Synopses & Reviews
Oral Medicine by William Tyldesley has been used for undergraduate courses all over the world.
In this fourth edition, the material has been gathered into a larger format and colour photographs have been used extensively for the first time in an attractive new design. Although the general outline has been maintained from previous editions, all the material has been thoroughly updated with new sections added on salivary gland diseaes and psychogenic orofacial problems.
This new edition continues to accurately reflect current ideas and attitudes in a rapidly developing subject.
