U. J. Moore 
Principles of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery 

First published over 40 years ago, this is one of the
best-established introductory texts for students of dentistry and
oral and maxillofacial surgery. It covers each of the basic tenets
of the specialty, from patient management to anxiety and pain
control, to implant dentistry and maxillofacial trauma. The sixth
edition has been thoroughly revised to reflect the latest
developments in the field, and each chapter has been completely
updated and restructured. New chapters specifically on implant
dentistry have been included. This latest edition also features for
the first time colour images of clinical procedures, clear colour
diagrams and e-learning references.

This book is of undoubted value for students and recently
qualified practitioners of dentistry, for whom it acts as a
complete and ready reference through which to gain a firm foothold
in oral and maxillofacial surgery.
