Medicine and Surgery for Dentistry (Colour Guide)
Synopsis
The General Dental Council Recommendations
concerning the dental curriculum indicate that dental students
should be able to understand human disease as far as is relevant to
the practice of dentistry. Indeed, modern dental practice has an
increasingly important basis in medicine and surgery, particularly
with the rising elderly population and numbers of patients suffering
various systemic disorders which as the immunological diseases. In
addition, the increasing complexity of operative dental, oral and
maxillofacial surgery, and oral medicine and pathology warrants a
substantial knowledge of medical matters. This work is intended to
help trainees of all dental specialities, postgraduates and
practitioners. It also aims to provide the readers with an awareness
of the major clinical features of common medical and surgical
disorders, of the extraoral features of disorders with prominent
oral features, and of those disorders that influence features of
disorders with prominent oral features, and of those disorders that
influence dental management.
