A seemingly boundless wealth of exquisite images for the diagnosis and therapy of diseases of the oral cavity, and systemic diseases with oral manifestations
This remarkable reference work is the result of decades of experience on the part of a top specialist in oral medicine, George Laskaris. The book draws heavily from the singular dedication with which the author has been documenting details of the pathology of the diseases of thousands of patients he has treated over the past decades, and also capturing these on camera in exquisite photographs.
Key Features:
- More than 1,000 close-up photographs, in high resolution and full color, from the author's vast collection of more than 130,000 images
- Concise explanatory texts supporting the images
- Consistent organization of crucial information, including guidelines for diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to the patient with oral disease, basic characteristics of the diseases, diff erential diagnoses, histopathologic findings, lab findings, and therapeutic strategies
- An appendix including tables of differential diagnosis based on morphology and color of lesions, and tables with biopsy considerations
Laskaris'
Color Atlas of Oral Diseases: Diagnosis and Treatment
is certain to be an essential reference not only for physicians and dentists involved in the diagnosis and therapy of oral diseases but also for dermatologists, otorhinolaryngologists, pediatricians, internists, hematologists, and rheumatologists evaluating the oral manifestations of systemic diseases.
Laskaris' Color Atlas of Oral Diseases, a highly successful diagnostic atlas now in its third edition, aids physicians in solving diagnostic problems and preparing their own outline of treatment. The entire spectrum of both local diseases and oral manifestations of systemic diseases is presented. Each disease is illustrated by outstanding representative clinical color photographs juxtaposed with a concise text delineating the clinical signs and symptoms.
For the third edition, the text has been thoroughly revised to keep pace with new concepts in oral medicine. The structure of the text has been clarified and made more practically useful, with references to etiology, clinical images, differential diagnosis, labaratory diagnostic tests, and therapy guidelines.
Also new in the third edition: four new chapters, and more than 240 new, exquisite illustrations of lesions and pathologic conditions affecting the oral cavity.
