Orthodontic and Surgical Management of Impacted Teeth First Edition

Comprehensive Guide to Managing Impacted Teeth in Dental Practice

Impacted teeth are a common issue in dental practice, yet there is currently no comprehensive resource that details the surgical treatments and orthodontic therapies for their eruption or management. Authored by one of the leading orthodontists in the world and his periodontist colleague with nearly 40 years of collaboration, this text addresses the various types of impactions that orthodontists and surgeons encounter, including maxillary central incisors, maxillary canines (both labially and palatally impacted), mandibular canines, premolars, and mandibular molars. Each chapter is dedicated to a specific impacted tooth, outlining how to surgically uncover and orthodontically reposition it.

Additionally, the book includes a chapter on cases that have not succeeded, discussing what went wrong and how to avoid similar negative outcomes in future treatments. This comprehensive and up-to-date resource is ideal for any dental practitioner involved in the management of impacted teeth and serves as a fitting legacy for Dr. Kokich, whose influence on the field of orthodontics will be felt for years to come.
