Book Description

Dental students study general and systemic pathology in the first and second years of their course, often in company with medical students. The books they tend to be recommended are those used by the medical students, but these are often too detailed and lacking in examples relevant to clinical dentistry. This is a textbook of general and systemic pathology which is of an appropriate length and dental relevance for this group of students. It is also adapted to the new curricula and methods of teaching.
