Elsevier eBook on VitalSource

ISBN: 9780443113802

Key Features
- UNIQUE! Comprehensive coverage of head, neck, and orofacial infections addresses the diagnosis and management of pathology due to infections of the head and neck and orofacial complex.
- Expert contributors are drawn from the disciplines of oral and maxillofacial surgery, head and neck surgery, plastic surgery, and otolaryngology, and they provide state-of-the-art guidance based on extensive experience with current techniques as well as technological advances in managing head, neck, and orofacial infections.
- A logical organization addresses these topics: 1) issues that are common to all infections of the head and neck region, 2) infections of specific parts of the region, and 3) infections related to certain procedures, types of patients, unusual organisms, and medical-legal implications.
- Over 500 photographs, radiographs, and illustrations demonstrate pathologies, procedures, and outcomes.
Key chapters include:
- Principles of Antibiotic Therapy for Head, Neck, and Orofacial Infections chapter provides a new approach to the wise use of antibiotics by head and neck surgeons in an era of increasing antibiotic resistance, the declining systemic reserve of our aging population, more complicated antibiotic drug interactions with patients’ medications, and increasing costs of care.
- Odontogenic Infections of the Fascial Spaces chapter focuses on the etiology, clinical manifestations, anatomic considerations, and treatment of odontogenic infections.
- Nasal and Para-Nasal Sinus Infections chapter discusses the pathophysiology and management of nasal and paranasal sinus infections.
- Microbiologic Considerations with Dental Implants chapter reviews the issues associated with the prevention of infection with surgical implant placement, including the factors that are known to cause infection, the putative bacteria involved and means to control infection once it occurs.
