Contains 10 practice-oriented topics including fluoroestradiol imaging of ER+ breast cancer; advances in imaging to aid segmentectomy for lung cancer; 3D computed tomography reconstruction and printing to aid surgical planning; molecular imaging of head and neck cancer; contrast-enhanced intraoperative ultrasound of the liver; and more. Provides in-depth clinical reviews on oncology imaging, offering actionable insights for clinical practice. Presents the latest information on this timely, focused topic under the leadership of experienced editors in the field. Authors synthesize and distill the latest research and practice guidelines to create clinically significant, topic-based reviews.

This book examines the latest technologies and developments in oral and maxillofacial surgery. It presents information in an easy-to-read format and meticulously details each surgical technique. Thorough and accurate chapters comprehensively present procedures and treatments step-by-step procedures objectively. Each chapter follows a consistent format of which includes the scientific documentation of the procedure through clinical studies, objective benefits for the patient, detailed explanations of the procedure, levels of treatment complexity according to the SAC (simple -advanced complex) classification, and cost-effectiveness of the procedure for the patient and clinician. Extensive images, figures, and tables supplement select chapters to aid in visual learning. Extensive and unique, Innovative Perspectives in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery is a vital tool for all dental specialists ranging from undergraduate students to established oral maxillofacial surgeons.

Articles include: Fetal Diagnosis and Treatment of Craniofacial Anomalies, Cleft Lip and Palate: An Update on Long-term Outcome Data, Outcomes and the Challenge of Evidence-Based Surgery, New Directions in Microvascular Reconstruction in the CMF Region, Skeletal Anchorage for Orthodontics, Orbital Surgery: State of the Art, Technology for Planning and Performing Craniomaxillofacial Surgery, Craniofacial Regeneration: Current Techniques and Future Strategies, Bone Morphogenic Proteins in Craniomaxillofacial Surgery, Image Guidance Technology for Craniomaxillofacial Surgery, and Tissue Adhesives.

This book is part of a two-part volume book that highlights the latest advances in innovative bioceramics applied in the highly interdisciplinary area referred to as “translational medicine”. This volume predominantly written by surgeons in the fields of craniomaxillofacial, orthopedics, and spinal surgery, examines the translation of innovative bioceramics and bioceramics-based composite from the laboratory to a personalized surgical environment for the repair of damaged and diseased bone tissues. This book also covers the topic of osteoporosis, a skeletal disorder in which the World Health Organization (WHO) has recognized it as a public health emergency due to the high number of subjects who exhibited the disease and the morbidity and mortality related to fractures. The book caters to biomaterials researchers and medical clinicians who are interested in incorporating innovative bioceramics to the above-mentioned applications.

​This book will cover updated practices and cutting-edge innovations pertinent to advanced Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons, Otolaryngologists (Head and Neck Surgeons), and Facial Plastic Surgeons. Each chapter will review and update the reader on advancements in procedures and technologies in head and neck surgery. The authors are world-renowned experts in their respective fields who are keen to share their extensive experience and preferred approaches. Chapters will cover: Reviewing current techniques and highlighting future innovations and technologies pertaining to oral, head, and neck surgery. Illustrating ways to formulate specific treatment plans for the management of complex ailments and defects of the head and neck region. Developing specific treatment plans for the reconstruction of complex structures. Updating reader knowledge on both current and up-and-coming innovative procedures. Discussing the science underlying current and next-generation technologies. This book is intended for all oral and maxillofacial surgeons, head and neck surgeons, and plastic and reconstructive surgeons who wish to increase their knowledge on the latest modalities of maxillary and mandibular reconstruction.

Digital technologies are changing the way that surgeons operate. They are revolutionizing the ability of surgeons to visualize, plan, and create rapid prototyped models and patient- specific implants for the broad disciplines of ENT, plastic, oral and maxillofacial surgeons. This book provides information on the latest digital technologies available for craniomaxillofacial surgery, discussing how this technology allows for preplanned procedures with improved and superior outcomes. Rather than improvise during surgery, surgery and its procedures can be preconceptualized with superior outcomes and decreased patient morbidity.

Traditionally, each specialty involved in craniomaxillofacial trauma and orthognathic surgery had its own areas of interest and expertise. This introductory textbook is different in that it presents the combined and focused expertise and competence of the different specialties on the entire craniofacial skeleton. The principles described in this textbook represent the evolution of craniomaxillofacial buttress reconstruction over the last 60 years. In addition to standard procedures,techniques representing recent surgical advances and new developments are introduced as well. This textbook not only provides an overview on current concepts of craniomaxillofacial trauma care and orthognathic surgery, but also helps to understand the complexity of the craniofacial skeleton and its related soft tissues for an efficient and successful reconstruction of the face following trauma and congenital deformities.
