This book is intended to supplement oral medicine/pathology lecture courses and traditional textbooks, and to prepare students to use a methodical problem-oriented approach to clinical diagnosis, by embedding clinical theory within clinical practice.

In nine illustrated chapters covering benign lesions, swellings and ulcers, malignancies, dental and orofacial pain and miscellaneous disorders, over 100 common clinical scenarios involving oral diseases requiring non-surgical treatment are presented, with detailed discussion of solutions to the clinical problems presented and answers to commonly asked questions.

Formal theory is integrated with real clinical situations in oral medicine and there is an emphasis on developing a sense of critical thinking at every step of the diagnostic and management exercise that a student undertakes in oral medicine clinics.
