Orthodontics and paediatric dentistry are important areas of the undergraduate dental curriculum. No pocket colour atlas currently exists. All dentists have to know how to treat children, carry out basic orthodontic treatment and when to refer patients for specialist orthodontic treatment. Most orthodontic work is carried out on children, so the two subjects are conveniently integrated in this Colour Guide.

The Basic Guide to Orthodontic Dental Nursing is a must-have introduction for those seeking to develop their knowledge and understanding of this core area of clinical practice. Written in a clear and accessible format, with colour illustration throughout, the book is a guide for all dental nurses with an interest in orthodontics. It is designed to reflect sections of the syllabus of the Certificate in Orthodontic Dental Nursing. Chapters cover such key topics as tooth eruption patterns, removable and fixed appliances, de-bonding, and retention. There are also sections on care prior to treatment, including the requirements for a first appointment, and there is helpful guidance on maintaining motivation – particularly for young patients and their parents. Published in a compact format for portability and easy reference, this is a valuable addition to the Basic Guides series. Please note Figures 1.2 and 2.4 have now been corrected in the print edition and are available to purchase. All electronic versions have already been corrected.
