Written for the oral and maxillofacial surgeon and other dental and medical specialists who deal with pathologies in the oral cavity, midface, and neck, this clinically oriented book addresses the underlying mechanism of each disease and how that dictates its clinical and radiographic presentation; the process of determining a differential diagnosis for each disease or condition; specific treatment recommendations that the authors use or have researched as the most beneficial; and the prognosis after treatment. A specific aim of this book is to challenge many long-held concepts that are no longer valid, but that nevertheless have been passed down to succeeding generations of dental and medical school students. Another aim is to eliminate illogical and confusing terminology that only reinforces misconceptions about the underlying cause of specific diseases. Above all, the authors seek to increase the knowledge and understanding of oral and maxillofacial surgeons and others entrusted with the care of these patients.

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.
