Overview
From automobile accidents to sports injuries, this reference covers severe lacerations of the facial skin to extreme injuries of the underlying skeleton, nasal and oral lining, and dental structures-offering a multidisciplinary and hands-on approach to the management, reconstruction, and restoration of a wide variety of soft tissue wounds and fractures of the face in both children and adults.
Synopsis
US and Canadian researchers and practitioners in such specialties as dentistry, oral surgery, otolaryngology, and plastic surgery synthesize the current status of caring for and managing patients who require reconstruction of acute or established injuries to the facial hard and soft tissue. Among their topics are microsurgical options in facial trauma, effects and non-effects of personal surgical experimentation, fracture healing and bone graft repair, using biomaterials in craniofacial trauma, orbital injuries, managing acute injuries to the fronton sinus and managing untoward sequelae, maxillary fractures, mandibular fractures, and diagnosing and managing facial fractures in children.
