Oxford Handbook of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (Oxford Medical Handbooks)

Abstract This new edition of Oxford Handbook of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery has been fully updated to cover the current guidelines and research in the field of OMFS. Splitting vital knowledge into sections based on clinical areas, this handbook uses bulleted lists and summary boxes to make the information easily searchable. Chapters on ‘in the clinic’, ‘in the theatre’, and ‘on the ward’ cover all common complaints and presentations that the reader can expect to encounter in their daily activities, and a dedicated section to emergencies provides clear advice. Common drugs and dental materials are covered as a quick reference guide. With OMFS now part of the Core Training programme for surgical trainees, the handbook ensures a solid grasp of the basics and fundamentals to help support decision making for junior doctors, dental foundation trainees, specialist nurses, and medical and dental students.
