Summary:

Firmly established as the textbook of choice on the subject, Oral Medicine is unique in its comprehensive coverage at a level suitable for both dentistry students and practitioners. Highly illustrated in full colour, the new edition continues to provide an introduction to oral medicine covering the principles, investigations, and therapy. It discusses infections of the oral mucosa, lips, tongue, and salivary glands as well as oral manifestations of systemic diseases in the mouth. The fifth edition has undergone major revisions in terms of content, layout, and style, bringing the book in line with the changing dental curriculum. Case studies demonstrating oral medicine conditions have been introduced with a discussion of their differential diagnosis and management options. A number of projects have also been added with the purpose of encouraging students to consult other reference sources and to promote self-directed learning, discussion, and debate. This book will provide readers at all levels with an accurate reflection of current ideas and attitudes in this rapidly developing subject area.
