Self-assessment questions
A useful and important learning aid!
This is a highly informative book which is useful for all dental students. It provides concise factual information and relevant diagrams, as well as histological slides. The book is also easy to read and interesting.
There are boxes listing key features of the diseases, for a useful revision aid, and there are logical flow diagrams showing differential diagnoses. The book covers the aspects of oral medicine and pathology in depth, but also provides information about medically compromised patients and common dental diseases, such as caries and periodontal disease.
As a BDS4 student I highly recommend this book! --BDS student, UK
"Brilliant Book!
This is an excellent book for dental students, which contains just the right amount of information coupled with some remarkable colour images.
Don't let its title of Oral Pathology and Oral Medicine mislead you to think that it is just a collection of slides - it has a lot of in depth knowledge in all areas relating to oral health as well as a section with the relevant medical aspects of dentistry covered in good detail. It’s very easy to read and doesn’t contain a lot of waffle. The bullet point boxes highlight the relevant and important key features which are great for revision.
I thoroughly recommend this book for all dental undergraduate students. --BDS student, UK
The perfect book for oral medicine!
Being a fourth year dental student, this book has provided a lot of information for oral medicine.
A lot of my lecturers use this book in their handouts, so when you read those handouts you know where to look afterwards. It has nice diagrams which are easy to understand and make your studying a bit less stressful.
What I also enjoyed in this book is that it doesn't stick just to oral medicine, but it also takes you a step further giving you information concerning not only dental but medically relevant information as well." --BDS student, UK
Oral med made easy!
This book is great for revision!
There are lots of pictures and histological slides, and the book is not loaded with text making it easier to read. There are summary boxes and flow diagrams. It also has information about 'normal' dental conditions such as caries and periodontitis and a section on medical emergencies.
I don't know how I'd pass without this book!" --BDS student, UK
