---

This book covers the biological mechanisms involved in disease processes, and has been written for dental students studying general or systemic pathology. The text is succinct, readable and very well illustrated with full colour daiagrams and photographs. Many pathological processes are the same wherever they occur in the body, and pathology is a subject that underpins a great deal of medicine. It follows that a grounding in pathology is an essential part of training to be a dentist. The text is divided into two parts, in line with the undergraduate pathology course: the general section covers cell pathology, inflammation, immunology and neoplasma, and the systemic section focuses on major organ systems. Written in a readable and concise style by an author with vast experience of teaching and examining students, the book provides summaries of the most salient points of each chapter for easy reference and recall. Pathology in Dentistry will be of great value to dental students who need to understand the relevance of pathology to their course.
This book is intended for undergraduate dental students; Postgraduate dental students and vocational trainees; oral pathologists and general pathologists.
