Good reference

This is a good reference book for those NOT specializing in treatment of oral and facial pathologies. I strongly recommend another book called Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology: A Rationale for Dioagnosis and Treatment by Marx and Stern because it is replete with excellent photographs, illustrations, and discusses a disease from its pathogenesis to treatment phase thoroughly. (I own this book as well as the one I recommended.)

The best oral pathology that I seen

Compare with other oral pathology book, this one give a comprehensive information of different kind of pathology such as etiology, definition of each disease, clinical and radiographic findings and treatment. Excallent pictures make you easily got the ideal of that book.
