The new edition of this classic book continues to support a new generation of dental students in their understanding of the essential aspects of oral pathology and oral medicine as they relate to day-to-day practice.
Covering all aspects of patient care in an easy-to-understand and highly practical format, the book covers history, examination and investigation followed by a wide range of common and less frequently seen though important conditions categorised into hard tissue pathology, soft tissues disease and the management of the medically compromised patient.
Illustrated in full colour throughout, the book presents over 900 line artworks, diagnostic algorithms, photographs, scans and x-rays, tables and summary boxes to help make learning easy. Each section is also concluded by a self-assessment module which allows the reader to test their retention of the facts and ability to apply the information.
The new edition – which comes complete with Pageburst – offers readers the opportunity to experience ‘virtual microscopy’ by enlarging histological images and adding overlays to identify the features of the specimens shown. 3D cone beam images are also available to further add practical applicability to the content.
The fully updated Cawson’s Essentials of Oral Pathology and Oral Medicine 9th edition will be ideal for dental students and qualified practitioners sitting post-graduate exams throughout the world.
Cawson’s Essentials of Oral Pathology and Oral Medicine also comes with Pageburst – an exciting product which also provides readers with an eBook – giving them access to the complete book content electronically. Pageburst (formerly Evolve eBooks) allows readers to quickly search the entire book, make notes, add highlights, and study more efficiently. Buying other Pageburst titles makes any learning experience even better: all of the eBooks will work together on an electronic "bookshelf", so that readers can search across their entire library of eBooks to rapidly gain the information they need.
