Synopsis

Firmly established as the textbook of choice on the subject, Tyldesley's Oral Medicine is unique in its comprehensive coverage at a level suitable for both undergraduate and postgraduate dental students and practitioners. Highly illustrated in full colour, the new edition covers the
principles, investigation and management of oral mucosal disease, salivary gland dysfunction and orofacial pain. The oral manifestations of systemic disease are described together with the recognition and management of medical emergencies in dentistry.

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.

Specialist advisers for this new edition have ensured that the book will provide readers at all levels with an accurate reflection of current ideas in this rapidly developing area of clinical practice.

From a fifth year dental student reviewer: "I was very impressed. I like the idea of having the "problem cases", which is a good talking point and ideal for new developments in teaching, such as Problem Based Learning. I was very pleased with its educational value. It's style is not too
complex, but challenges the reader."

Review:

This new edition offers a major update and extension of the previous, with improvements in layout, while retaining the clear, readable and very user-friendly style... case studies are an innovation... This book will appeal to a wide specialist and general dental readership, as well as remaining an excellent companion to undergraduate studies. It offers good value for money. Dental Update The format of the book is excellent... the colour photographs and radiographic images are superb. Excellent examples of numerous presenting conditions are included with great clarity... For dental students searching for a book that will assist in gathering information to pass their final written exams and also help in the clinical environment in general practice, I can certainly thoroughly recommend this publication. However, the usefulness of this book is then just beginning - in my opinion Tyldesley's Oral Medicine would be a useful addition to every general dental practice. Dental Practice The authors and Oxford Medical Publications are to be congratulated on the 5th edition of Tyldesley's Oral Medicine. This 5th edition has significantly changed and improved upon the previous edition... the text is well written, well illustrated, and well laid out, and the 5th edition represents a significant improvement on what has already become a popular and standard oral medicine text. British Dental Journal, Vol 195, No 9 The authors have produced a stimulating and thought-provoking text. Primary Dental Care
