This book is based largely upon a series of articles which
originally appeared in Update. The purpose of the series was to
give medical practitioners an insight into dental and oral disease.
The diagnosis of oral disease is not a subject which receives
particular emphasis in most medical curricula and it is almost com
pletely absent from many. Postgraduate courses in this field are
not generally available to medical practitioners. The prevention
and early detection of dental and oral disease can be a very
positive contribution to the health of our patients. The dental
profession sees only about half the population on a regular basis,
though it has been shown that over 99 per cent of the population
will suffer from oral disease at some time. This places the burden
of responsibility on the shoulders of the medical practitioner.
There are many diseases which originate in and are peculiar to the
oral cavity. Many systemic diseases have their early visible
manifestations in this area. The early detection and identification
of disease and deformity of the oral cavity is an important part of
diagnosis in the field of general medicine. The book is designed to
present basic knowledge about the diseases found in the mouth,
which will aid in their early recognition, prompt referral and
treatment."
