An Introduction to Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery 2nd Edition

The second edition now includes international perspectives. In the UK, oral and maxillofacial surgery is a unique discipline―the ninth of ten currently recognized surgical specialties―and trainees usually start from a dental qualification before gaining a medical one. In contrast, in Germany practitioners often start from a medical base and then obtain a dental degree while in North America they start from a dental base and may or may not become dually qualified.
