Report

"Dr Malamos has advanced the publication ethos of Professor Scully in his creation of an excellent text book that demonstrates the breadth of 21st century Oral Medicine practice. The use of case studies that include questions with detailed answers, excellent images and helpful tables and figures the key aspects of the diagnosis and management of common, and many uncommon, disorders are extremely well described. This, together with the electronic format ensures that this book will not only inform readers but allow them to move seamlessly within and across different sections. I believe this textbook is an important to present and future practitioners of Oral Medicine."
