This book equips dentists with a thorough understanding of oral pathology and clinical management of oral mucosal lesions and oral biopsies. Readers will learn about biopsy techniques and the histology and anatomy of a normal oral mucosa. White lesions, red lesions and ulcerative lesions are discussed as well as verrocous lesions, vesiculobullous lesions and pigmented lesions. The book focuses on the successful interdisciplinary work with oral maxillofacial pathologists and includes a wealth of high-quality photographs drawn from the authors’ own extensive clinical experience. It is a perfect companion volume to the book Clinical Oral Pathology - Kochaji's Guide to Oral Lesions and Biopsies, and a must-have for all dental care providers who want to deepen their knowledge in the pathology of the oral mucosa.
