The Fourth edition of the book is a scholastic and comprehensive presentation of oral and maxillofacial surgery that delves into all aspects of the specialty in an insightful and penetrating manner. This textbook is written in a language that is easy to comprehend and the latest surgical techniques and developments are categorised into easily understandable segments. The contents were well structured, organised and designed to adequately meet the curriculum requirement in oral and maxillofacial surgery.
• Consists of over 2,000 high-resolution photographs, CTs, and CBCTs of surgical cases that illuminate surgical concepts with a clarity that makes them easy to understand. Many of these are being used for the first time and are unique in their presentation. There are also over 1100+ anatomical line diagrams that serve as a step-by-step surgical guide. Tables, flowcharts and boxes are used liberally throughout the textbook to highlight core surgical concepts. • Contains 57 chapters under 14 sections that span the entire field, with sections on anaesthesia, minor oral surgery, maxillofacial infections, maxillofacial pathologies, dentofacial deformities, neurogenic disorders, temporomandibular joint surgeries, and maxillofacial trauma. • Discusses basic concepts that serve as building blocks, such as definitions, history taking, and treatment planning. Radiodiagnosis, microbiological, histopathological, and biochemical analyses are also provided. • Highlights cutting-edge advances being made in the field in the last chapter, which serves to emphasise the constantly expanding frontiers of the field. The sole purpose of this is to serve as a source of inspiration to an entire new generation and give their careers a research-oriented direction.
