- BookMichael A.O. Lewis, Philip-John Lamey.Summary: This book is an up-to-date guide to the diagnosis and management of the oral and orofacial conditions that may be encountered by dentists in primary care. Now in its fourth edition, the book has been completely restructured to provide a clinical signs and symptoms approach to disease that will enhance the ability of clinicians to establish the correct diagnosis. This is achieved by the lavish use of high-quality color clinical illustrations that cover the full spectrum of conditions seen most frequently in the dental surgery. In addition, contemporary information on patient management is presented in a clear and reader-friendly style. The book provides the clinician with an extremely useful tool for clinical diagnosis and delivery of the highest quality patient care. The contents are of direct relevance to all members of the dental team, not only in general practice but also in specialist settings.

Prescribing in Oral Medicine. - ArticleBattersby C.Aust N Z J Surg. 1977 Dec;47(6):810-5.The incidence of breast cancer in Australia is as high as in most parts of the world. The usual presentation is with a breast lump. Invasive and preinvasive malignant changes may be identified in both duct and lobular epithelia. There are clinical features of malignancy, but histological proof is necessary. Aspiration of cysts and reexamination of clinically benign lumps are acceptable in certain circumstances, but a tissue diagnosis should be made by needle or open biopsy. Earlier diagnosis is possible by radiological screening of asymptomatic patients, but the cost is high. Total excision of the breast (simple mastectomy) is the minimum treatment advisable for infiltrating cancer; If there is a high chance that the draining lymph nodes will contain tumor, they should be treated by surgical excision or radiotherapy. Early chemotherapy does reduce the incidence of systemic metastases after mastectomy, but its precise place in management is not yet clear. The social impact of mastectomy is considerable and deserves more attention than has been paid to it in the past. Clinical trials of treatment should continue, as they are beginning to answer some fundamental questions.
