<p>"This book allows the reader to learn about oral medicine in a novel way. It uses simple clinical photographs to guide students, general practitioners and oral medicine experts toward the correct diagnosis. Several pathologies are introduced through brief descriptions, often accompanied by tables. The in-depth analysis is followed by multiple-choice questions along with their answers and explanations. The questions are organised into three difficulty levels that target students, general practitioners and oral medicine experts, respectively. Furthermore, oral pathologies are presented using three parameters: symptoms and clinical appearance, location and normal variations, to guide the reader through the diagnostic process."<br /><b>- Andrea Sardell, University of Milan, Italy. Published in <i>Oral Diseases </i>(May 23) </b><br /><br />"The book contains an astoundingly rich collection of clinical cases covering virtually every oral disease, 230 to be exact, each mapped to a detailed history and description of examination/laboratory findings, along with excellent clinical or radiographic images. The unique aspect of this book is the learning process for the reader because each case is mapped to three multiple choice questions which allows the reader to consider important facets of each case, such as identifying important features of the pathogenesis of a disease, formulating a differential diagnosis, or selecting an appropriate treatment ...This book has depth and academic rigour and I applaud the clinical expertise demonstrated throughout."<br />—<b>A. Ross Kerr DDS, MSD, Diplomate, American Board of Oral Medicine, Clinical Professor, New York University College of Dentistry, USA</b></p> <p>"Dr Malamos has advanced the publication ethos of Professor Scully in his creation of an excellent text book that demonstrates the breadth of 21st century Oral Medicine practice. The use of case studies that include questions with detailed answers, excellent images and helpful tables and figures the key aspects of the diagnosis and management of common, and many uncommon, disorders are extremely well described. This, together with the electronic format ensures that this book will not only inform readers but allow them to move seamlessly within and across different sections. I believe this textbook is an important to present and future practitioners of Oral Medicine."<br />—<b>Professor Stephen Porter, Institute Director, UCL Eastman Dental Institute, UK</b></p> <p>"<i>Clinical Guide to Oral Diseases</i> is an intelligently designed book with just over 400 pages of text supported by almost 300 high quality colour images. It utilizes a case-based learning approach to provide the reader with a comprehensive approach to the clinicalassessment scenario.</p> <p>The text contains relevant contemporary material, which provides the student or interested clinician with the necessary variety of  clinical scenarios to contextualize their knowledge and most importantly, support the transfer of this approachinto the clinical arena. The material will be of use to a wide variety of clinicians involved in the delivery of clinical dentistry, from students (both undergraduate and postgraduate), to trainees at MFDS level and then forthose looking to gain specialist qualifications. It would even provide a very appealing format for general medical practitioners and other non-oral based clinicians.</p> <p><i>Clinical Guide to Oral Diseases</i> is to be recommended because the depth and clarity of detail provided reminds us all of the legacy left by one of the authors, Crispian Scully, who despite his passing leaves behind a body of knowledge few are ever likely to match."<br />—<b>Professor StJohn Crean, Pro Vice Chancellor, University of Central Lancashire, Preston</b></p>
