Manual of Wire Bending Techniques

摘要

In this spiral-bound manual, Dr. 1 Eiichiro Nakajima successfully uses a photographic, step-by-step approach to document the art of wire bending. He illustrates a wide variety of archwire mechanics, including six different loops; the straight section, retraction section, and stabilizing section prior to utility-arch fabrication; and ideal mandibular arches and arch coordination. His frame-by-frame format succinctly documents what a student might experience in a wire-bending typodont course. The illustrations are mostly black-and-white, interspersed with color photographs highlighting the Biospecial plier and the mandibular visual treatment objective. In the accompanying text for each figure, Dr. Nakajima explains how to hold both the plier and the archwire, providing clear directions on the precise angle at which to bend the archwire.
