Note (General)Preceded by Fundamentals of orthognathic surgery / editors, Malcolm Harris, Nigel Hunt. 2nd ed. c2008.
Note (Content)This latest edition is an expanded and up-to-date version of the classic operative manual for surgical and orthodontic consultants, trainees and theatre and ward staff. It includes the completely new sections of 'Non-Surgical Facial Aesthetics' and the 'Application of 3-Dimensional Scanning for Virtual Surgical Planning (VSP), more commonly known as Computer-Aided Surgical Simulation (CASS)'. Although CASS may supercede the multistage orthognathic planning process this traditional means of record transfer has been retained as an essential clinical skill. The important major deformity sections are still the 'Secondary Management of Clefts', the 'Role of Distraction Osteogenesis', 'Temporomandibular Joint Ankylosis', 'Rhinoplasty', and the 'Essential Support of Nutrition for the Maxillofacial Surgery Patient'.
Note (Bibliography)Includes bibliographical references and index.
