The new form of the Fonseca set is better with it all put in 3 volumes, and it looks great. I find it to be a good general reference and study tool but it lacks some depth that you would get from books dedicated to each of the topics. I wouldn't expect this to be the only book an oral surgeon needs, although by a look at the topics it may appear so, but it is a good addition to your library. My thanks go to the authors for continuing to put out such great texts.

This 3-volume oral and maxillofacial surgery covers the field of oral, implant, trauma, orthognathic, esthetic and cleft and craniofacial surgery. A separate section (Vol.II, section II), deals with surgical pathology and second one with TMJ disorders. A separate colour atlas at the end of every volume is included. This, more than 3000 pages, book is a comprehensive reference to a wide field of oral and maxillofacial surgery. A CD-ROM is missing, otherwise a very important tool for the trainee and the specialist as well.

I really like this book..
It has every thing on it, and also realy easy to reed.
I strongly recomend!

This three volume set is the most comprehensive work to date and, I believe, outdoes every similar text in recent memory for this subject matter. I have an internal bias, but aside from that, the work represents the most comprehensive and current collection of material on Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery one can own at the moment. The organization of the text is well thought out and well executed. The specialty area has expanded, and this text has kept pace very nicely. I would suggest it for students, residents, fellows, OMS faculty, OMS private practitioners, and other head and neck specialists.

I love all surgical text books, why lie?

The biggest missing link in Fonseca is the electronic book.

I never leave home without Peterson OMFS because it's electronic and easy to reference and search.

Come on Fonseca... send me an e-book. For $600 it should also rub my shoulders!
