Description
Book SynopsisThis book is an up-to-date guide to the diagnosis and management of the oral and orofacial conditions that may be encountered by dentists in primary care. Now in its fourth edition, the book has been completely restructured to provide a clinical signs and symptoms approach to disease that will enhance the ability of clinicians to establish the correct diagnosis. This is achieved by the lavish use of high-quality colour clinical illustrations that cover the full spectrum of conditions seen most frequently in the dental surgery. In addition, contemporary information on patient management is presented in a clear and reader-friendly style. The book provides the clinician with an extremely useful tool for clinical diagnosis and delivery of the highest quality patient care. The contents are of direct relevance to all members of the dental team, not only in general practice but also in specialist settings.
Trade Review“This textbook is essential for any dental student sitting exams to any postgraduate or dental care professional working in primary care. It serves as a useful, practical and convenient aid to remind clinicians of how to diagnose and manage common and uncommon oral medicine conditions, and decide whether they can be managed in primary or secondary care.” (Jonathan Wareing, British Dental Journal, Vol. 234 (7), April, 2023)
