I bought this book about 6 months ago, and have thoroughly enjoyed reading it. This book is the most current and comprehensive textbook on dentofacial deformity and orthognathic surgery. It goes beyond the basics of orthognathics, which other general oral surgery textbooks provide. In the past before getting this book, I had to skip around between specific chapters of several different textbooks and articles to get the information I needed. Now it's all in one place.This comprehensive textbook covers multiple topics, from basic principles and two jaw surgery, to chin/ear/nose/and neck augmentation. The textbook also presents the classic patterns of dentofacial deformity, cleft-orthognathics, and grafting technique; all in a well organized and easy to understand manner.This textbook has special emphasis on the surgical aspect of dentofacial deformity; as it should, since it's a surgical textbook. In other textbooks, you would be lucky to see only a handful examples of pre/post surgery. In this book, nearly every chapter has multiple detailed photos of patient's pre and post op, with explanations of why and what was done. The author also has step-by-step instructions of surgery, with plenty of illustrations. There are also 45 surgical videos! You can watch this world renowned, duel board certified Plastic and OMFS surgeon actually performing the surgeries he talks about in the book.This book was a great and invaluable addition to my own personal library.
