Synopsis
This work provides a visual tour of oral pathology. The authors examine the subject from both a pathological and a surgical perspective, offering clinically oriented coverage of oral lesions and conditions.

Synopsis
This atlas of common oral diseases offers an organized visual approach to disease recognition with colour photographs. These are intended to aid the reader in precise recognition of oral lesions. Included are: anatomic landmarks; acquired defects of teeth; and oral cancers.

Synopsis
This is a revision of Cawson's "Oral Pathology and Diagnosis", published in 1987. Each chapter has been updated by revising the text in order to include new information (eg AIDS-related oral manifestations, developments in diagnostic techniques and therapeutics) and clarify existing text where appropriate, and by the inclusion of new colour slides (clinical photographs, gross pathology, histology) and radiographs. In addition, the organization of the book has been modified to reflect current thinking (eg multiple myeloma and solitary plasma cytoma are now covered in the chapter on nonodontogenic tumours, rather than in that on diseases of the haemopoeitic tissues and lympho-reticular system). The importance of clinicopathological correlations in understanding the mechanisms and management of oral diseas is becoming increasingly recognized, and while the approach adopted in the first edition served this growing need, the correlations between clinical appearances and microscopical aspects are given even greater emphasis in this edition.

Book Description
This book provides dental students with high quality pictures giving them practice in the visual recognition of oral diseases, and with a concise descriptive text in the proven Colour Guide format. For consistency and ease of use the text describes each condition under the following headings: - aetiology - incidence - clinical features - special investigations - treatment As ever with the Colour Guide titles, text and illustrations are on facing pages, making the book both ideal for learning and useful for self-testing.

Synopsis
This work includes information on topics such as: lip lesions, intraoral lumps, teeth disorders and HIV disease.

The Colour Guides titles have no competition, with their combination of small size, concise text, and lavish use of colour images, they provide an inexpensive but invaluable pocket reference for students and doctors alike.

Synopsis
The General Dental Council Recommendations concerning the dental curriculum indicate that dental students should be able to understand human disease as far as is relevant to the practice of dentistry. Indeed, modern dental practice has an increasingly important basis in medicine and surgery, particularly with the rising elderly population and numbers of patients suffering various systemic disorders which as the immunological diseases. In addition, the increasing complexity of operative dental, oral and maxillofacial surgery, and oral medicine and pathology warrants a substantial knowledge of medical matters. This work is intended to help trainees of all dental specialities, postgraduates and practitioners. It also aims to provide the readers with an awareness of the major clinical features of common medical and surgical disorders, of the extraoral features of disorders with prominent oral features, and of those disorders that influence features of disorders with prominent oral features, and of those disorders that influence dental management.
