4.0 out of 5 stars Tissue engineering for maxillofacial surgeons, June 23, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Tissue Engineering: Applications in Maxillofacial Surgery and Periodontics (Hardcover)

In this book, the authors provide us with a nice update and future prospects of the tissue engineering techniques in the field of maxillofacial surgery. The basic science principles in which these therapies are based on have been cared and thoroughly described. In addition, the application to oral surgery techniques and the future prospects for other applications are focused along the different chapters of this book. I think this book is a very adequate approach to tissue engineering for those surgeons who want to introduce themselves in these new techniques.
