Preface
This Atlas is intended for use by all dental and medical professionals who are involved in the diagnosis and treatment of lesions and disorders of the oral mucosa and the jaw bones. The choice has been made to prepare a concise, science-based but practice-oriented, text. This approach has always been well received during numerous continuing education courses presented worldwide for dentists, dental hygienists, physicians, and specialists, such as oral and maxillofacial surgeons, dermatologists, otolaryngologists, and pathologists. The introductory chapter will deal with the intraoral examination, the referral procedure, and the biopsy. It is perhaps tempting for the reader to skip such introductory chapter, but I wholeheartedly recommend to read it. A general chapter on diseases of the oral mucosa will be followed by four additional chapters of diseases that occur mainly or exclusively on the lips, the tongue, the gingiva and alveolar mucosa, and the palate, respectively. The final chapter on diseases of the jaw bones discusses the various osseous diseases, as well as odontogenic cysts and tumors and generalized diseases that may affect the jaw bones. A sincere word of thanks is due to the publisher Springer Verlag for the way in which it committed to produce an Atlas as fine as this one. Ams
