This book is divided into 7 chapters. The fundamental problems in orthodontics, namely biomechanical factors, extrusion, intrusion, rotation, torque, force and resorption relationship, orthodontic dental movement, hereditary anomalies, genetics, mechanobiology and orthodontic side effects are the subject of the first chapter. Treatment of lateral and anterior crossbite in primary and early mixed dentition, crossbite in late mixed dentition and in adults, and treatment of laterognathia in adults, definition and therapy of deep bite in mixed and permanent dentition, orthodontic mechanics for bite raising and orthognathic surgery and deep bite are developed in Chapter 2 and 3. rthodontic problems of open bite, treatment of open bite in the primary, mixed and permanent dentition, treatment of open bite and Angle Class I, II and III, biomechanics, extraction, molar intrusion, and orthognathic surgery of open bite are described along chapter 4.

Extraction therapy is the theme of the last chapter, in which we are acquainted with extraction therapy in the early mixed and permanent dentition and in Class I, II and III anomalies and stability parameters. The book is accompanied by an index. This book is the result of many years of clinical research and practical activity and reflects the therapeutic concept of orthodontic treatment of the universities in Ulm, Basel and Munich. The book is an update of the basic principles of biology, mechanics, and biomechanics using the latest materials and techniques. It provides the reader with concepts of treatment from functional orthodontics to the integration of retained teeth, anchorage options, finishing and retention and aesthetic alternatives.

The " Workbook " by Dr. Carlos A. Ayala Paz, one of the most renowned dental photographers, makes a plea for the current clinical photography to become an artistic act. First, the author gives us the common terms that he uses during the ten chapters. After describing the possibilities of flashlightes and those of shaping the light there follows an analysis of the modifiers, hard and soft light, and beauty dish, hard and soft setup. In the following chapters, the author thoroughly comments on the criteria how to obtain the best image of the face, eyes and lips through illumination. The technical conditions for lighting for teeth, macro and micro for Canon and Nikon cameras are amply presented and illustrated. A special presentation is devoted to illuminating the gingiva. The last chapter presents details for getting the best photos in the dental laboratory. The author fully succeeds in pursuing the goal of simplifying techniques and reducing equipment for macro and micro photography to obtain a more natural image of the teeth and mouth. The book addresses both dental practitioners and dental technicians providing technical and practical support to make their own activity visible in the best conditions.
