Overview

This comprehensive atlas, featuring a wealth of top quality photographs of fresh cadaveric dissections, is a superb guide to anatomic structures in the oral and maxillofacial region that will be an ideal aid in clinical practice. It has the important benefit of enabling readers to observe the anatomy from the same view as seen during invasive clinical procedures. This is critical for a better understanding of these procedures, and surgical annotations are included as necessary. Atlas of Oral and Maxillofacial Anatomy is the first book of its kind to be devoted to the clinical anatomy of the region for dentists and oral and maxillofacial surgeons. It will satisfy the demand for such a comprehensive atlas in this field of surgery and will be welcome and timely for clinicians and trainees. Beyond specialists and residents in oral and maxillofacial surgery and general dentists, the book will be of value for craniofacial surgeons, anatomists, plastic surgeons, ENT surgeons, head andneck surgeons, neurosurgeons, dental students, medical students, dental hygienists, and nurses working with dentists and oral and maxillofacial surgeons.

He is Editor-in-Chief of the journal Clinical Anatomy and Chair of the Federative International Programme on Anatomical Terminologies (FIPAT). Dr. Tubbs’ research interests are centered around what has been termed “reverse translational anatomy research” where clinical/surgical problems are identified and solved/explained with anatomical studies. This investigative paradigm in anatomy has resulted in over 1,700 peer reviewed publications from his laboratory. His h-index is 72 and in 2018, he was listed as a “hyperprolific author” in the journal Nature.   Dr. Tubbs has authored/edited over 50 books and over 80 book chapters primarily in anatomical and neurosurgical textbooks.
