The seventh edition of this internationally adopted and highly praised textbook, Contemporary Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, is designed to provide both dental trainees and practicing dentists the fundamental principles of clinical evaluation, treatment planning, and surgical care for patients with diseases and deformities of the oral and maxillofacial region. This book provides great detail on the foundational techniques of evaluation, diagnosis, and care for clinical problems commonly managed by the general dental practitioner. The extensive number of illustrations make the surgical techniques readily understandable and also enhance readers’ appreciation of the biologic basis and technical fundamentals, allowing them to manage routine surgical situations as well as those that go beyond “textbook cases.” There are two major purposes of the seventh edition of Contemporary Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery: (1) to present a comprehensive description of the basic oral surgery procedures that are performed by general practitioners, and (2) to provide information on advanced, more complex surgical evaluation and management of patients with problems that are typically managed by oral and maxillofacial surgeons but are commonly first seen and evaluated by other dental practitioners. Whether you are a dental student, resident, or already in practice, the seventh edition of Contemporary Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery is an excellent resource to add to your professional library and regularly return to while providing patient care.
