Cranio-maxillofacial surgery is a superspecialty that evolved after the world wars. The complexity of the field and the dedication required to achieve mastery has resulted in very few surgeons specializing in it. Prof. S. M. Balaji, a renowned Cranio-maxillofacial surgeon from Chennai, India had meticulously documented every case during his twenty seven years of practice and has authored this book so that the knowledge gained during those years is not lost to the world.

This book is designed primarily as a reference book for post-graduates and residents in Maxillofacial Surgery and Craniofacial Surgery. Liberal use of line diagrams, photos, and infographics in this book has made the learning process more interactive with greater involvement of the reader.
