Beschreibung

Self-Ligation in Orthodontics is a major new text that reviews, analyses and clarifies this exciting development in the field of orthodontics.

The book offers an analysis of the basic properties of self-ligating brackets and provides a comprehensive review of their mechanism of engagement with archwires, along with clinical and scientific evidence on their performance. Content spans all relevant aspects of materials, biomechanics and clinical management of self-ligating brackets employing an evidence-based approach. The current state of evidence is reviewed and provided in a wide range of topics pertinent to the design, properties, bonding, efficiency and treatment variables of self-ligating brackets.

Self-Ligation in Orthodontics is also a useful clinical guide that epitomizes the management of self-ligating treatment suggesting important treatment concepts and tips for the practicing clinician.

THE EDITORS Both editors graduated from the School of Dentistry, University of Athens (Greece) and the Orthodontic postgraduate program of the Ohio State University, earning a Master's degree. Theodore Eliades additionally holds a doctorate in biomedical materials from the University of Athens, and a PhD in biomaterials from the University of Manchester. He is an Associate Professor of Orthodontics at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (Greece), and affiliated with institutes in the USA and EU (Texas, Marquette, Manchester, and Bonn). His research on biomaterials has generated 85 articles, 15 chapters and 4 books, the diffusion of which into fields associated with natural and engineering sciences led to a fellowship at the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining, and a membership in both the Royal Society of Chemistry and the Institute of Physics. Dr Eliades is Editor-in-Chief of the forthcoming Journal of Dental Biomechanics (Sage), Associate Editor of the European Journal of Orthodontics, and the American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, Editorial Board member in 5, and reviewer in 20 journals. Nikolaos Pandis completed a fellowship in Craniofacial Orthodontics at the University of Texas, Southwester Medical Center. He is currently a doctoral Fellow at the University of Bonn and enrolled in the Master of Clinical Trials program at the College of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, University of London. He has published over 20 articles in the areas of self-ligating appliances and bonding, and is a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics. Dr Pandis maintains an orthodontic practice in Corfu, Greece.
