This book features elaborate composite illustrations created in layers, starting from the skeleton and working out to the surface of the skin. All medical disciplines that deal with the human face must rely on exact knowledge of its highly complex topographical anatomy. Facial plastic surgeons; dermatologists; specialists for ear, nose and throat; oral surgeons; orthodontists; and dentists. To this list should be added physiotherapistswho work in the field of temporomandibular disorders and speech therapists; for these professionals detailed knowledge of the orofacial region is also mandatory. The high quality images and illustrations in this atlas are the result of a modelling drawing technique, building up layer over layer. Therefore, clarity is superior to photographed anatomical specimens, and the impressions are closer to life than schematic illustrations could be. Medical and dental students can also make use of this atlas without worrying about the abundance of detail; on the contrary, the atlas is intended to be a guideline for use while learning about facial topographical anatomy.
