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.
