Oral Pathology - Elsevier eBook on VitalSource, 6th Edition
Elsevier eBook on VitalSource
Covering pathologic conditions by clinical appearance, this atlas-style text helps students learn to identify, diagnose, and plan treatment for oral disease presentations. The Clinical Overview at the beginning of the book features two-page spreads which include clinical photos of common conditions on one side while the facing page lists the central features, causes, and significance of each specific disease. Each chapter is organized by clinical appearance, such as white lesions, red-blue lesions, and cysts of the jaws and neck, and includes full-color photomicrographs and clinical photos to help in identifying pathologic elements. This edition adds new coverage of oral cancer and new cone beam CT, regular CT, and MRI images. It's ideal for the lab, NBDE review, or chairside use!
"This text is an example of how an understanding of the needs of readerships in dentistry, be they undergraduate, post graduate or busy clinican embarkings on a life-long educational journey, can result in a book which provides the reader with a very high quality and relevant learning experience...I highly recommend this text to all members of the dental team and will ensure we have a copy in our student library."

- NEW! Advanced imaging techniques include images such as such as CBCTs (cone beam computed tomography), regular CTs, and MRIs, reflecting the transition from a 2-dimensional to a 3-dimensional approach in acquiring data and reconstructing images, and helping students identify and assess disease entities -- especially tumors of the salivary glands, jaws, and soft tissues.
- NEW! Expanded sections on etiology, treatment, and diagnosis of oral cancer (HPV) describe how subtypes can play an important role in the development and natural history of some head and neck cancers, most notably those arising in the oropharynx.
- NEW! Expanded section on bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaws helps in effectively managing patients taking bisphosphonates to prevent bone loss, including information on oral complications, risk factors, and benefits.
- An atlas-style Clinical Overview section makes it easy to find key information, with one page showing clinical photos of common conditions and the facing page listing symptoms, causes, and significance.
- Organization by clinical appearance -- such as including all red-blue lesions in one chapter along with possible causes -- matches what a clinician would expect to see upon a patient's presentation, and provides a practical tool for developing differential diagnoses and planning treatment.
- Hundreds of full-color clinical photographs and radiographs depict specific conditions for easier identification in real clinical scenarios.
- Full-color photomicrographs help students identify pathologic elements and provide correct diagnoses and treatment plans.
- Boxes and tables offer clear, at-a-glance information on the clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment for many conditions.
- Student resources on a companion Evolve website include 30 case studies, a 150-question practice exam, and case-based learning with preparation for the NBDE and for clinical practice.
- Instructor resources on Evolve include a 500-question test bank and a collection of all of the images from the book.
