Children and adolescents are affected by a large range
of diseases with oral manifestations that may not be seen in adults. Such
diseases include viral and bacterial infections, but many other conditions
as well, for example, after swallowing caustic liquids. As with the author's
immensely successful Color Atlas of Oral Diseases, this new work is lavishly
illustrated with high-quality color photographs, providing the reader with
an at-a-glance diagnostic guide. Succinct texts in tabular form complement
the images to help the reader formulate a differential diagnosis and a
treatment plan.
