Publisher's Synopsis
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery: An Illustrated Guide for Dental Students and Allied Dental Professionals is the definitive and only resource specifically for undergraduate dental students and allied dental professions. This book is brought to you by an author team of both trainees and consultants on behalf of the British Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (BAOMS). It revolves around key anatomical regions and uses a unique "fireside chat" approach that makes easy reading. It simplifies and demystifies basic aspects of oral and maxillofacial surgery, and head and neck surgery, by covering the basics of clinical examination of the face and mouth as well as managing pathology of the skull, facial skeleton and paranasal sinuses, jaws, mouth, salivary glands, neck and facial skin. It is highly relevant to all dental undergraduates but especially those who would like to simply ask the question, "What exactly is oral and maxillofacial surgery and what do they do?" Another question that may be asked by some is "is this a potential career for me?". In addition to prime educational content that is practically relevant to the undergraduate dental curriculum, the reader will gain a clearer insight into the career pathway in the UK, the unbelievable breadth of the specialty and the myriad opportunities that it can provide to the wider dental team.
