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, laboratory 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Laskaris' Color Atlas, March 15, 2000

This review is from: Color Atlas of Oral Diseases (Hardcover)

Like many books of this type, you are held hostage to the examples the author has been able to garner over his professional career. Obscure entities usually are exampled with poor pictorial representations. In this case, Laskaris has provided excellent examples of all entities both in quality of photograph and actual example chosen to represent that entity. A short synopsis with pertinent facts accompanies each entity along with helpful differential diagnoses, laboratory tests and treatment regimens. This atlas is organized in fine fashion and provides clear subject identification. In general, this atlas is a must as a general Oral Pathology study aid as well as clinical aid.
