The primary target audience is practicing oral and maxillofacial surgeons (8,000). Oral and maxillofacial surgery residents will buy the book, and it will be used in hospital residency programs, the numbers of which are increasing because practitioners coming to the US are able to fulfill part of their US certification by working in such a program. Young practitioners will use this book to help prepare them for regional, state, and national board examinations. The book will also be useful to anyone moving to another state who needs to become recertified.
