Anatomy and Biomechanics Applied to Skeletal Anchorages in Orthodontics

The orthodontist Elsa Arango, in collaboration with experts in the orthodontic area, presents this practical and complete manual, now in English, for all orthodontists who wish to have a clearer understanding of the fundamentals of facial anatomy for the placement of skeletal anchors.

 

With almost 900 images as support, Dr. Arango reviews the topographic anatomy of the skull, explains the characteristics of skeletal anchors, offers an exhaustive classification of these, in addition to proposing insertion protocols for these anchors according to the areas evaluated by the clinical professional. Likewise, it reviews the biomechanical properties of skeletal anchors applied to clinical cases. Through seven chapters and twelve videos, Dr. Arango establishes criteria for the interpretation of various anatomical situations that are more feasible to facilitate this procedure, which guarantees optimal results for the patient. In addition, in this manual the reader will find twelve keys given by Dr. Arango to achieve a successful implantation of skeletal anchors, presented as a protocol so that the specialist can orient himself and achieve effective anchorage.

 

With this comprehensive procedural guide to implanting skeletal anchors, orthodontists and oral surgeons will be able to successfully address this practice.
