Foreword
I am delighted and honoured to have been asked to provide a foreword to
this third edition of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.
I doubt that there are many oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS) sur-
geons who have not relied upon one or more of the Oxford University
Press pocket handbooks in the course of their careers. While the Internet,
social media, and increasingly sophisticated search engines can often pro-
vide information to a portable device within seconds, there is to my mind
no real substitute for an authoritative textbook, compiled with care, and
drawing together in one place the peer-v alidated expertise of our profes-
sion. The current concerns about ‘fake news’ perhaps serve to emphasize
the importance of ensuring the veracity of evidence upon which we rely
when making important decisions which affect the safety of patients. This
book is designed to fit in a pocket, and be an everyday practical aid for the
busy clinician at every stage of their career. The ever increasing complexity
of medicine and surgery makes it imperative that all clinicians have access
to reliable and up- to- date information about our rapidly changing and wide-
ranging specialty.
Carrie Newlands and Cyrus Kerawala are not only internationally ac-
claimed for their clinical contributions to our surgical discipline, but are also
recognized as expert teachers and examiners. Once again, they have suc-
cessfully managed to corral busy clinicians from all branches of the specialty
to bring the third edition of this text fully up to date.

Preface to the third
edition
We remain committed to surgical teaching, and are active in examining can-
didates for the exit FRCS in OMFS. This third edition provides further up-
dates from previous and new authors, all of whom are expert in their fields.
We hope you continue to find it useful in your careers.

Preface to the second
edition
Since the first edition of this book the editors have maintained their strong
interest in teaching and examining candidates for the exit FRCS in OMFS.
They are definitely older, and possibly a little wiser. Like many specialties,
oral and maxillofacial surgery develops over time so this new edition builds
on the success and popularity of the first with updates by previous and new
authors. We hope you find it useful.
Cyrus Kerawala and Carrie Newlands, 2014
