Textbook of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery - E-Book


Book Description

The Fourth edition of the book is a scholastic and comprehensive presentation of oral and maxillofacial surgery that delves into all aspects of the specialty in an insightful and penetrating manner. This textbook is written in a language that is easy to comprehend and the latest surgical techniques and developments are categorised into easily understandable segments. The contents were well structured, organised and designed to adequately meet the curriculum requirement in oral and maxillofacial surgery. - Consists of over 2,000 high-resolution photographs, CTs, and CBCTs of surgical cases that illuminate surgical concepts with a clarity that makes them easy to understand. Many of these are being used for the first time and are unique in their presentation. There are also over 1100+ anatomical line diagrams that serve as a step-by-step surgical guide. Tables, flowcharts and boxes are used liberally throughout the textbook to highlight core surgical concepts. - Contains 57 chapters under 14 sections that span the entire field, with sections on anaesthesia, minor oral surgery, maxillofacial infections, maxillofacial pathologies, dentofacial deformities, neurogenic disorders, temporomandibular joint surgeries, and maxillofacial trauma. - Discusses basic concepts that serve as building blocks, such as definitions, history taking, and treatment planning. Radiodiagnosis, microbiological, histopathological, and biochemical analyses are also provided. - Highlights cutting-edge advances being made in the field in the last chapter, which serves to emphasise the constantly expanding frontiers of the field. The sole purpose of this is to serve as a source of inspiration to an entire new generation and give their careers a research-oriented direction.




Manual of Internal Fixation in Small Animals


Book Description

This second revised and enlarged edition addresses current techniques concerned with the implementation of the AO/ASIF System in small animal orthopaedic surgery. Surgeons who have used the system over the years have now considerable knowledge and experience which they have made available in this text. The same individuals have designed and modified special implants which are now available to the Small Animal Orthopaedic Surgeon. Sections have been added or modified concerned with severe trauma, implant removal and a system for recording fracture type and treatment. The book will serve to inform the experienced surgeon of the current situation, and at the same time it is still a basic text for the newcomer to veterinary small animal orthopaedics in general and the AO/ASIF system in particular.




AO/ASIF Instrumentation


Book Description

During their 20 years of activity members of the Associa tion for the Study of Internal Fixation (AO - ASIF) have made authoritative contributions to the development of internal and external fixation. The close collaboration of surgeons, basic researchers, metallurgists, engineers and the establishment of clinical documentation has made it possible to achieve a solid scientific basis for internal fixa tion. Clear definitions for the standardization of different types of osteosynthesis were possible: interfragmentary compression, splintage and buttressing as well as combina tions of these three techniques. At the same time a scienti fic and workmanlike instrumentation was developed. The idea was to keep diversification within limits but, however, to assemble a comprehensive collection of implants and in struments to answer all the problems presented by the com plexity of bone operations. Osteosynthesis is a difficult and demanding operative method. Its. claims on the surgeon and the theatre staff are high. Therefore plans have existed for a long time to supplement the "Manual of Internal Fixation" with a de tailed description of the AO Instrumentation, its use and maintenance. Our collaborator FRIDOLIN SEQUIN, graduate engineer, has accomplished this task with expert knowledge. He has organized over many years courses for theatre nurses and has been able from the resulting experience to provide helpful suggestions. When RIGMOR TEXHAMMAR R. N. joined AO-International four years ago, it was natural to include her as a co-author.
