Features: Surgeons have an inherent interest in pathology, and if not, that is not right. Only by understanding the pathogenesis of the disease can it be treated effectively. Surgeons need to understand pathological terminology to be able to read a complete pathology report and should also be aware of the limitations of pathological diagnosis. To make a meaningful diagnosis, pathologists often need to understand the clinical manifestations of the disease. Surgeons and pathologists each have their own roles and cooperate to maximize the benefit for patients. To help busy surgeons obtain a wealth of knowledge, this book is published in a concise and summarized form, containing as much information as possible. Written by one surgeon and two pathologists, this book addresses the needs of oral surgeons, with a focus on the principles of disease treatment rather than non-surgical management, as was the case in the past. Non-surgical treatments, especially for mucosal diseases, which are within the scope of oral surgeons, are also included. It is hoped that this book will help oral surgeons solve common problems.
