The new edition of this highly successful volume continues to offer
readers with a systemized and objective approach to the practice of
oral and maxillofacial medicine.
Fully updated throughout with over 100 new photographs and artworks,
Oral and Maxillofacial Medicine 3e presents a straightforward,
easy-to-read guide to the successful diagnosis and treatment of the
most common and potentially serious disorders seen in clinical
practice. Maintaining a strong patient-centred approach throughout,
the book also explores relevant systemic disorders and includes a
reference section on eponymous and other conditions to ensure
completion of the subject area. Full treatment options are given –
including when to refer to medical, oncology or surgical colleagues
– together with a comprehensive section on adverse drug reactions.
Prepared by an author of international renown, this clearly written
and beautifully illustrated book includes a wealth of anatomical
artwork, treatment algorithms, clinical photographs, tables and
‘pull out’ boxes as well as sample ‘Patient Information
Sheets’.
