An impressive and noteworthy contribution to the field of oral diagnostics, particularly oral pathology, delivering an insightful exploration of the pathological processes underlying orofacial disorders. It succeeds in bridging the often wide gap between foundational biomedical science and clinical application, rendering it a critical resource for students, educators, and dental practitioners alike.
- S. M. Balaji Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Balaji Dental and Craniofacial Hospital, India.  Review published in Indian Journal of Dental Research (May 25)

Scientific advances are presented in a clear and understandable way that the reader would find it easy to grasp rather than having to grapple through journals or very extensive published literature... For dentists looking to study fundamental aspects of oral and maxillofacial diseases, the textbook is a valuable resource. I highly recommend this book to the target readership and to university libraries.
-Saman Warnakulasuriya, Emeritus Professor, King's College London, UK. Review published in British Dental Journal (May 25)

A comprehensive guide for integrating pathology into a clinical setting.

Pathological Basis of Oral and Maxillofacial Diseases presents the basic principles involved in disease mechanisms in an easy-to-understand way. By integrating recent advances in molecular, immunologic, and genetic understanding of oral disease, the book helps readers enhance their knowledge and its application in a clinical setting.

This book is divided into nine sections, covering key topics such as inflammation, genetic diseases, and neoplasia, with contributions from over 50 international authors. Diagrams, clinical, radiographic, and histopathology images and tables supplement the text, and the editors have ensured a consistent approach throughout.

Topics covered in Pathological Basis of Oral and Maxillofacial Diseases include:

  • The influences of nutrition and the environment
  • Cellular structure and function, causes and mechanisms of cellular pathology.
  • Immunity and host defence mechanisms, immune dysfunctions affecting the oro-facial complex.
  • Inflammation and inflammatory diseases of the oro-facial complex
  • Human microbiome, with reference to dysbiosis in dental caries and periodontal diseases
  • Oral manifestations of systemic diseases and the oral-systemic link and its impact on general and oral health
  • Oral potentially malignant and malignant disorders that are a major threat to global public health.

Bridging the gap in dental training programs from basic medical science in the initial years to clinical practice, Pathological Basis of Oral and Maxillofacial Diseases is an essential reference for dental students, trainees and practitioners seeking to grasp the pathological basis of disease and apply that knowledge to the oral and maxillofacial regions.
