Book Review Slide Interpretation in Oral Diseases and the Oral Manifestations of Systemic Diseases. C. Scully and J. Shepherd. Pp. 156. 1986. Oxford, Oxford University Press. Softback, f 12-95. This pocket-size book consists of 60 illustrations of clinical conditions, mostly colour photographs but also a few radiographs. On the page that the condition is illustrated are a number of questions, the answers for which can be found elsewhere in the book. The conditions vary from the common to the exotic, and the book is intended to be used by both undergraduates and postgraduates preparing for FDS, MRCP and MGDS examinations. It is not meant to be comprehensive and I expect they will use it mainly in their final preparation. With only one or two exceptions the colour reproductions are excellent but two of the panoramic radiographs are so reduced in size that interpretation is difficult. The brevity required of this format can lead to
continued ignorance or even confusion. For example, I did not find it helpful to read that Paget’s disease of bone is a common disorder but that median rhomboid glossitis is uncommon (and has a good prognosis) without being given prevalence figures for the two conditions; and understanding the detailed immunofluorescent findings in various bullous disorders would be helped by an explanation of the table given. Surely it is an oversimplification to state that a dentigerous cyst forms when the defunct follicle around the crown of an unerupted tooth starts to produce bone-resorbing prostaglandins. While many dental teachers no doubt feel that they too could have produced a similar book, they have not made the effort to do so, and these authors must be thanked therefore for completing this task. All students preparing for examinations involving oral diagnosis, oral medicine or oral surgery should be encouraged to read this book as part of their final revision. J. C. Southam
