Facial Aesthetics: Concepts and Clinical Diagnosis is a
unique new illustrated resource for facial aesthetic surgery and
dentistry, providing the comprehensive clinical textbook on the art
and science of facial aesthetics for clinicians involved in the
management of facial deformities, including orthodontists, oral and
maxillofacial surgeons, plastic and reconstructive surgeons and
aesthetic dentists. It aims to provide readers with a comprehensive
examination of facial aesthetics in the context of dentofacial and
craniofacial diagnosis and treatment planning. This aim is achieved
through coupling meticulous research and practical clinical advice
with beautifully drawn supporting illustrations and diagrams.
Structured over 24 logically arranged and easy-to-follow
chapters, Part I of Facial Aesthetics covers the historical
evidence for facial aesthetic canons and concepts in depth. It
incorporates all aspects relevant to the work of the clinician,
including the philosophical and scientific theories of facial
beauty, facial attractiveness research, facial expression and the
psychosocial ramifications of facial deformities. Part II of the
book then goes on to examine clinical evaluation and diagnosis in
considerable detail under four sections, from the initial
consultation interview and acquisition of diagnostic records
(section 1), complete clinical examination and analysis of the
craniofacial complex (section 2), in depth analysis of each
individual facial region using a top-down approach (section 3) and
finally focussing on smile and dentogingival aesthetic evaluation
(section 4).
An in-depth, thoughtful, practical and absorbing reference,
Facial Aesthetics will find an enthusiastic reception among
facial aesthetic surgeons and aesthetic dentists with an interest
in refining their understanding and appreciation of the human face
and applying practical protocols to their clinical diagnosis and
treatment planning.
Key features:
* Examines facial aesthetics in a clinical context
* Promotes an interdisciplinary approach to facial aesthetic
analysis
* Detailed description of the systematic clinical evaluation of
the facial soft tissues and craniodentoskeletal complex
* Detailed, step-by-step aesthetic analysis of each facial
region
* In-depth analysis of 2D and 3D clinical diagnostic records
* Evidence-based approach, from antiquity to contemporary
scientific evidence, to the guidelines employed in planning the
correction of facial deformities
* Treatment planning from first principles highlighted
* Clinical notes are highlighted throughout
* Clearly organized and practical format
* Highly illustrated in full colour throughout
