Clinical Guide to Pediatric Oral Pathology

Description

The diseases originating or arising from pathological anatomical or functional alterations in the mouth's structures in children are the focus of this book. Several intraoral lesions often found in young children need to be accurately diagnosed, treated or reassured, and sometimes referred for a dental assessment. Parents also frequently worry about "lumps and bumps" in their children's mouths. Pediatricians should be able to differentiate between gingivitis, periodontal abnormalities, and oral diseases, as well as the typical clinical appearance of the intraoral tissues in children. Early primary tooth movement or early primary tooth loss requires immediate attention since these dental abnormalities might point to a severe underlying medical condition. Numerous frequently occurring oral problems are examined with diagnostic standards and suggested courses of action. This book provides professional dental surgeons with in-depth information on the oral diseases encountered in children and specific treatment techniques to maintain children's oral hygiene. It is also intended for undergraduate and graduate students.
