ORAL MEDICINE 2ED (PB 2012) Paperback

This revised edition of a bestselling handbook has been fully updated to include the latest treatment options, a new section on head and neck imaging (CT/MRI), a set of self-test clinical cases, and 100 new photographs. The book adopts a symptom-based approach to help clinicians diagnose and manage conditions within the specialty of oral medicine. Beginning with normal anatomy, physical examination, and diagnostic methods—such as lesional biopsy, hematological assessments, and microbiological sampling—the authors address both local and systemic diseases that present in the lips and mouth. Conditions are organized based on their primary symptom—such as blistering, white patches, red patches, swelling, pigmentation, pain, dry mouth, altered taste, and halitosis. This comprehensive guide is a valuable resource for professionals and trainees in medicine, dentistry, and pathology.
