Chung H. Kau & Stephen Richmond 
Three-Dimensional Imaging for Orthodontics and Maxillofacial Surgery 

Three Dimensional Imaging for Orthodontics and Maxillofacial
Surgery is a major new specialist resource that identifies and
applies the principles of three dimensional imaging to orthodontic
practice. Readers are introduced to three-dimensional
imaging, comparing it with the traditional two-dimensional
assessments and exploring the benefits and drawbacks of these
imaging modalities.

Three Dimensional Imaging for Orthodontics and Maxillofacial
Surgery centers on the appropriate application of three-dimensional
imaging in the various practices related to orthodontic delivery
and craniofacial surgery. The book guides the reader through
detailed and illustrated examples of three-dimensional patient
management in the context of daily practice. Both
three-dimensional static and motion analyses are explored. The book
also addresses growth, orthodontic treatment and surgical
prediction, both static and dynamic and explores the use of
morphing and finite element analyses with particular focus on
surgical intervention.

A key resource for specialist working in the fields of
orthodontics and cranio-maxillofacial surgery.
