The mouth and lips –
a mirror to the patient’s internal condition...

Changes in the oral mucosa and lips often provide the earliest important diagnostic signs of general systemic illness. Many immune disorders and certain skin conditions also manifest in this region with characteristic symptoms that are distinct from typical disorders of the oral mucosa.

Therefore, a good foundation in this area is helpful not just to dermatologists, ENT physicians, and dentists, but to internists and general practitioners as well. The proven combination of atlas and handbook, now in a third edition, provides optimal conditions for building your knowledge.

All symptoms and disorders of the oral mucosa and perioral region are described in comprehensive detail, with all clinically relevant aspects included. Hundreds of new characteristic photos provide outstanding illustrations, giving the reader a complete overview of physiological relationships, variations to the norm and pathological changes and making this volume an indispensable aid to starting the right diagnostic and therapeutic measures for a specific problem.
