Oral Surgery Textbook recommendation

Can anyone suggest a good textbook that covers basic oral surgery techniques such as extractions and how to deal with any complications. I want to supplement my notes but our class did not have a suggested textbook.

Peterson's is really comprehensive:

Lol and complete overkill for basic oral surgery. Most residents make it a goal to read that over their entire intern year.

The go to for most dental students and dentists for basic oral surgery is http://www.amazon.com/Contemporary-Oral-Maxillofacial-Surgery-James/dp/0323049036/

Peterson's is good, I would wait on it though because a new volume should be coming out very soon. According to my info, it is actually a few months late, so I would think any day now.

Current Therapy in Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery by Bagheri is another fairly comprehensive, virtually brand new text and it is relatively cheap.

Either of those should be plenty of info for a non-OMFS practitioner looking to bulk up their knowledge or a student looking to prepare for the road to residency.

If just wanting to get a very basic knowledge, I agree with GTFO..
