Introduction to Contemporary Orthognathic Surgery

An introductory approach to the surgical treatment of skeletal discrepancies of the jaws, by Andrew Clark Jenzer, Jonathan Czerepak and Joseph Ivory. The book sets before the reader the concepts that underpin present-day orthognathic surgery: assessment of the patient with dentofacial deformity, coordination with orthodontic treatment and the logic governing the surgical repositioning of maxilla and mandible. It will chiefly interest the oral and maxillofacial surgery resident and the orthodontist involved in these cases, who needs to understand the surgeon's reasoning from the ground up. An English text, introductory rather than encyclopaedic in character.
