Description
Highly Commended at BMA Medical Book Competition 2009, "Oral and Maxillofacial Medicine, 2nd Edition" continues to present the basics of the specialty in an accessible and digestible format. Avoiding excessive detail, the prize-winning book offers sound guidance on the whole range of common and potentially serious disorders that are routinely encountered in clinical practice. "Oral and Maxillofacial Medicine, 2nd Edition" places a strong emphasis on practical issues with a clear 'how to' approach and easy access to information via the liberal use of artworks, tables, colour photographs, patient care pathways and chapter summary boxes. Completely revised and updated, with additional text and illustrations, this volume is ideal for senior dental students, dental practitioners and for trainees and practitioners in oral medicine, surgery and pathology in particular.
