Handbook of Oral Medicine

This book aims to present the relationships between oral and systemic diseases to dental and medical students and clinicians.

Many diseases, as well as some medical treatments, have oral manifestations that may reflect the patient’s general health status.

The dentist must be particularly skilled and trained to diagnose and treat  oral conditions.

Dentists should take into account the medical risk when side effects may occur during or after dental treatment.

The collaboration  between the dentist and the physician and their sharing information are essential for the patient’s oral and medical health and coordinated care.
