Oral Cavity Reconstruction serves as an all-encompassing compendium of surgical and cosmetic strategies for the reconstruction of bone, muscles, nerves, arteries, and anatomical structures of the oral cavity.

Features:

• Furnishes sections spanning pretreatment evaluation, pathology and pathophysiology, surgical techniques, and post-reconstructive issues
• Supplies an expert framework for reconstructive procedures to improve chewing, speech, taste, and swallow
• Summarizes current and future approaches to the evaluation, analysis, testing, and treatment of patients to improve and correct chewing, occlusion, dentition, mastication, dysarthria, dysphagia, and related conditions
• Highlights preoperative planning methods and diagnostic techniques necessary for successful oral reconstruction
• Describes the latest available techniques from simple to complex, for the reconstruction of the various subsites of the oral cavity
• Provides the reader with an in-depth understanding of key issues to guide surgical decision-making
• Details the most common malignancies of the oral cavity for optimal treatment and surgical planning
• Contains a thorough review of indications, techniques, and preparation methods for oral cavity defects for prosthetic devices
