This atlas represents a pictorial review of the many conditions affecting directly or indirectly, the teeth and orofacial tissues of children. The atlas includes common disorders as well as rare but important diseases requiring immediate recognition and treatment, and uses illustrations to demonstrate conditions peculiar to children and to highlight presenting signs which differ in children in comparison with adults.

Children and adolescents are affected by a large range of diseases with oral manifestations that may not be seen in adults. Such diseases include viral and bacterial infections, but many other conditions as well, for example, after swallowing caustic liquids. As with the author's immensely successful Color Atlas of Oral Diseases, this new work is lavishly illustrated with high-quality color photographs, providing the reader with an at-a-glance diagnostic guide. Succinct texts in tabular form complement the images to help the reader formulate a differential diagnosis and a treatment plan.
