In this issue of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Clinics, guest editor Dr. Seenu Susarla brings his considerable expertise to the topic of Pediatric Craniomaxillofacial Pathology. Top experts in the field discuss non-trauma management of craniomaxillofacial conditions, including soft tissue lesions, cysts and tumors, odontogenic infections, vascular anomalies, and head and neck malignancies. The issue begins with an important article on "A Conceptual Framework for the Differential Diagnosis of Pediatric Craniomaxillofacial Lesions," which sets the stage for the subsequent articles. Contains 15 relevant, practice-oriented topics including pediatric temporomandibular joint pathology; pediatric orbital and skull base pathology; head and neck malignancies in children; conceptual principles in pediatric facial reconstruction; facial nerve pathology in children; and more. Provides in-depth clinical reviews on pediatric craniomaxillofacial pathology, offering actionable insights for clinical practice. Presents the latest information on this timely, focused topic under the leadership of experienced editors in the field. Authors synthesize and distill the latest research and practice guidelines to create clinically significant, topic-based reviews.

This is a full-colour illustrative textbook written by highly experienced consultants from two different continents — Asia and Europe — which sets out to compare the two possibly dissimilar scenarios of maxillofacial trauma in relation to the epidemiology and aetiology of the two regions. All cases presented in this atlas are from the authors' personal experience during their day-to-day management of patients.The surgical procedure is explained in a step-by-step manner which allows for better understanding, particularly by students who have not had the opportunity to observe the procedures in clinics and operating theatres. To ensure maximum comprehension of material, the text is written in a clear and concise manner and positioned alongside real-life photographs. Important decision-making points on some topics are highlighted within boxes./a

This issue of the Atlas of the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Clinics of North America serves as an aid to identification of 70 of the more important head and neck syndromes, and organized using the same nosology as in the landmark text of Robert Gorlin. As such, it should be useful to a varied audience, including not only the oral and maxillofacial surgeon but also the oral pathologist, the practitioner of oral medicine, and members of the craniofacial team--the orthodontist, pediatric dentist, speech and language specialist, geneticist, plastic surgeon, ENT specialist, pediatrician, nurse coordinator, and others. Areas covered include: Craniosynostosis Syndromes; Syndromes Affecting Bone; Metabolic and Autoimmune Syndromes; Syndromes Affecting Skin and Mucosa; Hamartoneoplastic Syndromes; Branchial Arch Syndromes; Clefting Syndromes; Syndromes Affecting the Central Nervous System; Chromosomal Syndromes; Syndromes with Unusual Facies; and Syndromes with Unusual Dental Findings or Gingival Components.
