In this issue of Atlas of the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Clinics, guest editor Dr. Florencio Monje Gil brings his considerable expertise to the topic of Temporomandibular Joint Surgery. TMJ disorders affect 12% or more of the population in the U.S. alone, primarily women in their childbearing years. In this issue, top experts in the field provide comprehensive, current tutorials of every major TMJ surgery, including articles on pre- and postoperative treatment.
Contains 14 practice-oriented topics including rules for surgical decision making in temporomandibular joint treatment; temporomandibular joint arthrocentesis; operative arthroscopy and electrocoagulation of the temporomandibular joint; open temporomandibular joint surgery: discectomy with or without interpositional reconstruction; temporomandibular joint surgery: open discopexy; and more.
Provides in-depth clinical reviews on temporomandibular joint surgery, 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.
