An Introduction to Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

The surgical specialty of oral and maxillofacial surgery is sometimes less recognised in the UK. This is due to its complex training requirements necessitating dual degrees in medicine and dentistry and formal general and specialist surgical training and qualification. This volume is a definitive yet concise source of reliable information for UK trainees following the ISCP curriculum. Following a similar structure, approach and delivery as the original, the content matches the updated Intercollegiate Surgical Curriculum Project (ISCP) curriculum for oral and maxillofacial surgery.

Praise for the first edition "The approach is pragmatic throughout and it focuses on the core competencies and practical skills required by trainees in the specialty. The operations are described succinctly but adequately, and they are illustrated extensively with colour photographs." -R.J.G. Stevens, Department of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, Frenchay Hospital, Bristol, UK in British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
