Reviews

"All information is presented in a clear and accessible manner for everyone involved in oral medicine and pathology, from a dental student to a general practitioner, maxillofacial surgeon, head and neck surgeon, general pathologist, or specialist. in pathology and oral medicine. The information is presented in a very accessible and easy to consult manner, the book contains very clear diagrams and tables that simplify the understanding of the information, and the use presence in each chapter of boxes that summarize and highlight the most relevant information is a very useful feature."

"The chapters have been reorganised to present the most common lesions first, making the text easier to read and providing a thorough explanation of the clinical and radiographic features, pathogenesis, histopathology, and treatment of each cyst. An additional chapter has been added on the pathogenesis of cysts, which provides an overview of the phases of cyst formation and the interface between cysts and tumours. Variants are discussed only where they may affect diagnosis and management...Overall, the fifth edition updates bring welcome changes which make it more appealing and relevant to all levels of student, trainees, and specialists."
