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 speciality 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 tasted
and halitosis. 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.
