Foreword
The everyday clinical practice of dentistry includes aspects of oral medicine. Lesions and abnormalities of the soft tissues of the mouth and orofacial region are common, with many conditions being indicative of systemic disease and disorders. Knowledge, understanding and the effective practice of oral medicine are therefore integral to the provision of holistic oral healthcare.
Oral medicine, in common with all other aspects of dentistry, continues to evolve at an ever increasing rate. This volume of the unique Quintessentials of Dental Practice series captures the essence of modern oral medicine for, in particular, the busy practitioner. From immunological problems through lumps and bumps, infections and white patches to premalignant lesions and oral cancers, together with sections on oral pigmentation, disorders of salivary glands and salivation, facial pain, neurological disorders and complementary therapies, this Quintessentials volume provides essential chairside information and guidance. Aficionados of Quintessence books and, in particular, the Quintessentials series will be pleased to recognise all the qualities they have come to expect: succinct, easy to digest, up-to-date text, well illustrated with high quality graphics and images.
This book is both a valuable, close-to-hand reference text and a pleasure to indulge in over the one or two evenings it takes to complete the cover to cover read. A gem of a book in the world-class Quintessentials series. I hope you enjoy and discover new dimensions to oral medicine from this excellent addition to the ongoing series.
