En savoir plus sur le livre

This book discusses the various clinical factors affecting outpatient surgery performed by oral and maxillofacial surgeons. The text is based on the scientific literature from the last 10 years, with a focus on traditional oral surgery of the intraoral soft tissues and the hard dental structures. Examples of intraoral procedures are presented step-by-step using high-quality color photographs. The book also features a chapter dedicated to the rationale behind endosseous implant placement as an alternative to tooth-preserving surgery. A central theme throughout the book is safety, from the principles of providing preoperative information to patients and treating at-risk patients to addressing the possible consequences of intraoperative complications. The appendix provides an extensive list of Internet resources to help the reader stay up-to-date on the latest information on this topic. Contributions by A. Dunsche, R. Ewers, A. Filippi, B.
