Oral Medicine

Authors: Michael A.O. Lewis, Richard C.K. Jordan Publisher: CRC Press Edition: 2 Publish Year: 2017 ISBN: 9781138494183 The book uses a symptom-based approach to assist the clinician in the diagnosis and management of those conditions that fall into the speciality of oral medicine. Dealing first with normal anatomy, physical examination and investigation―particularly lesional biopsy, hematological assessment and microbiological sampling―the authors cover all areas of those diseases, local and systemic, that manifest themselves in the lips and mouth. Conditions are grouped under their principal presenting sign―blistering, white patches, red patches, swelling, pigmentation, pain, dry mouth, altered taste, and halitosis.
