Product Description

This is the seventh edition of a highly successful book on oral pathology and oral medicine for dental studentsand postgraduates taking further dental exams such as the FDS. Radical changes were introduced when the sixth edition was published in 1998, the most important of which were the restriction of the content to oral pathology and oral medicine from its former broader coverage, and the introduction of colour illustrations. A major change to the seventh edition will be that colour illustrations will be spread throughout the book.

Fantastic!

Utterly indispensible.
A summary of all aspects of oral med and path, both hard tissue and soft tissue. Its catagorized by type of pathology, and subdivided from that into specific lesions. There’s a lot of information on the commoner conditions, although the rarer ones are worth only one sparse paragraph.
Well illustrated with lots of good pictures of pathologies. The section on cysts (which are, after all, the things most likely to come up in exams) is particularly good.
Very useful are the summary tables which list all possible causes of red patches/white patches/radiolucencies/whatever and their distinguishing features. They’re easy to understand, memorize and regurgitate in exams.
This passed me finals.

Great book
