| - 'It is a superb mini-reference work of invaluable practical use to any clinician involved in the oral cavity and suits well a pan professional application at whatever stage of undergraduate and postgraduate career. I would not hesitate to unreservedly recommend it as certainly a best buy for the practice library as dental professionals more and more become concerned and involved with a holistic
approach to patient care. Buy it and keep it to hand. It needs small shelf space and you will use its pages frequently.' - Dental Practice

With coverage of oral medicine and pathology, oral and maxillofacial surgery, including traumatology, and relevant aspects of sedation, anaesthetics and therapeutics, this book bridges the gap between undergraduate dental
and medical knowledge, allowing the dental professional to be able to take a full medical history, examine the patient, perform the appropriate investigations, appreciate the patient's medical problems and their implications on dental management, and finally enabling them to treat their patients in a safe and effective way. |
Readership: Aimed at hospital postgraduate dental trainees and those in general or community dental practice. It should also be useful to final year dental undergraduates, those studying towards postgraduate degrees or memberships, and to auxiliary staff.
