Paediatric Orofacial Medicine and Pathology

Pediatric Orofacial Medicine and Pathology is a major source book for specialists and trainees in paediatric dentistry. At the same time, it is a definitive reference for their colleagues in oral medicine, oral pathology and orthodontics, oral & maxillofacial surgery and paediatrics.

This book considers and illustrates both common and unusual oral lesions found in children, with accompanying text outlining diagnostic features and management of the described conditions.

A special characteristic of the book is that it includes many syndromes in which developmental orofacial or dental disorders are a major feature. The text is arranged in chapters which are grouped from a clinical perspective, commencing with a chapter on diagnostic approaches, followed by normal development. Each condition is described in detail and guidelines are given for diagnosis and management on the basis of currently accepted knowledge and practice. The second edition is particularly coloured by advances in the field of genetics.
