Some of the complex subjects of immunology are simplified using templates, colour diagrams and illustrations for easy understanding of the end user.
To summarise, this excellent book provides an invaluable collection of useful information about oral immunology and its key aspect for dental medicine. This book is an essential read for both undergraduate and postgraduate students, and is an enjoyable read for anyone or any clinician willing to have a good grasp of oral immunology and the immune system."
