This book has been written with the philosophy that the acquisition of clinical skills is most effectively undertaken at the chairside. This book should be used as a companion, to be taken in the clinics where the information is most needed. The book begins with a system of history taking followed by chapters covering clinical examination and diagnosis. Each stage of the examination starts with a detailed step-by-step description of the examination method complemented by relevant illustrations, diagrams and tables. This book was written keeping in mind the problems faced in clinics by undergraduate and postgraduate students regarding history taking, clinical examination, diagnosis and treatment planning as no book is available in the market focusing specifically on these topics.
