Diagnosis Of Lesions Of The Oral Mucous Membrane

In this issue, guest editors bring their considerable expertise to this important topic. Contains 11 practice-oriented topics including fungal lesions of the oral mucosa; bacterial lesions of the oral mucosa; oral lesions associated with systemic disease; autoimmune lesions of the oral mucosa; pigmented lesions of the oral cavity; and more. Provides in-depth clinical reviews on diagnosis and management of oral mucosal lesions, offering actionable insights for clinical practice. Presents the latest information on this timely, focused topic under the leadership of experienced editors in the field. Authors synthesize and distill the latest research and practice guidelines to create clinically significant, topic-based reviews.

Mucocutaneous Lesions in Dentistry is a concise resource to assist dentists in identifying, diagnosing and treating a range of mucocutaneous lesions. Diseases and syndromes covered include hypersensitivity, CREST syndrome, psoriasis, pemphigus, Darier’s disease, white sponge nevus and Peutz-Jeghers syndrome. Mucocutaneous Lesions in Dentistry is enhanced by 163 images, illustrations and information tables, making it an ideal reference book for students and practising dentists.

This quick, versatile reference pairs photographs of nearly 200 lesions that are clinically similar but diagnostically distinct. Bulleted lists describe the distinguishing features. Allows the clinician to classify lesions according to a primary symptom and then, with more specific symptoms, progress toward the correct diagnosis.

This handbook has the goal of providing a short and objective approach to the diagnosis and management of common oral lesions and conditions likely to be encountered in the daily practice of dentistry by the general practitioner. Each of the lesions/conditions will be grouped based on their nature, inflammatory or infectious, benign or malignant, variants of normal, bony lesions, etc. The individual lesion/condition will be described based on common clinical signs and symptoms, differential diagnosis, best approach for diagnostic confirmation, and brief management strategy. One of the chapters is dedicated to oral hygiene and oral health maintenance recommendations. Diagnosis and Management of Oral Lesions and Conditions: A Resource Handbook for the Clinician has been produced and distributed through an educational grant from the Colgate-Palmolive Company.

Ultrasound in Liquid and Solid Metals focuses on the effect of intensive ultrasound on metals, including the analysis of the development of cavitation and acoustic flows in melts, mechanism of metals' spraying and crystallization, the formation of dislocation structure in crystals, diffusion, phase transformation, and plastic deformation. Physical fundamentals of intensive ultrasound effects are covered, and detailed discussions are presented on the engineering principles of equipment and material design for the practical use of ultrasound in the refining of melts, crystallization of ingots and molds, pulverization, plating, pressure working of metals, surface strengthening, and other processes.
