By	Travel Enthusiast (International) - See all my reviews

This is a comprehensive medical textbook oriented towards specialists, fellows, residents medical and dental students treating pathologies found in the oral cavity, facial and neck areas. The clinically oriented text addresses the underlying mechanism of each disease and how symptoms dictate the clinical and radiographic presentation. The authors comprehensively present more than 425 disease pathologies through clinical presentation and pathogenesis, differential diagnosis, diagnostic work-up, histopathology, treatment and prognosis. The pathologies presented are accompanied by illustrations, histological cuts, radiographs, clinical photographs and tables, all of which make this textbook stand out from the others. There are more than 2,100 superb color photographs as well. This is timeless reference book making it well worth its hefty price tag.

5.0 out of 5 stars A bedtime reading challenge..., May 10, 2008

By	Dr. Gabriella Kadar (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

only because it's heavy and crushes the sternum.

So I can't lie in bed with the pathology textbook. Small sacrifice considering this is the most awesome path book ever. It's well written, superbly illustrated and organized.

As a general dentist, there are conditions shown in this book that I will not likely see. I am sincerely grateful that I live in a country where most people would be seen and treated long before the situation gets out of hand. For now, at least. However, just learning about these conditions is valuable.

I have managed to find more than my share of pathology over the years and this book is worth every penny to help me become more aware of some of the subtle changes that signify danger for my patients. The serialized photography of cases alone is worth the price.

By	Garry G. Gill "omfs 1" (california) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have had this book only for a few days but I already highly recommend to all working in oral and maxillofacial surgery. The book is great in not only explaining pathology but also treatment options.
