This review is from: Peterson's Principals of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery 2 Vol. set (Hardcover)

The two-text series, as a whole, is a good overview of most of the scope of OMS practice. There are a few typos, which at this level, seems unexcusable considering how many editors there are. (Who would have known that the Greater Palatine Artery was renamed the Greater Pala[n]tine Artery?!?!? Twice?!) Typos aside, is gives a decent overview of the history of orthognathic surgery, however, it leaves out some key historical points that are mentioned in the Fonseca series. The pix are pretty good, however, something this expensive should have color pictures/plates. There are some areas in the text which fail to mention fundamental anatomy. For instance, in the LeFort Osteotomy chapter, it fails to mention the Tonsillar Artery as a key component to the perfusion of the down-fractured maxilla. C'Mon guys, this is basic "pimp-question" material which you will fail miserably at if you only used this text as your sole source of info. It doesn't go into much depth on several important pertinent areas, such as the differentiation of S.O.F. Syndrome and Orbital Apex Syndrome and which anatomic structures are affected in each syndrome. Aside frow a few minor detractors, the 2-part series is a good entry-level text for OMS residents who can muddle through the discrepancies and use other texts to cross-reference for clarity. The third edition of this text will hopefully fix the boo-boos. :)

This review is from: Peterson's Principals of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery 2 Vol. set (Hardcover)

I placed an order for this book, and since I read the reviews from other buyers I called and verified to make sure I am going to get both volumes, but They only sent me the first volume and when I called they said return the book and order again or we can give you a 50% discount and you can purchase the second volume elsewhere.
The book is a must have book for any OMFS resident, May be a little out dated on fast changing subjects like implants and related topics but it can make a solid knowledge base for residents in all levels , highly recommended.

This is a very good book however, be aware that this is only the 2nd volume (of a two volume series). The title of the posting is deceiving as I thought it was a "2 volume set" as noted, not the 2nd volume.
