Dr. Posnick has lectured around the world and authored more than 400 medical journal publications and book chapters. His earlier two volume textbook, published by W.B. Saunders, Craniofacial and Maxillofacial Surgery in Children and Young Adults, is considered an authoritative benchmark reference. His current comprehensive two volume textbook Orthognathic Surgery: Principles and Practice, published by Elsevier, captures current thinking for the evaluation and treatment of all aspects of dentofacial deformities. Through Posnick MD Consulting, Dr. Posnick maintains a leadership role in the healthcare industry including facilitating mergers and acquisitions and as an advocate in legal matters.

"The book gives an utterly comprehensive account of the different dentofacial deformities amenable to orthognathic surgery. It discusses the methodology involved in planning these complex treatments, taking the reader through step by step approaches to each surgical procedure and in addition, looks at the long-term outlook and potential complications that can arise for patients in each case." Reviewed by British Dental Journal, Jan 2015"This excellent publication will be useful for all orthodontic professionals who want to keep up to date on the subject of Orthognathic Surgery and it should be a standard item of their library."
