One of the most authoritative and comprehensive texts on maxillofacial surgery is the two-volume set by Peter Ward Booth, Stephen A. Schendel, and Jarg-Erich Hausamen. The book was first published in 2006 and has been updated with more than 2,000 detailed illustrations. It covers the whole of the specialty with clear explanations of both common and rare conditions, complete descriptions of surgical techniques, and discussions of management strategies. The book also features contributions from an international team of experts from various disciplines such as oncology, plastic surgery, dermatology, and radiology.
The book is divided into eight sections: Basic Principles, Dentoalveolar Surgery, Implantology, Infections, Trauma, Oncology, Craniofacial Deformity, and Aesthetic Surgery. Each section contains several chapters that cover topics such as anatomy, physiology, pathology, diagnosis, treatment planning, surgical procedures, complications, outcomes, and follow-up. The book also includes tables and boxes that compare and contrast information for quick recognition and comprehension. The book also provides extensive reference lists for further reading on the topics in each chapter.
The book is intended for oral and maxillofacial surgeons, residents, fellows, and students who want to learn more about the specialty. It is also a valuable resource for other health professionals who work with maxillofacial patients such as dentists, orthodontists, otolaryngologists, plastic surgeons, oncologists, radiologists, and nurses. The book is available in hardcover format from various online retailers such as [Amazon] and [Goodreads]. It can also be found in libraries and academic institutions through [WorldCat].
