This book discusses the various factors affecting outpatient surgery performed by oral and maxillofacial surgeons, from a clinical viewpoint. Examples of intraoral operations are presented step-by-step using high-quality color photographs. The text is based on scientific literature from the last ten years, and the appendix offers a rich collection of Internet links. The main focus is the traditional oral surgery of the intraoral soft tissues and the hard dental structures. A chapter is dedicated to endosseous implantology, as an alternative to tooth-preserving surgery. ‘Safety’ is also a central theme of the book, from the principles of providing preoperative information to patients, intraoperative complications and their possible consequences, through to dealing with at-risk patients.

The authors, many former clinicians at the Department for Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Kiel University, aimed to produce an up-to-date overview of developments within their field. By choosing the form of a textbook, they have at the same time created an excellent study guide.
