Patients with oral mucosal diseases typically consult a dermatologist, family doctor or dentist, but these groups are often unfamiliar with acute and chronic mucosal disorders and lesions within the oral cavity.

This book aims to help all specialists by providing:


an introductory guide to oral anatomical features
an outline of investigations and procedures appropriate for oral dermatology
a differential diagnosis guide based on morphology and location
a detailed assessment of all common oral mucosal conditions, using a consistent presentation including definition, aetiology, clinical features, investigations, treatment options, prevention strategies and prognosis
hundreds of full colour clinical photographs to accompany the descriptions.


The book provides an easy to access guide that helps readers quickly find the information needed to confidently assess symptoms and signs of lesions within and around the mouth. It is targeted at practising dermatologists and dermatologists in training, but will also appeal to otolaryngologists, dental practitioners, pharmacists, and dental nurses.
