Lasers in Maxillofacial Surgery and Dentistry
The use of lasers in oral and maxillofacial surgery has increased dramatically in recent years, becoming an essential, "must-know" area for all practitioners in the field. This timely reference examines both new and established laser techniques, providing expert guidance on using lasers successfully in a wide variety of clinical situations. Superbly illustrated and organized, the book opens with a thorough discussion of laser technology and safety, and a complete review of established and newer techniques, such as the use of lasers to treat sleep apnea. Throughout, the authors compare laser-based techniques with conventional surgery and demonstrate their effectiveness in treating conditions of all types.The main focus of the book is technique-oriented chapters on the use of lasers in both soft tissue and hard tissue disease, including the resection of oral cancers and TMJ disorders. Case studies showing treatment and post-operative recovery of patients are a major highlight.
