"Oral Medicine and Pathology at a Glance" By Crispian Scully, Oslei Paes de Almeida, Jose Bagan, Pedro Diz Dios, Adalberto Mosqueda Taylor! A fairy tale book!

Oral Medicine and Pathology At A Glance is the latest title in the highly popular at a Glance series. It provides a concise and accessible introduction and revision aid. Following the familiar, easy-to-use at a Glance format, each topic is presented as a double-page spread with key facts accompanied by clear diagrams, clinical photographs, and useful quick-reference tables, encapsulating essential information.

Systematically organized and succinctly delivered, Oral Medicine and Pathology At A Glance covers:

• The most important conditions, by frequency and severity, in oral medicine and pathology
• Commonly encountered oral lesions and pathologies
• Oral manifestations of common systemic diseases
• Differential diagnosis
• Clinical management of these conditions

Oral Medicine and Pathology At A Glance is the ideal companion for all students of dentistry and recently qualified clinicians. In addition, through its focus on oral health care provision in general practice, the text will provide valuable insight for general dental practitioners wanting to update their knowledge of oral medicine and pathology, dental nurses, hygienists and therapists.

Illustrated Physiology! A medical book reviewed after such a long time!

The 6th edition of this book continues its excellent tradition. It is clear, concise and readable. What makes this book (and others from the series such as Pathology Illustrated) so excellent is that they can actually be read cover to cover in a short period of time. The value of this book to the student or teacher of physiology cannot be overstated.

SaralDent ! A nice Dental Practice Management Software ! Reviewed

Have not personally used this software!

But going by the company's website, it seems to be a good bet!

I would strongly recommend this software for its simplicity.

Unlike Dentimax and other softwares, they lack something called ATTRACTION!

I would still say, it is good and worth having

Connecting Tooth and Implant in Certain Cases - Is it an acceptable treatment? Heres a literature !

When I was taught implants, my professors shunned me from connecting Implants to natural teeth.

However, is this marriage possible? Certain authors say yes and some say nay.

Is there literature available on this? Very few

They say such connection can drastically affect the implant success or rather can cause intrusion of the natural teeth.

How about precision attachments for this purpose when u don have any other options?

Heres an article from Oral and Maxillofacial implants 2010 current issue which i thought would be worth sharing!

Download and get enlightened!

I would also love to see expert opinion on this controversy! Inviting Perio, Prostho and Implant Practitioners!
