Description
|
This is an excellent book with in-depth information about a variety of systemic problems and their relationship to the oral cavity. It comes with a helpful CD-ROM with problem-solving cases. |
|
Purpose
|
The book is intended for those in training in oral medicine and as a supplemental reference for clinicians and clinical application. These are worthy objectives. |
|
Audience
|
It is targeted to the training dentist for use in a course in oral medicine/oral pathology. The author is a credible authority. |
|
Features
|
This book successfully structures oral medicine into five categories. Each category is further subdivided and thoroughly covered. The CD-ROM has good illustrations and detailed text. I particularly like the chapters on facial pain and neurology. |
|
Assessment
|
This is an excellent book for the undergraduate dentist and it links medical problems to oral health well. It has more information than other oral medicine books and is a good reference for those preparing for examinations. |
