Orthognathic Surgery: A Synopsis of Basic Principles and Surgical Techniques Book

Orthognathic surgery has greatly expanded the scope of oral and maxillofacial surgery over the last few decades. It has become one of the more important fundamental skills that is taught in oral and maxillofacial surgical training programmes worldwide. Since it is also a surgical field that few surgeons outside the dental profession understand or practise, it is vital that all present and future oral and maxillofacial surgeons establish a firm grasp of the fundamental concepts behind the principles and practice of this somewhat difficult and complicated area of surgery. This book should serve a useful role not only as a basic reference source but also as a fundamental means of integrating both theory and clinical practice in one small handbook that can be easily read. It is not meant to replace any of the larger texts in the field of orthognathic surgery, but rather to complement them. The book is suitable for senior dental undergraduates, trainees for the Fellowship examination, and oral and maxillofacial surgeons.Read More
