Description

Prepared by authors of international renown, The Pocketbook of Oral Disease offers a wealth of information in a handy quick-reference format. Containing over 500 tables and illustrations, this useful guide covers the most common and potentially serious oral conditions seen in clinical practice.

Emphasising diagnosis and treatment in primary care, many topics are covered in a two-page spread to make reference and study uncommonly easy and effective.
