Management of Facial Asymmetry: Current Principles and Practice

This book provides clear practical guidance on the contemporary management of patients with asymmetry of facial structures. Patient evaluation and diagnosis are fully described, key radiological and orthodontic considerations are identified, and the role of virtual surgical planning is explained.

Individual chapters focus on management principles in patients with craniosynostosis, hemifacial microsomia, condylar hyperactivity, and temporomandibular ankylosis/degenerative disease. The remainder of the book covers distraction osteogenesis, the use of facial implants, diverse soft tissue procedures, and jaw and other osteotomies.

The text is augmented by informative clinical cases, easy-to-follow tables, photographs, and illustrations. It is ideal for clinicians involved in the care of patients with facial asymmetry and an indispensable tool for those who evaluate and treat the condition in day-to-day practice.
