The book contains predominantly color illustrations, with some black-and-white illustrations.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 diagnsotic guide. Succinct text in tabular form complements the images to help the reader formulate a differential diagnosis and a treatment plan. This atlas is an examination of oral diseases in pediatric patients using pictorial material with brief written summaries. The purpose is to provide a resource for overcoming the diagnostic difficulties that pediatric oral diseases pose for practitioners. Considering that many specialists (dentists, dermatologists, pediatric oncologists, etc.) diagnose and treat oral diseases, this is a worthy objective that has been effectively met. The author has written this book as a reference for practitioners. It is also a great teaching tool for students or residents in dentistry and medicine. The author has an international reputation as a prolific writer and as a clinician with a special interest in oral disease. Photographs are combined with clinical, diagnostic, and therapeutic information in outline form. The material is presented in three major sections: local diseases, systemic disorders affecting the oral cavity, and tumors. The excellent print quality of 495 illustrations is the best feature. By combining first-rate photographs with brief synopses of oral diseases in children and adolescents, with this book the author accomplishes what every atlas author should: provide a wealth of information and in a comprehensive yet easy to use reference for students and practitioners alike.
