I am a general dentist and an Academic Fellow in the American
Academy of Oral Medicine based in the USA. A few weeks ago I was
looking for 'new' textbooks on oral medicine. (It is somewhat of an
addiction.) This one looked interesting, so I ordered a copy. I
want you to know that I have found this to be the most useful
textbook I have ever purchased on this subject. I love the way the
material is arranged. It is up to date, easy to read, and gives
just the right amount of information for a quick review. J. David
Fisher, Jr. DDS One of the most prolific authors in his field,
Professor Scully has revised and expanded the first edition of his
prize-winning textbook. The intended outcomes for readers are
clearly stated and range from systematic history taking to medical
management, as well as recognising the importance of liaison with
clinical colleagues in other disciplines. This is an excellent
reference book and guide to diagnosis and management in oral
medicine. I recommend it to undergraduates and postgraduates, both
medical and dental, with an interest in this field. Gill Smith,
Consultant in Oral Medicine, Glasgow Dental Hospital, UK, Oral
Oncology 45, January 2009 It is easy to understand why the first
edition of this book was the recipient of the First Prize of the
Royal Society of Medicine (RSM) and Society of Authors for a new
authored book. If the RSM has a prize for second editions, Oral and
Maxillofacial Medicine is likely to take that honor as well. Unlike
some books in this space, this does not deal with the dental
management of medically compromised patients. Rather, it focuses in
a most informative, comprehensive, organised and readable format on
the assessment and treatment of the signs and symptoms of diseases
of the mouth and its contiguous structures. While parts of the
sectional organisation are traditional, some aspects are unique.
For example, the first three chapters deal with three elements of
diagnosis - history, examination and investigations. These are
presented in a such a way to be comfortably comprehensible to the
neophyte, but specific and not superficial thereby providing an
excellent review for the seasoned clinician. The writing is
succinct with no wasted spaces or words.....the book is appropriate
to a broad audience. For students, it provides the principals of
oral diagnosis from fundamentals such as history taking and tooth
numbering to specific treatment recommendations being arranged in a
rational hierarchy. House staff will find sections of the
investigative chapter helpful when deciding what type of imaging
study to order and to how best to evaluate facial pain.
Practitioners will use this book as a resource and a reference, but
the format, figures and text are so compelling that I would not be
surprised if portions of the book were not read during downtime
between patients. Professor Scully has contributed substantially to
the dental literature. This book is certainly one of his best.
Stephen Sonis, Harvard School of Dental Medicine, Boston, MA
"The author is a world authority on his subject and his enthusiasm
and skill in presenting complex issues is clearly is supported by
the elegant and vital layout of the whole publication. I'm
delighted to have a copy of this book in my own library."
BMA Book Awards 2009 - judges comments
"When Professor Scully is the author of a textbook, then
expectations are immediately very high. This book fulfills those
expectations completely. The clarity of the writing runs
throughout. Early in the text, the 13 intended outcomes of the book
are stated. These aims for the reader include systemic
history-taking, diagnostic methods, identification of lesions, the
need to refer or not to refer, and the importance of working with
colleagues in other disciplines. Initially, this may seem a
daunting list for the student but due to the accessibility of the
subjects, all of the aims can be achieved with less effort than
would be the case with many textbooks... This is an exceptionally
accomplished textbook, and is highly recommended."
Primary Dental Care, January 2010
"This is a fantastic and beautifully progressive book...The
brilliance of this book for me is its accessibility. There are now
clearly delineated 'learning aims and objectives' alongside the
original 'intended learning outcomes'. These help those using this
publication as a textbook...This publication gives a unique insight
into the wonderful mind of its author. It is the product of
Professor Crispian Scully's many years of clinical and teaching
experience, in the vast and varied field of oral and maxillofacial
medicine."
