The rehabilitation of patients with disabilities of the head and neck secondary to acquired and congenital defects continues to be a challenge. Given the recent advances in reconstructive surgery and maxillofacial prosthetics, the pace of change in the rehabilitation of oral and facial defects has been far too slow.

This updated edition with an emphasis on a truly multidisciplinary approach provides the reader with insights into the latest developments in reconstructive surgery, maxillofacial prosthetics, and dental care. New chapters present information on digital technology and tissue engineering, and all chapters have undergone significant revision, reflecting the advances in the use of implants and free vascularized flaps.

The reader will take away practical knowledge of state-of-the-art treatment approaches.
