Clinical Outline of Oral Pathology: Diagnosis and Treatment
Clinical Outline of Oral Pathology, 4th edition, with full color images, integrates the clinical approaches to basic oral pathology, oral radiology, and oral medicine with a primary objective of providing students with a protocol for developing differential diagnoses. The text guides students through the process of evaluating patient responses and clinical signs so as to limit the differential and ultimately arrive at a definitive diagnosis, and developing appropriate management and treatment. Diseases of the oral cavity are categorized according to presenting signs and symptoms.
