This is the seventh edition of a highly successful book on oral pathology and oral medicine for dental students and postgraduates taking further dental exams such as the FDS. Radical changes were introduced when the sixth edition was published in 1998, the most important of which were the restriction of the content to oral pathology and oral medicine from its former broader coverage, and the introduction of colour illustrations. A major change to the seventh edition will be that colour illustrations will be spread throughout the book.
