"…a valuable edition for any clinician considering specialist training within the oral and maxillofacial division."—British Dental JournalI think this is an excellent introduction to oral and maxillofacial surgery for anyone with a little experience in the fi eld. The basic patient care section is basic but does include considerable amounts of information in a relatively short section.— Ian Ormiston, Consultant Maxillofacial Surgery Cleft Surgeon, Leicester Royal Infi rmary, UK, The PMFA Journal, volume 3 issue 1Praise 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
