Fantastic!
Utterly indispensible.

A summary of all aspects of oral med and path, both hard tissue and soft tissue. Its catagorized by type of pathology, and subdivided from that into specific lesions. There's a lot of information on the commoner conditions, although the rarer ones are worth only one sparse paragraph.

Well illustrated with lots of good pictures of pathologies. The section on cysts (which are, after all, the things most likely to come up in exams) is particularly good.

Very useful are the summary tables which list all possible causes of red patches/white patches/radiolucencies/whatever and their distinguishing features. They're easy to understand, memorize and regurgitate in exams.

This passed me finals.

Oral med made easy!
This book is great for revision!

There are lots of pictures and histological slides, and is not loaded with text making it easier to read. There are summary boxes and flow diagrams. It also has information about 'normal' dental conditions such as caries and periodontitis and a section on medical emergencies.

I don't know how I'd pass without this book!

The perfect book for oral medicine
Being a fourth year dental student, this book has provided alot of information for oral medicine.

Alot of my lecturers use this book in their handouts, so when you read those handouts you know where to look afterwards. It has nice diagrams which are easy to understand and make your studying a bit less stressful.

What I also enjoyed in this book, is that it doesn't stick just to oral medicine, but it also takes you a step further giving you information concerning not only dental but medically relevant information as well.
