Pièges de téléradiographies céphalométriques
RÉSUMÉ
Quelques pièges dans les interprétations des téléradiographies céphalométriques
Il existe de nombreux pièges dans les interprétations des téléradiographies céphalométriques.
Parmi les plus importants, et les moins connus, on doit retenir :
— les conséquences de la méconnaissance d'une dissymétrie de la base du crâne sur les mesures faciales sagittales,
— les graves inconvénients de l'enregistrement des téléradiographies sur un seul point de référence, pour la compréhension de la croissance faciale,
— les inconvénients du choix de certains points repères classiques dans cette compréhension.
SUMMARY
Errors in interpretation of cephalometric teleradiography
The most important and least recognized errors in the interpretation of cephalometric teleradiographs include :
I) the consequences of Jack of recognition of a dissymmetry of the base of the skull in sagittal facial measurements,
2) the serious inconveniences of recording teleradiographs on a single reference point, for the understanding of facial growth, and
3) the inconveniences of the choice of certain conventional landmarks in this comprehension.

Orthodontics - Basic Aspects and Clinical Considerations
The book reflects the ideas of nineteen academic and research experts from different countries. The different sections of this book deal with epidemiological and preventive concepts, a demystification of cranio-mandibular dysfunction, clinical considerations and risk assessment of orthodontic treatment. It provides an overview of the state-of-the-art, outlines the experts' knowledge and their efforts to provide readers with quality content explaining new directions and emerging trends in Orthodontics. The book should be of great value to both orthodontic practitioners and to students in orthodontics, who will find learning resources in connection with their fields of study. This will help them acquire valid knowledge and excellent clinical skills.

Orthodontic Pearls: A Selection of Practical Tips and Clinical Expertise
Orthodontic Pearls is an attempt to fill gaps in a specialist orthodontist's education. It is about know-how rather than knowledge; the first half of the book covers practice administration, patient management and marketing, and the remainder is a selection of clinical tips gleaned from various contributors.
The opening chapter suggests guidelines in practice and operatory design and makes several sensible points, as well as emphasising the importance of good staff attitude. The following three chapters deal quite comprehensively with the approach to managing and recording a new patient, including impression taking and clinical photography.
Chapter 5 stresses the absolute importance of case discussion, which is often overlooked, but vital in today's climate of informed consent. This is a most welcome section of the book, and covers record keeping and communication.
The next chapter goes on to set out the personal views of Winston Senior on marketing a private practice, and repeats some points previously mentioned. It ends with a section on patient compliance — so essential in orthodontics — and discusses the inter-relationships between child, parent, and operator. As suggested in Chapter 5, time spent in explanation and building rapport is invaluable.
The remainder of the book presents a series of clinical tips on fixed appliances, beginning with detailed advice on setting up a fixed appliance, from bonding, through bracketing to arch wire placement. There are some valuable 'pearls' here, especially the use of autoclave type in band cementation, and prevention of wire end trauma.
The perennial problem of distal movement of upper molars is considered, and three chapters focus on finishing and retention — which complete the clinical section. There is an extensive appendix of specimen pro forma letters and forms covering almost every eventuality encountered in practice.
This book is well produced, with clear print and diagrams. The text is liberally sprinkled with headings and highlighted pearls of wisdom. It is good to see a page devoted to oral hygiene, although the authors are over-confident about the average patient's ability to clean well. The use of jigs and headgear are explained in detail, and safety in headgear use emphasised. Chapter 10, on auxiliary springs used in the Begg appliance, should be deleted altogether.
Overall, there are some useful tips throughout the book, but the layout would benefit from less repetition, and keeping topics together under major headings.
