This unique title offers highlights of milestone – or “Classic”-- papers in American oral and maxillofacial surgery, as well as an engaging biography of the authors who were pioneers of the specialty. Written by a range of current leaders in the field, this fascinating book evolved from an exploration by the volume editors of what they considered to be the landmark papers contributing to the evolution of oral and maxillofacial surgery in the United States. Beyond the landmark paper itself, the editors were interested in the paper’s author as well -- their legacy and contribution to the specialty. As a result, each chapter author not only provides an informative overview and assessment of the classic paper and its impact on today’s oral and maxillofacial surgeon, but also provides a captivating biography of the person behind the paper, offering a valuable synthesis that adds important context to each paper. Because The Great War (World War 1) was a landmark period in the evolution of maxillofacial surgery, the editors organized the text into three sections – pre Great War, Great War, and post Great War. A major contribution to the clinical literature, Classic Papers and Pioneers in Maxillofacial and Oral Surgery will serve many different purposes for readers: as a comprehensive reference in general, as a starting point for maxillofacial surgeons who wish to learn more about the foundations of what is performed currently, as a resource for students looking for inspiration, and for all readers interested in the history and development of surgery.
