Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology: A Rationale for Diagnosis and Treatment, 2 Volume Set, 2nd Edition

This award-winning clinical text covers the vast array of conditions that oral and maxillofacial surgeons need to be prepared to identify and treat, ranging from common reactive disorders to carcinoma to rare salivary gland neoplasms to malignancies of bone. In addition to its clinical presentation, each disease entity includes its pathogenesis, differential diagnosis, diagnostic work-up, histopathology, treatment, and prognosis, offering the reader the complete context necessary for understanding and managing it. This updated two-volume edition includes several new disease entities, the latest information on recognizing and treating previously described conditions, and new clinical images and cases that better portray the clinical presentation and/or treatment of specific diseases. Significant additions include the section on bisphosphonate-induced osteonecrosis of the jaws (BIONJ), which includes over 50 new images and outlines the complete staging and treatment for both oral and intravenous BIONJ, and the incorporation of new reconstructive techniques using recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein, stem cell concentrates, and tissue-engineering principles where appropriate. An essential reference for any oral and maxillofacial surgeon or resident. Contents 1. Biopsy Principles and Techniques 2. Inflammatory and Reactive Diseases of the Oral and Maxillofacial Region 3.

The Names We Associate with Diseases, Syndromes, and Anatomy: Who Were They? "Since the first edition was published in 2003, this award-winning clinical text has become an indispensable resource for practicing oral and maxillofacial surgeons and pathologists, residents-in-training, and allied specialists in medicine and dentistry. Featuring over 500 new images (2,700 total), several new disease entities, the latest reconstructive techniques using recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein, stem cell concentrates, and tissue-engineering principles in oral and maxillofacial surgery, this updated two-volume edition is sure to improve upon the reputation of the first edition. Ranging from common reactive diseases to carcinoma to rare salivary gland neoplasms to malignancies of bone, the vast array of conditions that oral and maxillofacial surgeons need to be prepared to identify and treat are thoroughly covered in this text, with the authors addressing the underlying mechanism of each disease and how that dictates its clinical and radiographic presentation, its differential diagnosis, specific treatment recommendations, and the prognosis after treatment. Following in the tradition of the first edition, the authors once again seek to challenge long-held but invalid concepts that lead to confusion and misdiagnosis, hoping to raise the standard of care in oral and maxillofacial surgeons and others entrusted with the care of these patients" -- Back cover Biopsy Principles And Techniques -- Inflammatory And Reactive Diseases Of The Oral And Maxillofacial Region -- Infectious Diseases Of The Oral And Maxillofacial Region -- Immune-based Diseases -- Conditions Of Developmental Disturbances -- Hyperplasias, Hamartomas, And Neoplasms : Their Biology And Its Impact On Treatment Decisions -- Benign Epithelial Tumors Of Mucosa And Skin -- Premalignant And Malignant Epithelial Tumors Of Mucosa And Skin -- Management Of Irradiated Patients And Osteoradionecrosis -- Benign Soft Tissue Tumors Of Mesenchymal Origin -- Malignant Soft Tissue Tumors Of Mesenchymal Origin -- Non-neoplastic Salivary Gland Diseases -- Salivary Gland Neoplasms -- Odontogenic And Nonodontogenic Cysts -- Odontogenic Tumors -- Pigmented Lesions Of Mucosa And Skin -- Fibro-osseous Diseases And Systemic Diseases Affecting Bone -- Benign Neoplasms Of Bone -- Malignant Neoplasms Of Bone -- Neoplasms Of The Immune System -- Where Have All The Great Terms Gone? -- Who Were They?
