The orthodontic literature includes many articles on basic science and engineering research techniques, but clinicians are typically unfamiliar with the principles underlying these techniques and may also lack the background knowledge required for a full appreciation of their role. This book comprehensively reviews a wide array of the research methods most frequently encountered in the literature, encompassing the areas of materials science and clinical and biological research. The various methods and techniques are carefully described, and their indications and limitations are explained. All of the information is up to date, reflecting latest developments in the field. For practicing professionals, Research Methods in Orthodontics will be an ideal introduction to instrumental analysis and basic science research methods. It will also serve as an excellent reference guide for researchers. ​

This book introduces the concepts of orthodontics to undergraduate students. Beginning with an introduction to, and the history of, orthodontics, this textbook continues with facial development, orthodontic diagnosis, treatment planning and much more. A separate chapter dedicated to preclinical orthodontics deals with the rationale, armamentarium and step by step wire bending procedure. Management of different types of malocclusion is described, with case records to support the text. Written by leading international experts, this book contains over 2,000 high quality photographs and illustrations, as well as numerous tables, flow charts and boxes. A complementary booklet MCQs in Orthodontics contains over 2,300 multiple choice questions to help with revision and viva voce preparation.
