Textbook of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 6/E for BDS and MDS Students | Comprehensive OMFS Reference with 2500+ Clinical Photographs, 1000+ Diagrams and 150+ Tables | Free Online MCQs and Videos

Textbook of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 6th Edition is a comprehensive, university-syllabus-aligned reference covering the full scope of oral and maxillofacial surgery, from foundational principles of diagnosis, asepsis, and anesthesia through to advanced reconstructive and oncologic procedures. This edition adds three new chapters — Rational Pharmacotherapy in Dentistry, Medicolegal Dilemmas in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, and Recent Advances covering artificial intelligence, machine learning, and robotic surgery in OMFS — alongside comprehensively updated references across every existing chapter. Structured across 19 sections and 55 chapters, the book moves from armamentarium, suturing, sterilization, and local and general anesthesia through exodontia, TMJ disorders, orthognathic surgery, maxillofacial trauma, preprosthetic surgery, cysts and tumors, salivary gland disorders, orofacial clefts, maxillary sinus surgery, facial neuropathology, oral malignancies, dental implantology, and management of medical emergencies in dental practice. Each chapter opens with clear learning objectives and builds understanding through more than 2,500 clinical photographs, radiographs, CT/MRI and scintigraphy images, over 1,000 line diagrams and illustrated surgical-technique artwork, and 150+ comparative tables and algorithms that map out classification systems and step-by-step protocols. Genuine copies include complimentary online access to 8 instructional videos (135 minutes), chapter-end review questions, MCQs, and viva voce Q&As, plus scratch-code access to the Dr. Wise AI chatbot for further study support. Who This Book Is For: BDS students (final and clinical years): follows university syllabi across India and Asia for structured, exam-oriented learning of oral and maxillofacial surgery. MDS (Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery) postgraduates: in-depth chapters on TMJ ankylosis, orthognathic surgery, distraction osteogenesis, and oral malignancy management support advanced clinical training. Practicing dentists and oral surgeons: serves as a chairside and ward reference for surgical protocols, classification systems, and medicolegal considerations in day-to-day practice. Dental teachers and examiners: updated references and classification tables support lecture preparation and viva voce assessment. Why This Book Helps: Simplifies complex surgical decision-making: named classification systems (TMJ ankylosis grading, mandibular fracture classification, WHO-2022 tumor classification) are presented with clear criteria instead of scattered journal references. Structures step-by-step surgical technique: illustrated, sequential artwork for procedures such as condylectomy and gap arthroplasty breaks multi-stage surgeries into followable steps. Speeds exam and viva preparation: chapter-end MCQs, review questions, and viva voce Q&As (online, genuine-copy access) allow self-testing of high-yield topics without a separate question bank. Covers real-world practice risk: the dedicated Medicolegal Dilemmas chapter addresses negligence liability, consent, and documentation, grounding not found in most OMFS textbooks. Keeps pace with emerging technology: a Recent Advances chapter introduces artificial intelligence, machine learning, and robotic and navigation-assisted surgery in OMFS.
