 some major topics in the ABO like embryology, biology of tooth movement, April 21, 2016
By Jay

This book does not cover some of the basic theory required for the ABO exam. For example, some major topics in the ABO like embryology, biology of tooth movement, bio-materials, extractions, canine impactions, root resorption, white spot lesions, presurgical orthodontics etc. are overlooked in the text. Instead, there is an overemphasis on 3D imaging with chapters 5, 25 and 26 dedicated to this topic. Similarly the contents in chapters 12, 20, 24 are never questioned in the exam. Also, I found there is too much overlap between some topics (e.g. functional appliances ch 11 & 13). The chapter 12 on Invisilign system looks as if it is an advertisement sponsored by Align Tech (most of the references in this chapter are from non-peer reviewed sources). Ideally the authors should have provided an unbiased overview of all clear aligners. The chapter on skeletal anchorage (ch 18) is more about conventional palatal implants rather than mini-implants that are often the focus of the ABO exam. The chapter I liked most was the one on craniofacial deformities (Ch 21) which was well written.
Actually, when the second edition of this came out I expected that some of the shortcomings of the first edition would have been corrected. But unfortunately only cosmetic changes to the page layout have been done without rigorous editing of the content. Some of the answers are too wordy and fails to answer the question. For example, one of the questions in chapter 11 is “What are the contraindications to early treatment?” Instead of providing a direct response to this straightforward question, the answer provided by the authors are “early orthodontic treatment is not always necessary or appropriate. Certainly not all orthodontic therapy delivered under the guise of "early treatment" is good treatment, as for example in instances of young patients being treated for extended periods of time with regimens that have ill-defined goals and unpredictable outcomes. In such situations, early treatment may serve only to increase treatment duration and cost; such intervention may result in patient and parental "burnout." Early treatment is not indicated in those instances in which early intervention does not change the environment appreciably for dentofacial development and permanent tooth eruption”. Even wasting time to ready this lengthy essay, I am cannot still find the contraindications for early treatment.
So my final take: this book may be ONLY used in the initial stages of preparing for the exam for providing an overview of some clinical topics and should NOT be relied as the sole text for the ABO exam.
