Book description
George Laskaris is renowned for his excellent Color Atlas of Oral
Diseases, one of Thiemes all-time bestsellers. This new title by
Laskaris represents the ideal companion to the atlas, providing a
logical extension from the diagnostic atlases toward treatment of the
diseases described here. Each disease is described in capsule form, with
epidemiology, etiology, the main clinical features, and the appropriate
diagnostic tests. After this, a section follows on general therapeutic
guidelines, which involve topical or systemic treatment, environmental
factors and alternative or experimental treatments. Finally, each report
includes a section of the most important references on that condition.
This efficiently conceived therapeutic guide to oral diseases will be an
invaluable aid for all residents and physicians who may be called upon
to evaluate oral diseases. ''The ideal companion to the atlas...this
