Summary:

Human disease for dentistry is a practical, accessible textbook intended to help dental students understand the manifestations of human diseases and disorders, and the diagnostic services used in their investigations and treatment. Many medical conditions of other systems manifest themselves in the mouth, and students are expected to recognize these symptoms as well as to understand their causes and the underlying condition. This book covers these areas highlighting the conditions which are most important to the practising dentist. The book will help the student to recognize problems in the medical history of patients who are about to undergo dental treatment, and will encourage them to take appropriate action. Written in an innovative style, with numerous key points and clinical cases throughout, the book provides the necessary information to enable dental students to provide first-rate dental treatment and advice to patients.
