Complications in Cranio-Maxillofacial and Oral Surgery

August 2020

Editor: Robert Gassner

This superbly illustrated book equips readers with a detailed, up-to-date understanding of the surgical and nonsurgical complications that may arise during cranio-maxillofacial and oral surgery for a range of conditions, including malformations, infections, trauma, and tumors. It will aid both in the prevention of complications and in their effective management, across all age groups. Among the diverse surgical settings considered are cleft lip and palate, odontogenic and non-odontogenic infections, temporomandibular joint disorders, cranio-maxillofacial trauma, oral cancer, and skull base tumors. Potential complications during and after reconstructive procedures, including donor site morbidity, are considered. The book is designed to heighten awareness and to fill gaps in knowledge by providing novel insights. It will be of value for all clinicians, residents, and medical and dental students who are interested in oral, maxillofacial, craniofacial, plastic, reconstructive, and head and neck surgery.

Rolf Ewers mit Kapiteln von Robert Gassner

This book discusses basic principles, clinical planning, bone classification, bone regeneration techniques, standard clinical situations, special techniques and complications in modern oral implant surgery. Bioactivating Concepts are discussed from both aspects: basic research and clinical research. Chapters on basic research deal especially with bioactivation of bone morphogenesis and regeneration by bone morphogenetic proteins, biomaterials and bone repair, bone and soft tissue engineering, as well as cellular and subcellular physiology. Chapters on clinical research focus on intraoral operation techniques, including step-by-step augmentation procedures that are presented in a series of high-quality colour photographs.

The portrait of Gregor Baci from the collection of Archduke Ferdinand II of Austria provokes the question: is the legend that Baci survived a piercing injury with a lance only a myth, or does medical fact indicate that such severe impalement of the head and neck can be survived?

Implants: Science meets Technology

Oktober 2015

Radiology is the gold standard to show bone wound healing and osseointegration of implants despite bone growth and regeneration in a dynamic process. Even histology provides only a glimpse on the activity or inactivity of osteoblasts, osteoclasts and osteocytes in bone.
