Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: Janet H. Southerland, DDS, MPH, PhD (The University of Texas Medical Branch)
Description: The focus of this book is on the use of virtual planning for orthodontic treatment. Using digital and 3-D documentation represents innovation in the field of orthodontics in documentation, analysis of occlusion, treatment planning, design, and appliance fabrication.
Purpose: The purpose is to provide an overview of developments in orthodontics with an emphasis on 3-D imaging, digital treatment planning, and monitoring, as well as CAD/CAM fabrication of appliances. With the many technology advances in dentistry, the use of these techniques to help practitioners improve predictability of orthodontic treatment outcomes is a worthy objective.
Audience: This is intended as a useful guide for orthodontists, oral and maxillofacial surgeons, and practicing dentists. In addition, the book is relevant for orthodontic residents and other graduate level trainees interested in digital documentation, analyzing, and treating malocclusion. The authors have the requisite expertise in the specialties of orthodontics and digital imaging.
Features: The book covers many of the aspects of evaluation and treatment using digital and 3-D/4-D imaging systems. The book covers 3D imaging of the dentition and the face with intraoral scanners, CBCT machines, 3-D facial scanners, documentation of dentition and occlusion, monitoring tooth movement, as well as custom appliance design and fabrication. The book's best features are the high quality illustrations, images, and photographs.
Assessment: This is a quality book that provides a good overview of the current uses of digital imaging and modeling for custom orthodontic planning and treatment. It provides information on innovations in orthodontic treatment using the newest technology and thus has few comparators in this area. It is a good addition to the field.
