- First book of its kind to be the go-to resource for those attempting the oral boards and for residents to polish up on their training

The oral board exam for the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (ABOMS) can be intimidating to many surgeons due to the broad range of information one must know for the exam.
however, while the examination guidelines provide a general outline of topics that may be covered, there is no true direction on how to prepare for it. Traditionally candidates do so by using what are considered “underground” databanks, previous test questions, and power point presentations that run the gamut of commonly covered material. Until now, there have been no current oral board review books available for the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery boards.
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Case Review -- A Study Guide for the Oral Boards fills that gap as the go-to resource for those attempting to successfully challenge the oral boards and for residents to polish up on their training.
Edited and authored by top physicians in the field, this book is concise and easy to read, yet thorough with high yield information. An outline of the pertinent material is reviewed, and a patient work up is presented. Important questions to ask, signs to look for, and labs/images to order are included.
It also includes tables and keywords that are typically mentioned on the exam and also offers explanations to some key points. Next are cases, which are presented in a question and answer format. As the case progresses, more complicated scenarios requiring management are presented. Lastly, complications are covered, which is the final section of each board scenario. Included are basic topics the surgeon needs to know, followed by topics that are nice to know, and numerous highly debated/complex questions that are discussed among candidates preparing for the exam.
