Patologia orale

This title was highly commended at BMA Medical Book Competition 2009. "Orofacial Pain and Headache" is a timely, comprehensive and instructive addition to the pain literature; in particular the important and truly multidisciplinary area of orofacial pain. Based on their extensive clinical experience and a thorough understanding of pain mechanisms specific to the trigeminal system, the editors, Yair Sharav and Rafael Benoliel, have integrated knowledge from the areas of headache and orofacial pain and have succinctly explained common mechanisms involved in the two phenomena, with important implications for pain diagnosis and management. This book is an invaluable and unique resource for dental practitioners - both qualified and in training - and pain specialists from all fields, and for basic and clinical pain scientists who are interested in an up-to-date and comprehensive review of the diagnostic and management issues in the field of orofacial pain.

La patologia e la medicina orale sono branche strettamente interconnesse dell’odontoiatria che studiano gli aspetti clinici, anatomo-patologici e terapeutici delle malattie che colpiscono la cavità orale. La conoscenza di queste malattie è indispensabile non soltanto per l’odontoiatra, ma anche per il medico generale, l’otorinolaringoiatra, l’internista, l’anatomopatologo e il dermatologo.Tali patologie presentano una grande variabilità negli aspetti clinici e istopatologici, che rende spesso la loro diagnosi difficoltosa.L’ininterrotto successo delle due precedenti edizioni del Manuale di Patologia e Medicina Orale ha indotto l’Autore e l’Editore a proporre una terza edizione rinnovata e aggiornata. Tutti i capitoli sono stati profondamente rivisti in base alle più recenti acquisizioni in tema di eziopatogenesi, inquadramento nosologico e innovazioni diagnostiche e terapeutiche.L’iconografia è stata arricchita, ma soprattutto - importante novità - trasformata a colori in tutto il testo, con il criterio di selezionare le immagini di particolare efficacia e più significative dal punto di vista didattico.Tutta la bibliografia è stata ampliata e aggiornata fino alle più recenti e rilevanti pubblicazioni.Restano comunque immutate le peculiarità del testo che ne hanno sancito la fortuna editoriale: l’attenzione privilegiata alla diagnosi differenziale e alle variazioni della presentazione clinica e istopatologica delle singole malattie e la struttura completa ma agile, che ne fanno un testo rivolto in primo luogo agli studenti di odontoiatria e medicina che si accostano per la prima volta allo studio delle malattie orali, ma anche uno strumento di indispensabile consultazione per tutti gli specialisti di altre discipline mediche che desiderino approfondire gli aspetti diagnostici e terapeutici di queste affezioni.
