Main description:

Alagappan's Clinical Medicine for Dental Students is the latest edition of this comprehensive student resource. Updated epidemiological data and new flowcharts and illustrations bring the book firmly up to date.

Divided into 55 chapters across nine sections, the first section covers general medical assessment, providing a sample assessment chart at the end of the section. Further sections cover specific parts and systems of the body, including abdomen, cardiovascular system, respiratory system, haematology and endocrinology. The final two sections cover nutrition and infectious diseases.

Oral manifestations of medical conditions are defined clearly for medical students, under separate headings where necessary, and text boxes are included to highlight key information. This new edition features the latest definitions and guidelines on clinical medicine in dentistry.

With highly relevant and up to date information enhanced by 264 full colour images and illustrations, Alagappan's Clinical Medicine for Dental Students is an ideal reference book and revision resource for undergraduate dental students.
