Orthodontics
This second edition has been rewritten to reflect changes in the field. Concentrating on the most current concepts and best treatment methods in modern orthodontics, it provides an overview of diagnosis and treatment planning, followed by descriptions of orthodontic techniques.
Orthodontic Diagnosis
An illustrated guide for the complex process of orthodontic diagnostics and indication. The total process of treatment planning including the scientific bases is pictorially described. Beside the conventional methods of examination and model analysis, emphasis is placed on the cranio-facial growth processes, the aetiology of malocclusions and on the importance of functional analysis. The following three aspects are described in detail in this book: Growth of the Facial Skeleton - types of treatment which promote or guide growth. In order to control these natural processes artificially, a precise understanding of them is required. Aetiology of the Malocclusion - the various types of causative therapy and the elimination of the causes. Functional Analysis - many malocclusions are a result of dysfunctions. As a variety of methods are available for treating dysfunctions, functional analysis is taken very seriously.
Dentofacial Orthopedics with Functional Appliances
This exciting new edition describes the essential details of diagnosis for functional appliances, gives detailed instructions on how to obtain a correct construction bite, describes fabrication and use of various types of functional appliances and discusses the specific treatment of different malocclusion categories. New chapters discuss the expansion-activator and twin block appliance, the functional magnetic system, the Hamilton, the modern Herbst appliance and the Jasper Jumper. Spanish version also available, ISBN: 84-8174-331-3
Dred Scott and the Problem of Constitutional Evil
Dred Scott and the Problem of Constitutional Evil , first published in 2006, concerns what is entailed by pledging allegiance to a constitutional text and tradition saturated with concessions to evil. The Constitution of the United States was originally understood as an effort to mediate controversies between persons who disputed fundamental values, and did not offer a vision of the good society. In order to form a 'more perfect union' with slaveholders, late-eighteenth-century citizens fashioned a constitution that plainly compelled some injustices and was silent or ambiguous on other questions of fundamental right. This constitutional relationship could survive only as long as a bisectional consensus was required to resolve all constitutional questions not settled in 1787. Dred Scott challenges persons committed to human freedom to determine whether antislavery northerners should have provided more accommodations for slavery than were constitutionally strictly necessary or risked the enormous destruction of life and property that preceded Lincoln's new birth of freedom.
T.E.B.: Doctoring in an Age of Scientific Medicine
In T.E.B., Dr. Alan Graber examines the influence and legacy of Dr. Thomas Evans Brittingham II, a legendary physician and educator at Vanderbilt University. Brittingham embodied what it meant to be a doctor. He taught his trainees-by his example-how to care for sick people. This book demonstrates Brittingham as an exemplar of a medical era when a doctor's history and physical exam were the principal means of diagnosis. Brittingham's practice of doctoring still represents the essence of good patient care. "This is much more than a biography. T.E.B. was a master of bedside clinical medicine and left his legend to a generation of young doctors. If anyone was ever 'called' to the profession of medicine, it was T.E.B." -Clifton K. Meador, MD, Professor of Medicine, Emeritus, Vanderbilt University
