"The text is designed to assist in the diagnosis and management of patients with oral soft tissue diseases. Some oral soft tissue diseases exhibit distinctive clinical features and require little more than visual recognition to make an accurate diagnosis. Others share common features making an accurate diagnosis more challenging. Recognizing the clinical features most helpful in differentiating one lesion from another is an essential part of the diagnostic process. In this manual, each lesion is illustrated by one or more color photographs depicting typical clinical features and common variations. Recommendations for treatment and follow-up, including sample prescriptions and concise drug monographs, are included. Key features: 95 lesions including Pericoronitis, Graft-versus-host disease, Dermoid cyst, Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaws, and Angioedema; 219 color photographs; Expanded sample prescription section; New antibiotic prophylaxis-preprocedural guidelines for dental patients; Alphabetical index; Anatomic site index." -- Publisher's description.

George Laskaris is renowned for his excellent Color Atlas of Oral Diseases, one of Thiemes all-time bestsellers. This new title by Laskaris represents the ideal companion to the atlas, providing a logical extension from the diagnostic atlases toward treatment of the diseases described here. Each disease is described in capsule form, with epidemiology, etiology, the main clinical features, and the appropriate diagnostic tests. After this, a section follows on general therapeutic guidelines, which involve topical or systemic treatment, environmental factors and alternative or experimental treatments. Finally, each report includes a section of the most important references on that condition. This efficiently conceived therapeutic guide to oral diseases will be an invaluable aid for all residents and physicians who may be called upon to evaluate oral diseases.

This resource addresses the wide array of new and longstanding legal issues relevant to dental practices in a user-friendly format with additional related references and resources in each chapter. With sample contracts, checklists, and other helpful supplementary materials. Includes e-book access.
