This highly illustrated handbook uses a symptom-based approach to assist the clinician in the
diagnosis and management of those conditions that fall into the
specialty of oral medicine. Dealing first with normal anatomy, physical
examination and investigation - particularly lesional biopsy,
haematological assessment and microbiological sampling - the authors
cover all areas of those diseases, local and systemic, that manifest
themselves in the lips and mouth. Conditions are grouped under their
principal presenting sign - blistering, white patches, red patches,
swelling, pigmentation, pain, dry mouth, altered taste and halitosis.
With 260 brilliant color photographs illustrating each disease, this is
the perfect text to consult for accurate diagnosis and treatment
strategies. A comprehensive and practical guide to the management and
treatment of oral problems, this handbook will be of value to
professionals and trainees in medicine, pathology and dentistry.
