Textbook and Color Atlas of Traumatic Injuries to the Teethencompasses the full scope of acute dental trauma, including all aspects of inter-disciplinary treatment. This fourth edition captures the significant advances which have been made in the subject of dental traumatology, since the publication of the last edition more than a decade ago. The comprehensive nature of the book is designed to appeal to distinguished clinicians and scholars of dental traumatology, whether they be oral surgeons, pediatric dentists, endodontists, or from a related specialist community.

Long considered the “gold standard” book on the subject, the fourth edition builds on this reputation and presents the definitive standards in the field. The role of established clinical therapies has been vigorously updated. New chapters have been added to reflect esthetic procedures including bleaching of discolored teeth, and the use of minimally invasive veneers. Other topics new for consideration in this volume include: the optimization of pulp and periodontal healing, splinting of teeth, and the use of Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) in endodontic interventions.

Clinical treatment is put into context with coverage on prevention of traumatic injuries, cost-benefit considerations, and psycho-social aspects of dental trauma. Prognosis is carefully discussed, and is presented along with information specially designed for dissemination to patients and third parties.

In this fourth edition, the legendary Andreasens welcome a new fellow editor, Lars Andersson. They are joined by 25 new contributors who add to the luminary author team.

The first edition of this comprehensive reference was published in 1981, and the third, more than a decade ago; incorporating advances made since then, the fourth will be welcomed by oral surgeons, pediatric dentists, endodontists, and related specialists. Thirty-five contributed chapters focus on various kinds of trauma and optimization of healing, including inter-disciplinary treatment. In addition, clinical treatment is put in context with discussion of prevention, prognosis, economic aspects, and public awareness recommendations. Approximately 1300 figures, 800 in color, support the text. Of the three editors, two are based in Denmark, the third in Kuwait. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Review Comments on the 4th Edition

Drs Jens Andreasen, Frances Andreasen and Lars Andersson, along with 41 contributors, have created a truly marvellous work of professional sophistication, clinical relevance, compassionate awareness and futuristic projections in this evidence-based approach to the contemporary challenges that practitioners and researchers face in the understanding and management of traumatic injuries to the teeth.

Overall this text and its contents are second to none in all of dental publishing... As a profession we are forever in their debt for providing us with this beacon of science and clinical practice.

James L. Gutmann, Endo — Endodontic Practice Today

Every dental professional and specialist will benefit from this text, which presents a variety of interesting traditional and nontraditional material. The illustrations are breathtaking, balancing histology with contemporary esthetic management.

The text is clear and well written with references throughout.

Traumatic Injuries will serve as an excellent reference for practitioners and specialists who have a good working knowledge of dental traumatology, but it is a gold standard for building the student’s lifelong reference library.

Review Comments on the Previous Edition

The first impression one has of this book is its sheer size and the array of beautiful color illustrations inside . . . In summary, it is a remarkable text, eminently readable with superb illustrations . . . Every self-respecting dental library, personal or institutional, should have a copy.
