|
| |
Written for the oral and maxillofacial surgeon and other dental and medical specialists who deal with pathologies in the oral cavity, midface, and neck, this clinically oriented book addresses:- The underlying mechanism of each disease and how that dictates its clinical and radiographic presentation
- The process of determining a differential diagnosis for each disease or condition
- Specific treatment recommendations that the authors use or have researched as the most beneficial
- And the prognosis after treatment
A specific aim of this book is to challenge many long-held concepts that are no longer valid, but that nevertheless have been passed down to succeeding generations of dental and medical school students. Another aim is to eliminate illogical and confusing terminology that only reinforces misconceptions about the underlying cause of specific diseases. Above all, the authors seek to increase the knowledge and understanding of oral and maxillofacial surgeons and others entrusted with the care of these patients.

 A bedtime reading challenge..., May 10, 2008

only because it's heavy and crushes the sternum.
So I can't lie in bed with the pathology textbook. Small sacrifice considering this is the most awesome path book ever. It's well written, superbly illustrated and organized.
As a general dentist, there are conditions shown in this book that I will not likely see. I am sincerely grateful that I live in a country where most people would be seen and treated long before the situation gets out of hand. For now, at least. However, just learning about these conditions is valuable.
I have managed to find more than my share of pathology over the years and this book is worth every penny to help me become more aware of some of the subtle changes that signify danger for my patients. The serialized photography of cases alone is worth the price.

Oral & Maxillofacial Pathology Review, October 29, 2007
By Curing periodontal disease .. (Florida)

This is an excellent book (and quite frankly a "MUST HAVE") for the Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Resident, Private Practitioner or Attending Surgeons. It is also a book well suited for Otorhinolaryngologists, Plastic/Reconstructive Surgeons and General Dentists.
It is written in a clear, comprehensive and enjoyable format.
Highly Recommended and worth every penny.

I have had this book only for a few days but I already highly recommend to all working in oral and maxillofacial surgery. The book is great in not only explaining pathology but also treatment options.

This is a comprehensive medical textbook oriented towards specialists, fellows, residents medical and dental students treating pathologies found in the oral cavity, facial and neck areas. The clinically oriented text addresses the underlying mechanism of each disease and how symptoms dictate the clinical and radiographic presentation. The authors comprehensively present more than 425 disease pathologies through clinical presentation and pathogenesis, differential diagnosis, diagnostic work-up, histopathology, treatment and prognosis. The pathologies presented are accompanied by illustrations, histological cuts, radiographs, clinical photographs and tables, all of which make this textbook stand out from the others. There are more than 2,100 superb color photographs as well. This is timeless reference book making it well worth its hefty price tag.
