The book ""Diagnosis And Surgical Management Of Diseases Of The Temporomandibular Joint"" by Bernard G. Sarnat is a comprehensive guide to the diagnosis and surgical treatment of diseases affecting the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). The temporomandibular joint is the joint that connects the jawbone to the skull, and disorders of this joint can cause pain and dysfunction in the jaw, face, and neck.The book begins with an overview of the anatomy and physiology of the TMJ, followed by a discussion of the various disorders that can affect the joint, including degenerative joint disease, inflammatory arthritis, and traumatic injury. The author then provides a detailed description of the diagnostic tools and techniques used to evaluate TMJ disorders, including imaging studies and physical examination.The second half of the book focuses on surgical management of TMJ disorders, including arthroscopic surgery, open joint surgery, and joint replacement. The author provides step-by-step instructions for each surgical procedure, along with detailed illustrations and photographs to aid in understanding.Throughout the book, the author emphasizes the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to the management of TMJ disorders, involving not only oral and maxillofacial surgeons but also orthodontists, physical therapists, and pain management specialists. The book is aimed at oral and maxillofacial surgeons, residents in training, and other healthcare professionals involved in the diagnosis and treatment of TMJ disorders.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
