Infos

This multi-author clinical guide provides an evidence-based account of the orthodontic management of class II malocclusion. It begins with an overview of class II malocclusion including clinical examples and epidemiological data. This is followed by a chapter discussing timing of treatment, both early and late, and pre- and post-pubertal interventions. Information is given on the evidence base underlying outcomes of treatment, and on clinical management of class II malocclusion, beginning with techniques aimed at growth modification including removable functional appliances, fixed functional appliances and molar distalisation. The book includes a stand-alone chapter on class II division 2 malocclusion and explains conventional camouflage-based orthodontic treatment, treatment of class II malocclusion with lingual appliances and orthodontic-surgical management of class II cases. The last chapters are dedicated to management of class II cases with aligners and retention. In this book, there is an emphasis on evidence-based management of these developing problems and each chapter is richly illustrated with clinical examples. The chapters have been written by an international field of expert clinicians and academics, and will appeal to a wide range of clinicians, including undergraduate dental students, orthodontic specialist trainees and established specialist orthodontists.

Martyn Cobourne graduated in Dental Surgery from King's College School of Medicine and Dentistry in 1990. After a series of junior hospital appointments in Bristol and London he undertook specialty training in orthodontics at the King's College London Dental Institute, obtaining his Membership in Orthodontics in 1997. This was followed by the award of a Clinical Training Fellowship from the UK Medical Research Council in 1998, and a PhD in developmental biology investigating the molecular basis of tooth development at Guy's Dental Hospital. Martyn was appointed as a Senior Lecturer and Honorary Consultant in Orthodontics at King's College London Dental Institute in 2004 and promoted to Professor of Orthodontics in 2011. His basic science research has focused on the role of molecular signaling pathways during early development of the head and face; and his clinical research on the effectiveness of contemporary orthodontic treatment interventions, which has included a number of randomized clinical trials investigating treatment efficiency. He has published more than 200 peer-reviewed articles, including outputs in some of the world's highest-impact biomedical journals. He is the author of two successful orthodontic textbooks including the Handbook of Orthodontics (now in its third edition) and has edited a volume on the management of cleft lip and palate. He was Director of Research at the British Orthodontic Society from 2012-16, Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Orthodontics from 2012-22 (earning the journal its first impact factor) and is an elected member of the Board of Faculty of Dental Surgery at the Royal College of Surgeons of England. He is also Editor of the companion book in this series: orthodontic Management of the Developing Dentition.
