Every chapter in this book is generously illustrated
with clinical photographs and radiographic
images, and the latest scientific research is referenced.
The reader can also access the companion
website, where video case presentations with animated
CBCTs are available. Overall, this is an indepth,
indispensable source of knowledge that you
will return to again and again.

"The text is supplemented with first-rate animations of clinical photographs and diagnostic imaging. There is a plethora of cases illustrating routine clinical situations but also a chapter on less common cases where difficult decisions have to be made. There are separate chapters dedicated to the root form of impacted teeth, the special challenges of treating impacted teeth associated with dentigerous cysts and caring for patients with Cleidocranial dysplasia. There is also an excellent chapter entitled 'The Anatomy of Failure' on patient- and clinician-dependent reasons for unfavourable treatment outcomes. Many of the chapters give an excellent historical perspective on how treatment has changed over the recent decades"
