Description:
Orthognathic surgery was in its infancy when Surgical Correction of Dentofacial Deformities was published in 1980 (Volumes 1 and 2) and 1985 (Volume 3). Since then, it has evolved into a complex specialty that demands expertise in several surgical disciplines and an understanding of many allied dental and medical specialties. Because orthognathic surgery has been and remains evolutionary, the modern surgeon’s training is a continuum. During the past 15 years, quantum leaps have occurred in scientific knowledge, in technology, and in some treatment planning aspects of this dynamic field.
Modern Practice in Orthognathic and Reconstructive Surgery focus on treatment planning and set forth objective criteria for the appreciation of facial esthetics and beauty. A variety of elements that relate to the structural beauty of the dental, facial, and craniofacial composition are described. Therapeutic means of altering the human morphopsychological features of dentocraniofacial deformities by restorative, gingival, orthognathic, and craniofacial procedures are described in detail.
