Orthodontic Treatment of Impacted Teeth provides its readers with a gold-standard resource to tackle common, complex and multi-factorial clinical scenarios. Rooted firmly in the scientific reality, it also provides a valuable repository of the evidence-base for this subject area. The third edition of this classic text has been fully revised and updated to reflect the latest advances in research and clinical practice. It discusses recent developments in the periodontal outcome of surgical exposure of impacted teeth, and also incorporates more protocols for routine cases. This enables clinicians to develop their skills in the simpler cases, as well as to improve their understanding of complex and rare presentations. An especially useful chapter looks at failure and impending failure, providing a valuable insight into the real life management of impacted teeth. The author describes how to recognize failure and proposes ways to avoid it, frequently illustrating them with cases from his own clinic. KEY FEATURES - Fully revised and updated classic

 Becker) it covers pretty much all the aspects an orthodontists should know, September 22, 2016

This textbook is pure gold.
Written by probably the most significant researcher on the topic of impacted teeth and eruption disorders (A. Becker) it covers pretty much all the aspects an orthodontists should know.
The book contains a large variety of clinical photographs, radiographs and CBCTs as well as in-depth analyses of all features of various impactions (prevalence, risk factors, clinical characteristics, radiographic characteristics, associated anomalies, etiology, treatment options etc).
What makes this textbook unique is that it combines clinical information (the author is considered a guru in the orthodontic treatment of impacted teeth with many years of clinical experience both privately and as a Faculty member of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem - Hadassah Faculty of Dental Medicine) with information from the literature (a large amount of references at the end of each chapter) and an emphasis on current evidence. So don't expect an easy read.
In my opinion, this textbook should be mandatory in all postgraduate orthodontic residency programs, together with a more general textbook (Proffit or Graber) and a fair amount of peer-reviewed articles.
