Inherently interdisciplinary, the field of oral medicine continues to incorporate and apply new knowledge and techniques to the care of patients. For nearly 70 years, Burket’s Oral Medicine has been the principal text for all major aspects of oral medicine, from the basic science to clinical practice. This 12th edition continues to serve as the authoritative source of information for students, residents, and clinicians interested in the field of oral medicine.
Through the addition of new chapters and substantial new material, the 12th edition of the book significantly advances the understanding of today’s practice of oral medicine. Research findings are produced at a rapid pace and are readily accessible from a variety of sources. A chapter on clinical research has been added to the book to help readers interpret how scientific findings reported in the literature impact their practice. Awareness of the unique aspects of oral health needs for the elderly, infants, and young children prompted the inclusion of two new chapters introducing the fields of geriatric and pediatric oral medicine. Two other original chapters on radiologic interpretations and complications of nonsurgical cancer therapy complement in more detail other broader topics addressed in the book.
The 12th edition of Burket’s Oral Medicine continues the tradition of this text in providing students, residents, and experienced practitioners with access to the expertise and experience of an international group of clinical scholars who are recognized experts in the increasingly complex field of diagnosis and medical management of maxillofacial disease and dental treatment of medically complex patients.

As one of today’s leading researchers of middle-ear disorders, Dr. Bluestone offers a unique perspective on the diagnosis and management of common middle-ear problems. Eustachian Tube: Structure, Function and Role in Middle-ear Disease is the first book to comprehensively cover these disorders in both adults and children.
Eustachian Tube begins with an overview of middle-ear anatomy and the epidemiology of middle ear disorders, then, progresses to discussion of current tests of eustachian tube function, as well as the physiology and pathophysiology of the eustachian tube.
Dr. Bluestone draws on his extensive clinical experience to describe the latest surgical and nonsurgical methods of middle-ear treatment. Throughout, photographs and drawings illustrate anatomy and pathophysiology.
The field of embryology has experienced a period of explosive growth since the previous edition of this book was published nearly a decade ago. The insights of genetic expression in determining the unfolding of the embryonic layers have revolutionized our understanding of some of the mechanisms of embryogenesis.
As implied by the title of the third edition, Craniofacial Embryogenetics and Development, genetics is linked with embryology in this text. Virtually all embryological development has an underlying genetic component, and the basic science of genetics is the key in uncovering the many mysteries of embryogenesis. The tools of molecular genetics have provided insights into developmental mechanisms that allow us the ability to identify transient regions of genetic expression patterns.
Unraveling the precise biochemical and mechanical interactions of discrete regions in the unfolding embryonic components remains a dauntingly complex challenge to understanding the conversion of the genome into the phenome. The addition of genetic information gleaned from other mammalian species might aid in dissecting human embryology into comprehensible components to understand normal and abnormal development. The third edition of Craniofacial Embryogenetics and Development is dedicated to this objective.
Key Features:
- Provides clinicians with a basic background for assessing and treating craniofacial anomalies.
- Describes recent technical advances in optical projection tomography, photoacoustic and 3D imaging, small-angle X-ray scattered (SAXS) tomography and morphometrics and their impact on embryogenetics.

Teaching Clinical Research Methodology by Example has two principal objectives: (1) to tell the story of the research process in action and to provide a glimpse into the minds of the researchers responsible for some of the major advances (and setbacks) in modern medicine; (2) to explain the principles of evidence-based medicine by reviewing the research methods required to prove or disprove a theory.
This text is written in a style accessible to health professionals who do not have a background in clinical epidemiology.
The first section of the book, Causation, begins with an explanation of “casual” and “coincidental” associations and follows with examples:
- Smoking and lung cancer
- Dietary fats and coronary heart disease
- Cause and cure of peptic ulcers,
- Viral infection and cancer of the cervix
- Vaccination and autism
- Venous obstruction as the cause of multiple sclerosis.
The second section of the book explores prevention, treatment, and the ethical principles of clinical trials.
- Treatments presented include surgery for breast cancer, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, use of Viagra, stem cells in breast cancer, and the use of aspirin to treat heart attacks.
- Preventive measures discussed include vaccines, peri-menopausal hormone therapy, aspirin in the treatment of heart attacks, prevention of sudden death after heart attacks, stroke prevention, preventing fatal pulmonary embolism in surgical patients.
- Includes a chapter on assessing net clinical benefits of a treatment.
- Closes with a glossary of methodological terms.
