Synopsis
This handbook on oral and maxillofacial surgery provides information on the full spectrum of patient care from pre-admission to discharge planning with patient information sheets. It is jointly written by nurses and consultants in the area of maxillofacial surgery so combining elements of nursing care with the academic information required and giving an attractive alternative to the heavier medical tomes which nurses have come to rely upon.

Book Description
A succinct, practical handbook presenting the subject of Minor Oral Surgery in a way that is relevant to everyday clinical practice. Emphasis is placed upon total patient care and the intention has been to provide an easily accessible, synoptic text that will be a ready source of reference in clinical practice as well as forming an integral part of the undergraduate's armamentarium of books.

Although the practice of dentistry has changed remarkably in recent decades, minor oral surgery continues to form an integral part of general dental practice. Instruction in this discipline has for decades been based on a few classic textbooks which until now have adequately fulfilled their purpose. The aim of this 'synopsis' is not to replace these major texts but to provide the dental practitioner and undergraduate with an up-to-date and practical reference on minor surgical procedures appropriate to general dental practice. It has been written in clear, succinct style in a logical format. The accent has been placed on total patient care and the intention has been to provide an easily accessible, synoptic text that will be a ready source of reference in clinical practice, as well as forming an integral part of the undergraduate's armamentarium of books.

The author is an experienced Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon who has experience of both United Kingdom and United States dental education and practice, and who is now lecturing at the University of Melbourne. 'A Synopsis of Minor Oral Surgery' should serve a dual purpose as both a textbook for today's undergraduate dental curriculum as well as a practical guide for contemporary general dental and hospital practice. It should be an essential purchase for all dental undergraduates, dental practitioners and junior hospital doctors.

Reviews
'... this is a well-thought-out book that will undoubtedly become an essential for the undergraduate and may also find its way into many general dental practices.' - C. N. A. Bell

Book Description
Minor oral surgery comprises those surgical operations that can comfortably be completed by a practiced non-specialist dentist in not more than 30 minutes under local anaesthesia. The first edition of this atlas established itself as a guide book for all those who wished to learn or improve their knowledge of this branch of the surgeon's art: from his many years of clinical teaching experience, the author outlined those principles essential to effective decision-making, preparation and procedure, and related those principles to common surgical practice. This second edition includes new cases and has been revised to reflect increased concern with cross-infection control and pre-operative advice.

Contents

Diagnosis and Treatment Planning	Preoperative Preparation
The Operation	Postoperative Care

Book Description
The primary purpose of Contemporary Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery is to present a comprehensive description of the basic oral surgery procedures that the practitioner performs in his surgery. A secondary goal is to present information regarding advanced and complex surgical management of patients to the oral and maxillofacial surgeon. The book is designed principally for use as a text for the dental student, but the material is sufficiently comprehensive to serve as a reference book for the general practitioner in private practice. The specialist in oral and maxillofacial surgery will also find this text of value, especially those sections which relate to the management of medically compromised patients and concepts of the team approach to dentofacial injuries, deformities and pathology.

This text presents the fundamental principles of surgical and medical management of oral surgery problems. The basic techniques of evaluation, diagnosis and medical management are presented in sufficient detail to allow immediate clinical application. Surgical techniques are heavily illustrated so that the reader will gain a clear idea of what is discussed in the text. The goal is to provide the reader with sufficient information to help him understand the biological as well as the technical aspects of surgical procedures in order that he will respond to surgical situations in his practice that are not 'textbook cases.'

Synopsis
The intention of this text is to present a comprehensive description of the basic oral surgery procedures that the practitioner performs in his office. A secondary goal is to present information regarding advanced and complex surgical management of patients to the oral and maxillofacial surgeon. This sixth edition includes a new chapter on endodontic surgery, expansion of implantology, and updated information on OSHA guidelines. It also has 150 additional illustrations, including 64 colour photographs.

Synopsis
This work seeks to simplify the subject of endodontic surgery and to spell out the full possibilities it can offer the patient. The book also deals with failures in endodontic surgery, the reasons why it occurs and ways and means of minimizing risks.

Book Description
A textbook of oral and maxillofacial surgery for dental students. Oral surgery is studied by all dental students during their clinical years. At the simplest level it involves extraction of teeth, and various other procedures can be performed in a general dental practice setting. More complex procedures, or cases involving serious infection or malignancy, are dealt with in hospital, so the dental student needs to learn which cases require referral as well as being competent at the simpler procedures. All currently available British books suitable for students are outdated both in content and appearance. This book will answer the need for an up to date text illustrated in colour, laid out in a user friendly and readable manner.

Features.

• An up to date text in oral and maxillofacial surgery, heavily illustrated with line diagrams, colour and black and white photos.
• Subject is covered to a depth appropriate for the general dental practitioner.
• Text is enlivened by the use of learning objectives, bulleted lists and summaries.
• Clear identification of conditions and procedures suitable for general dental practitioner, and of those requiring referral.
• Procedures are illustrated if they are suitable for a GDP or recently qualified dentist to do.
• Extensive self testing material with answers.

Synopsis
A reference source for trainee and established oral and maxillofacial surgeons, as well as those practising in otolaryngology, plastic and reconstructive surgery and head and neck surgery. It covers the pathology of surgically-treated conditions of the mouth and jaws in a systematic fashion and supports this by details of epidemiology, aetiology, classification and clinical and radiological features. It also includes discussion of non-surgical aspects of management, follow-up considerations and prognosis.

Synopsis
This text reviews the dramatic disorders that present in the head and face. It discusses the real difficulty in understanding pain when the number of patients with ideopathic disorders, far outnumber those who present with conditions that are well understood. Chronic orofacial symptoms, including pain, ulceration, disturbances in jaw movement and problems with sensation or salivation, are often revealed to be the result of emotional problems. This book reviews the ways patients with emotional problems present to dental practitioners and maxillofacial surgeons. It provides practical advice to help these clinicians recognise the orofacial manifestations of psychiatric disorders and explains the different approaches to treatment. The book covers clinical situations ranging from how to deal with anxious patients, the patient with stress-related head, face and mouth pain, to the patient who wishes to change their appearance by either an orthodontic, or orthognathic approach. The book is intended for dental practitioners, academic dentists, maxillofacial surgeons, psychiatrists, psychologists and those with an interest in the management of chronic pain.

Book Description
"Tooth Extraction" is a user-friendly instruction book based on Geoffrey Howe's original text written in the 1970's. It retains the unchanged principles underpinning the extraction of teeth and established techniques of surgical management, whilst incorporating the changes which have taken place in key areas of practice. New sections have been added on subjects such as the use of general anaesthetic and the medico-legal climate.

A virtual 'Apprentice's Manual', this practical guide takes the student through basic procedures in simple steps, thus underpinning more theoretical teaching provided elsewhere. The author begins with the principles of tooth extraction then goes on to advise on the use of radiographs and the administration of anaesthesia. Surgical removal of teeth is also covered, and a complete section deals with possible complications and their management.

This new book not only provides students with the fundamental knowledge needed to perform their first tooth extraction but also prepares them for more complicated techniques they may need to use later on. It should be an essential purchase for every dental undergraduate.

Synopsis
