Adolescents
From The Critics |

Christopher J. Morin
This atlas is an examination of oral diseases in pediatric patients using
pictorial material with brief written summaries. The purpose is to provide a
resource for overcoming the diagnostic difficulties that pediatric oral
diseases pose for practitioners. Considering that many specialists
(dentists, dermatologists, pediatric oncologists, etc.) diagnose and treat
oral diseases, this is a worthy objective that has been effectively met. The
author has written this book as a reference for practitioners. It is also a
great teaching tool for students or residents in dentistry and medicine. The
author has an international reputation as a prolific writer and as a
clinician with a special interest in oral disease. Photographs are combined
with clinical, diagnostic, and therapeutic information in outline form. The
material is presented in three major sections: local diseases, systemic
disorders affecting the oral cavity, and tumors. The excellent print quality
of 495 illustrations is the best feature. By combining first-rate
photographs with brief synopses of oral diseases in children and
adolescents, with this book the author accomplishes what every atlas author
should: provide a wealth of information and in a comprehensive yet easy to
use reference for students and practitioners alike.
