New directions include an emerging field of functional neuroimaging in orthodontics. So far, there were a few studies on healthy volunteers with experimental malocclusion Oda M. The purpose of this study was to explore cortical representation of To reduce magnetic field inhomogeneity artifacts, which are major in patients with metal braces Mathew C. Results There was a substantial interindividual variability of activation patterns across patients.

Two patients demonstrated positive dynamics of dental occlusion right after expansion of the dental arches, so they did not receivefurther treatment and took part in only two fMRI sessions. One of them Ch. Conclusion In our study we tried to find correlations between fMRI data and orthodontic treatment outcomes to test whetherfMRI can be used to predict theefficiency of treatment.

There are relevant and thought-provoking facts on neurophysiology dispersed throughout these chapters for the interested reader. However, the text is rather repetitive, with a lack of structure to the content, despite the use of sub-headings.

The Neurobiology of Orthodontics: Treatment of Malocclusion by Margaritis Z. Pimenidis

Chapters 5 covers speech and language development and chapters 6 and 7 discuss the relationship between mastication, occlusion malocclusion , and nervous function. Chapters 8 and 10 relate specifically to orthodontics, but again, more in relation to sensory input and neural control in structures associated with malocclusion and tooth movement. This chapter would be better located in the first half of this book, if it is included at all.

I was very intrigued by the title, but having read the book, I am left with a sense of mild disappointment.

What is discussed, to a limited degree, is the ability of the nervous system to adapt and develop new pathways to alter oral behaviour once conventional orthodontic treatment has corrected the malocclusion. However, for the interested reader, this book is an introduction to a number of interesting concepts in relation to neural adaptability. If this book is printed as a second edition, then it would certainly benefit from rigorous editorial input to eliminate the repetition and bring a better structure to the book.

Common Malocclusions in Orthodontics

The reader would benefit from an initial chapter revising neuroanatomy and physiology, assuming that the majority of readers will be dental clinicians. The book would also be greatly improved by the addition of diagrams to enable the reader to visualize the neural pathways being discussed in the text.

I am concerned that many of the references used are textbooks, a large number of which are 30—40 years old, or are even older.

The subject area with which I am most up-to-date, masticatory muscle fibre types, is included at the most basic and out-dated level that heightens my concern for the current accuracy of some of the other information that has been taken from older texts and articles. In a second edition, the reference list would need to be significantly updated. The index is so short as to be virtually useless.

Overall, this book serves to highlight the importance of continuing to teach the basic sciences to dental undergraduates and the importance of the scientific basis for the treatment of our patients. As was the author's aim, I would see it used as background reading for those beginning research in the area of oral adaptation to malocclusion and its treatment.
