Oral Pathology : Clinical Pathologic Correlations

Thoroughly revised and updated to reflect new advances in knowledge, this popular resource presents a practical approach to over 350 diseases of the oral mucosa, and jaws. It offers detailed guidance on etiology, pathogenesis, clinical features, histopathology, differential diagnosis, and treatment, as well as discussions of molecular disease mechanisms, the etiology of oral cancer, and common skin diseases. A clinical overview outlines the clinical aspects of each disease discussed in the main body of the text, including its features, cause, significance, location, patient age, and radiographic appearance - making this book ideal as a quick chairside reference.

• New contributors and a new main author bring years of credibility and experience in various fields of pathology and oral medicine to the book.
• The Clinical Overview presents disease characteristics with full-color clinical photographs for rapid chairside identification of oral lesions.
• Up-to-date references for further reading are presented in bibliographies at the end of each chapter direct readers to additional literature for more information on each topic.
• Nearly every disease presented is illustrated with high-quality, full-color clinical photos, radiographs, and histopathological images.
• Content outlines at the beginning of each chapter allow quick reference of specific topics.
• Each chapter is consistently organized with a clinical orientation for easy reading, reference, and aid in differential diagnosis.
• Organization according to clinical presentation rather than disease etiology makes it very practical for use in the clinical setting.
• Correlations of clinical and radiographic findings with microscopy provide an in-depth understanding of oral diseases.
• Current concepts on disease etiology and treatment are emphasized.
