Principles and Practicalities of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery

Principles and Practicalities of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, 1st Edition, provides a structured manual on oral and maxillofacial surgical clinical scenarios for doctors and dentists across all stages of training. The textbook outlines patient preparation, essential history taking, physical examination points, and systematic methods to evaluate and manage surgical conditions.

The core content addresses acute emergency presentations alongside extensive facial trauma topics. Key emergency chapters review odontogenic infection, osteomyelitis, Ludwig's angina, necrotising fasciitis, and osteonecrosis of the jaw. Detailed trauma units focus on mandibular, midface, orbital, and frontal bone injuries, as well as soft tissue damage, facial ballistic trauma, and acute temporomandibular joint dislocation.

Each chapter concludes with multiple-choice questions accompanied by complete answers and explanations to reinforce core learning. The material directly supports medical students preparing for finals, candidates reviewing for MRCS examinations, and trainees entering higher surgical training in oral and maxillofacial surgery.
