Preface

The Handbook of Oral Pathology and Oral Medicine is primarily targeted at undergraduate dental students and practitioners. Dental students find the available prescribed textbooks of oral pathology and oral medicine loaded with information and are not user friendly, particularly at the time of preparation for examinations. Teachers and students alike feel that there is a need for a book that offers information in a concise manner for quick reference. This handbook aims to fill this need by providing a highly illustrated succinct guide presented as bulleted lists for easy reference. Text style used in this handbook allows the reader to quickly gather essential information relevant to the disease without scanning through lengthy paragraphs. For further information, a recommended reading list is provided at the end of each chapter.

Topics included in this book are in accordance with the universally followed curricula in oral pathology and oral medicine. The text is divided in seven parts: pathology of teeth, pulp, and supporting structures, pathology of jawbones, pathology of the oral mucosa, pathology of the salivary glands, clinical presentation of mucosal disease, orofacial pain, and miscellaneous topics of clinical relevance. Many international clinicians and teachers have generously contributed clinical, radiographical and photomicrographic images to this handbook.

The author and the publishers feel that the format, design, style, and content of the text used in this handbook will assist dental students and clinicians in dentistry and other healthcare professions. Accompanying this handbook is a website containing case scenarios and MCQs especially designed for dental students preparing for examinations.
