Yes. Good for quick reference and quick facts in a question/answer format, but not a comprehensive source of everything (nor was it designed for that). We have likened it to pimp lube at times...

Off the top of my head (and some of these are $$$)

Marx oral pathology
Fonseca 3 volume
Andreoli and Carpenters essentials of medicine
Oral and Max Pthology by Neville
Misch implant book
a good anatomy book
Miloro (peterson) 2 volume omfs books

other topics would include Anesthesia, orthognathics/orthodontics, Surgical flaps, etc.

I know I am forgetting some

Does anyone know where you can order a hard copy of the Peterson's text? I tried ordering on amazon and they only gave me vol. 2
.... so now looking for only vol. 1, I guess.

Check the photo of the book

Maybe it's this....new primary author so maybe that's just historically been what's it's been called. New edition though, make sure you note that.

So future readers of this thread know, there are two version's of peterson's text:

1) Contemporary OMFS. By Peterson, Ellis, Hupp, Tucker. This is usually the one used in dental school courses.

2) Peterson's Principles of OMFS text's. By Miloro, Ghali, Larsen, Waite. This is 2 volumes and most resident's I know have this book.

Make sure you get the correct one when ordering your book.

Does anyone know if the international version of Fonseca's Trauma is different than US version other than being a couple hundred dollars cheaper? Thanks.

If anyone is thinking about buying Peterson's OMFS (Miloro et al), I would consider waiting a few months. I just talked to one of the authors who informed me that the new edition is coming out this year.

I have a brand new fonseca 3 volume series still in its wrapping which i am looking to sell because i got an extra one. It is the newest and most comprehensive text on OMFS that has been recently published. It retails for about 500 dollars brand new on the major websites but im willing to sell it for less to a colleague. Id be willing to sell it for 400 dollars plus shipping. Please contact me with any inquiries at [email protected]
