Originally published as a series of 13 papers in Dental Update, this book is a concise guide to what the dental team needs to know about conditions affecting the mouth, including ulcers, lumps, lesions, orofacial pain, and halitosis. Expert, clinically relevant discussions give dentists the ability to spot suspicious and possibly malignant lesions in the mouth, care for patients with systemic problems or oral side effects from drugs, and avoid potential medicolegal consequences that could result from a lack of knowledge in these areas.
