With cases reflecting the classic presentation format of each
disease process, this book prepares students for patient encounters
during their oral and maxillofacial surgery rotations. It also
helps residents learn and review "high yield" material that is
commonly found in oral and maxillofacial training and on board
examinations. It highlights clinical information that is commonly
asked during rounds, in the operating room, and during
examinations. For each case, it includes an overview of the most
common clinical presentation, physical exam findings, diagnostic
tools, complications, treatment, and a discussion of any
controversial issues that may surround the case. The authors
describe Clinical Review of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery as "A
little reach for the dental student, right on target for the OMS
resident, and a strong refresher for OMS board certification." "I
found this book expressly informative...I would most definitely
recommend this book" Reviewed by British Dental Journal, Dec 2014
Case-based approach incorporates teaching around real patient
scenarios to actively engage and raise your interest and retention
of the information. 103 cases, many of which are new, represent the
full scope of modern oral and maxillofacial surgery practice to
encompass the most common and significant implications for modern
clinical practice, including content emphasized on OMS boards and
training exams. Detailed illustrations including one or more
radiographs, full-color clinical photographs, or drawings for the
majority of cases provide a visual guide to conditions, techniques,
diagnoses, and key concepts that will further enhance your
understanding and retention of all content. Content that's perfect
for all levels of study or practice covers both concepts and
techniques that residents and pre-doctoral students can apply in
the clinical setting, and the preparation tools necessary for oral
and maxillofacial surgery boards and training/certification
examinations. NEW! Full-color illustrations and photos give you a
better pictures of common surgical techniques and pathology. NEW!
Chapter 6: Dental Implant Surgery discusses the contemporary issues
related to dental implants - specifically the routine placement of
maxillary and mandibular implants, sinus augmentation, zygoma
implants, treatment of edentulism, guided implant surgery,
extraction socket preservation, and implantology for the esthetic
zone. NEW! Section on cone beam computed tomography (CBCT)
highlights the role of imaging from diagnosis to image guidance for
many surgical procedures. NEW! Section on the advantages of
computer assisted surgery highlights virtual surgical planning for
a patient who presents for combined surgical and orthodontic
correction of his facial asymmetry and apertognathia. NEW! Section
on trigeminal neuralgia (TN) walks you through the diagnosis and
possible treatments for a patient suffering from trigeminal
neuralgia, the signs and symptoms that uniquely define the
disorder, and the clinician's ability to recognize the specific
diagnostic pattern. NEW! Section on neck dissection, an important
aspect of head and neck cancer treatment, provides a case that
involves a patient in which right selective neck dissection (I-III)
was conducted on the right neck and a selective left neck
dissection (I-V) was completed on the left side. NEW! Section on
dentoalveolar trauma presents a new case that takes you through
diagnosing and treating a patient who presents with anterior
maxillary alveolar segment fractures involving teeth #7-9, with
lateral luxation and Ellis class III fracture tooth of #9, and an
intraoral laceration of the upper lip. NEW! Section on nasal
septoplasty addresses a patient with a severely deviated nasal
septum to the left, involving the quadrangular cartilage and the
bony septum and how septoplasty can make a dramatic change in the
patient's quality of life, by facilitating nasal airflow, allowing
for better spontaneous drainage of the paranasal sinuses, possibly
reducing mouth breathing, and reducing or eliminating the symptoms
of snoring, and perhaps lessening the severity of the obstructive
sleep apnea syndrome.
