Book Description

Minor oral surgery comprises those surgical operations that can comfortably be completed by a practiced non-specialist dentist in not more than 30 minutes under local anaesthesia. The first edition of this atlas established itself as a guide book for all those who wished to learn or improve their knowledge of this branch of the surgeon's art: from his many years of clinical teaching experience, the author outlined those principles essential to effective decision-making, preparation and procedure, and related those principles to common surgical practice. This second edition includes new cases and has been revised to reflect increased concern with cross-infection control and pre-operative advice.
