Saliva Protection and Transmissible Diseases provides a review of saliva protection, raising debate on micro-organisms potentially transmissible in saliva, and also considering the evidence on diseases that may be transmitted by kissing. Saliva is a complex body fluid essential to health, especially mastication, swallowing and speech, and hyposalivation can lead to dysfunction and even infection. More serious pathogens, such as herpes viruses and papillomaviruses can be conveyed by kissing, as can potentially lethal micro-organisms present in some saliva, such as meningococci, fungal organisms and Ebola viruses.Stipulates the defensive roles of saliva, an important topic not previously reviewed in-depth in literatureProvides awareness that saliva also transmits infectious agents that can produce serious or even lethal diseasesGives understanding that kissing may be an at-risk practice

This practical handbook has been developed to assimilate a large amount of useful information into a readily accessible format. Covering both oral medicine and oral surgery, it provides clear and concise details of drugs, dosages and drug interactions. A successor to Professor Scully's Patient Care published by BDJ in 1989, and written to complement the very successful Oxford Handbook of Clinical Dentistry, this book will be to use to dentistry undergraduates in their clinical yeard and to postgraduate trainees and practicioners, espeially thos in hospital dentistry.

Lesions affecting the face and mouth are of great diagnostic value providing important information to the clinician. In addition to the oral diseases which have oral symptoms, many systemic diseases have oral manifestations, and the patient may turn to either the dental or medical practitioner. Many examinations, including the BDS and postgraduate qualifications in medicine and dentistry (MRCP, contain a section on slide interpretation to measure the student's ability to manage clinical problems in an examination format. This book contains over 100 slide interpretation questions, divided into two sections. The first section covers lesions by location and the second, lesions by presentation. This book is ideal for students to test their knowledge of oral diseases and the oral manifestations of systemic disease. The questions are graded into three levels of difficulty and there are answers and accompanying explanatory notes at the end of each chapter. In full colour, the pictures range from the common to the more exotic, to test the basic level of knowledge required and to help revision, and to expand the student's awareness and encourage self-directed learning.

This pocket guide bridges the gap between dental and medical knowledge. It provides practical information for the dental professional on how to take a full medical history, examine the patient, perform the appropriate investigations, appreciate the patient's medical problems and their implications on dental management, and treat their patients in a safe and effective way.This edition includes new material on the management of emergencies, patients with bleeding tendencies, cardiac problems, diabetes, and infections.

Oral Medicine (Colour Guide)

Cawson, R. A.

Viruses and viral infections are of increasing importance in oral medicine and dentistry, whether through association with particular orofacial diseases, particularly in immunocompromised patients, or in terms of cross-infection. Clinical practice, however, has frequently failed to adapt to the major advances in recent years in the understanding of the molecular biology, diagnosis, prevention and treatment of viral infections. This highly illustrated reference text bridges the gap between the research laboratory and the clinic. It provides a foundation for the understanding of relevant virology by the student or graduate in dentistry and the dental sciences. Following an overview of basic human virology, including immunology and molecular biology, the clinical aspects of viral infections are considered with particular reference to oral lesions. For each virus, the clinical features, diagnosis, management and potential for cross-infection are discussed. The final section of the book covers orofacial diseases for which there is only a tentative viral aetiology. A comprehensive bibliography is integrated with the text for ease of reference. This book is therefore an essential text for undergraduate and postgraduate dental students. It will also serve practitioners and research workers in oral virology and immunology, as a comprehensive and up-to-date source of information and ideas relating to virology in dental practice.
