The main purpose of the book is to satisfy the dentist's interest in the diseases of the oral cavity through a topographic approach. The atlas-like presentation follows a well-defined structure concerning etiology, gingival involvement, other involvements, clinical features, differential diagnosis and treatment. Excellent color illustrations are explained and supported by a short and concise text. "The atlas is not intended to cover the new areas of interest in relation to periodontal health and cardiac and other disease, but rather to demonstrate the systemic diseases that manifest to the periodontist and hygienist. The atlas thus covers a vast range of systemic disorders that may present with gingival or periodontal lesions and highlights the importance of the periodontal and oral medicine teams in diagnosing and managing patients with sometimes complex medical problems. The authors, Professor George Laskaris and Professor Crispian Scully, are both active clinicians, teachers and researchers in oral medicine, with wide experience and special interest in the oral medicine/periodontal interface and both have published widely in their fields. I welcome this contribution to the advancement of care for the patient with periodontal disease."
