Oral Pathology as part of the Head and Neck Pathology is an
interdisciplinary field of science. The oral mucosa and the saliva
are reflectors of many systemic diseases of the organism and
therefore valuable parameters of the diagnosis and prognosis of
pathological processes. In the last years many new methods have
been integrated in the diagnostic repertoire. Proliferation markers
are of predicitive value and characterize the biological behavior
of a tumor. Markers are such as oncogenes, growth factor receptors
or genetic aberrations. The importance of these new markers shall
be discussed concerning the different types of oral cancers and
salivary gland tumours.
This book is a complete guide to oral diseases common in tropical
environments. Divided into five main sections, the book begins with
an overview of the epidemiology of health and disease in the
tropics, followed by anthropological and environmental factors
affecting oral health in these regions. The following section
discusses the diagnosis and management of both infectious and
non-infectious tropical diseases, including bacterial infections
and their causes, and disorders due to poor nutrition, anaemia, and
bleeding and endocrine problems. Section four covers oral and
salivary gland neoplasms and the final chapters describe numerous
other oral and dental diseases in the tropics. An appendices
section provides advice to travellers visiting tropical regions and
normal reference values for practitioners. Edited by an
internationally recognised team of experts, predominantly from
Australia, this comprehensive text is highly illustrated with more
than 500 clinical images, diagrams and tables. Key Points
