusions. In the next following chapters the readers are provided with information about open bites, asymmetries, transverse deviations, forced bites and premature loss of deciduous teeth. In the last chapter the author presents statistical data selected and compiled from the results of studies carried out mainly in Western countries. The book entitled“ Development of the Human Dentition” is an exceptional guide for all those who wish to deepen their knowledge on dentition development, dental occlusion and especially the effectiveness of complex orthodontic treatment.

The authors of this book have developed a new vision on dental diagnosis and the treatment plan in their book called“ Global Diagnosis”. The book tries to provide clear and well-illustrated answers to the following five CORE questions: 1. What are the facial proportions and skeletal relationships? 2. What are the length and mobility of the upper lip? 3 What is the relationship between the gingival line and the horizon? 4. What is the length of the maxillary central incisor? 5. Is the CEJ palpable in the gingival sulcus? The book has thirteen chapters and highlights how these five questions are used to determine the diagnosis and treatment option for various cases including crown lengthening, tissue grafting, intrusion, forced eruption, orthognathic surgery, dental facial plastics and extrusion. The final chapter provides the treatment planning template based on the CORE questions and encourages the readers to plan the treatment for these five case studies. The book includes a CD and a lot of illustrations which help the clinician to establish a global diagnosis for the most difficult cases treatments.
