Essentials of Orthognathic Surgery

Third edition of Johan Reyneke's text on orthognathic surgery, with new cases and two additions that answer recent research: airway management and the temporomandibular joint. Dentofacial deformities, previously covered in a single chapter, are now split between typical and complex, which lightens consultation and makes room for the added casuistry. The backbone of the work remains: patient examination, diagnosis, treatment plan and surgical technique, described step by step and abundantly illustrated. Technically it ranges from the bilateral sagittal split osteotomy to bimaxillary correction planned in three dimensions, in growing patients as well as adults.
