Inhaltsangabe:

This book is a comprehensive and evidence-based guide to the extraction of the mandibular third molar tooth. It includes sophisticated anatomical and radiological images, discusses contemporary scientific data based on the latest research, and guides the reader through the examination process and the surgical techniques of the extraction. The book is divided into five sections. In the first two sections, readers will learn about the basics of the mandibular third molar and the evidence of surgical complications including hemorrhage, pseudoaneurysm, nerve block and nerve injuries. Section 3 and 4 cover surgical techniques and preoperative evaluation such as risk assessment, preoperative conditions, anesthesia, and suturing methods. The last section focusses on clinical case presentations illustrating the management of various patients. This book is a must have for all general dentists, periodontists, specialists and residents of oral surgery, as well as for dental students.

Joe Iwanaga, DDS, PhD, is a Neurosurgery, Neurology, Structural & Cellular Biology Professor at Tulane University School of Medicine, New Orleans, LA, USA. Dr. Iwanaga graduated from Tokyo Medical and Dental University, School of Dentistry. He has expertise in both oral and maxillofacial surgery and clinical anatomy. In his entire career, Dr. Iwanaga has been dedicated to understanding “how anatomy can drive patient care.” He has delivered numerous presentations and is the author of more than 650 articles in peer-reviewed journals. Dr. Iwanaga has been a Councilor-at-Large of the American Association of Clinical Anatomists since 2018 and, in 2017–2018, was a Presidential Appointee of the Nominating Committee for the American Association of Clinical Anatomists. He has been a President of the Clinical Anatomy Research Association in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (CARE-OMS) since 2021. Dr Iwanaga is a Dental, Oral, and Maxillofacial Section editor for Clinical Anatomy. He also acted as an international advisory board of the 7th and 9th editions of Netter’s Atlas of Human Anatomy and authored the 42nd and 43rd editions of Gray’s Anatomy (Elsevier). Dr. Iwanaga is a lead editor for the Atlas of Oral and Maxillofacial Anatomy (Springer) and Anatomical Variations in Clinical Dentistry (Springer). After years of contribution to both dentistry and clinical anatomy, Dr. Iwanaga has established the concept of “Clinical Anatomy in Dentistry,” which needs to be understood by all dental healthcare providers to keep contributing to patient care via anatomical education and research.

Dr. R. Shane Tubbs is a clinical anatomist and practiced in pediatric neurosurgery at Children’s Hospital in Birmingham, Alabama, for 25 years. Dr. Tubbs’ research interests are centered around what his lab has termed “reverse translational anatomy research” where clinical/surgical problems are identified and addressed with anatomical studies. This investigative paradigm has resulted in over 2,000 peer-reviewed publications and has also resulted in his listing by the journal Nature in 2018 as one of the world’s ‘hyperprolific’ authors. He has a current h-index of 85 and is listed as a researcher in the top 2% of worldwide scientists.
Dr. Tubbs’ lab has made novel discoveries in human anatomy, and surgeons from around the world have used many anatomical feasibility studies from his lab. He is currently a tenured full professor in the Departments of Neurosurgery, Neurology, Surgery, and Structural and Cellular Biology at Tulane University School of Medicine in New Orleans.
He has been a visiting professor at major institutions in the U.S. and worldwide. Dr. Tubbs has authored/edited over 60 books, including Gray’s Anatomy Review, Gray’s Clinical Photographic Dissector of the Human Body, Netter’s Introduction to Clinical Procedures, Nerves and Nerve Injuries, A History of Human Anatomy, and Bergman’s Comprehensive Encyclopedia of Human Anatomic Variation. He is an editor for the 5th through 7th editions of Netter’s Atlas of Human Anatomy, the 41st and 42nd editions of Gray’s Anatomy, and is the co-editor-in-chief of Gray’s Anatomy 43rd edition. Since 2012, he has served as the editor-in-chief of the journal Clinical Anatomy, which is the official journal of the American and British Associations of Clinical Anatomists and is now the President of this former group. Since 2019, Dr. Tubbs has served as chair of the Federative International Programme on Anatomical Terminologies.
