INDEX

Challenging Concepts in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery details over 25 challenging and complex scenarios matched to the OMFS syllabus including frontal sinus fractures, reconstructive challenges following blast injuries to the facial soft tissue and skeleton, and reratocystic odontogenic
tumours.
This case-based learning book is designed to be used by trainees and speciality registrars. Each case is supported by the commentary of a renowned expert in the field, allowing readers to improve their own management of these patients.

As the reader works through each case there are 'Clinical Tips', 'Learning Points' and 'Evidence Base' boxes to enhance the learning process along with the 'Expert Commentary', providing an inside track on how the experts approach challenging cases.

The range of topics discussed including three complex battlefield cases will be essential reading for trainees in oral and maxillofacial surgery and related specialties, such as otolaryngology, oral surgery, orthodontics, and dentistry.
