This book assembles the decision-making acumen and experience of 30 oral and maxillofacial surgery specialists who have been recognized for expertise they have developed over years of patient treatment. Drawing on this body of knowledge mediated by experience, the contributors have synthesized their standard decision-making processes into annotated diagnosis and treatment algorithms. Combining "at-a-glance" understanding with detailed and authoritative discussion of the salient facts and features of more than 90 pathologic entities, these treatment algorithms are especially valuable for residents, recent graduates and others treating patients who present with unfamiliar signs and symptoms or with therapeutic problems in the oral and maxillofacial region.
