Evidence based Orthodontics.

      Аннотация: As dentistry in the 21st century struggles with the philosophical issue of evidence-based practice, the specialty of orthodontics, too, stands at a crossroads.Historically, orthodontics has uncomfortably straddled the fence separating oral health care and elective cosmetology. While societal and cultural mores increasingly have shifted toward facial and anterior tooth aesthetics, dentists have continued to view the primary goal of orthodontics as correcting tooth alignment and occlusion. This book examines some of the data-driven advances in clinical orthodontics and how they might influence the decision making process in that specialty.
