- Offers state of the art guidance on the surgical treatment of TMDs
- Covers all aspects of total temporomandibular joint replacement and various other surgical procedures
- Examines the future of the field, including the use of bioengineered constructs
This book, in three volumes, is a comprehensive, state of the art guide to the contemporary diagnosis and treatment of temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) that will help to compensate for the frequent lack of experience and inadequate training among health professionals who encounter patients with jaw joint problems. This third volume is devoted to the surgical treatment of TMDs.
The opening section discusses the evolution of modern surgical management of TMDs, TMD diagnosis for surgical candidates, and anatomic pathways. Surgical procedures are then described and illustrated, with detailed coverage of total temporomandibular joint replacement and also other procedures such as surgical arthroscopy, intraoral vertical ramus osteotomy, discectomy, and arthroplasty. The volume closes by examining the future of the field, including the use of bioengineered constructs.
The complementary first and second volumes are devoted to anatomy, pathophysiology, evaluation, and diagnosis and to the nonsurgical treatment of TMDs, respectively. Each volume will be of high value for the multidisciplinary team necessary for successful management of TMDs, including dentists, surgeons, primary care doctors, pain doctors, and allied health professionals.
