Description

A sound understanding of clinical oral pathology is essential if a dental clinician is to navigate successfully through clinical guidelines, make timely referrals to specialists, and provide good care for patients. This new edition of Soames' & Southam's Oral Pathology provides a clear and friendly guide for students, practitioners, and the whole dental team.

Thoroughly updated for today's clinical practice, this textbook covers 'must-know' oral pathology and integrates key aspects of oral medicine. It begins by explaining the principles of clinical assessment, the synthesis of a differential diagnosis, and the selection of further investigations including laboratory tests. Ten chapters bring this theory to life by looking at the clinical and pathological features of a wide range of common oral diseases including oral cancer, salivary gland disorders, and diseases of the jaws. Two new chapters address skin diseases affecting the orofacial region and neck lumps. A final chapter highlights the importance of clinical oral pathology in the context of systemic human disease.

New radiology content includes examples of cross-sectional imaging. Photomicrographs have been replaced with carefully selected images to illustrate key pathological features. Each chapter includes key points boxes and tables to aid learning.

Written by experts in both oral pathology and oral medicine, this new edition is a must-have for dentistry students, and those working in the field, providing current and trustworthy information.

Quotes, Reviews or Testimonials

"Illustrated books on oral pathology will always have their place in the library of the dental student or practitioner. (This one) will serve as an excellent ready reference.""

-- Christopher Smith, DDS (University of Chicago Medical Center) Doody's Review - previous edition

"Oral Pathology should retain its place as 'essential reading' in all dental curricula. Although this book is aimed at undergraduate dental students, I would not hesitate to recommend it as a useful book for general dental practitioners and postgraduate students aiming to further their knowledge in the field of oral pathology."

-- A.V. Jones in British Dental Journal

Audience

The book caters primarily to undergraduate students new to pathology concepts and their clinical presentation. It can also serve as a ready reference guide for the everyday practitioner in trying to develop a differential diagnosis.
