Be prepared to diagnose and manage any condition you encounter in your practice! This bestselling reference gives you direct access to a complete range of full-color clinical images and patient radiographs that illustrate the differentiating characteristics of lesions in the oral and maxillofacial region. Significantly revised and updated content throughout this edition brings you the latest information on the etiology, clinical features, histopathology, treatment, and prognosis of each disease entity, as well as cutting-edge topics such as bisphosphonate osteonecrosis, the oral complications associated with methamphetamine abuse, solitary fibrous tumors, gene mutation, and plasminogen deficiency.

Key features

  • Over 1,300 clinical photos and radiographs, most in full color, facilitate identification and classification of lesions.
  • Current concepts of pathogenesis and disease management help you understand the diseases that affect the oral and maxillofacial structures, formulate an accurate diagnosis, and institute proper treatment.
  • Each chapter is logically organized by body system or disease group, enabling you to easily identify a specific condition.
  • A comprehensive appendix of differential diagnosis among oral and maxillofacial disease processes helps you rule out invalid diagnoses.
  • The bibliography divided by topic presented at the end of each chapter enables you to pursue supplemental literature.
  • Highly accomplished authors and contributors with a broad range of clinical and classroom teaching experience provide well-balanced coverage of the entire subject.

Carl M. Allen

Dr. Carl M. Allen is Emeritus Professor of the Ohio State University, College of Dentistry, retiring after 36 years of teaching. Following retirement, he practiced with a dermatology group, followed by an otolaryngology group. Two of his former residents took over the practice, and Carl finally retired. Dr. Allen received his DDS from Ohio State in 1975 and trained in oral and maxillofacial pathology at Indiana University from 1978 to 1980. Throughout his career, he has been active in seeing patients clinically who were referred for evaluation of oral disease. He has also actively participated in affiliated oral and maxillofacial biopsy services, allowing him to examine microscopically the tissue sections obtained from the patients he had seen. He has been a Diplomate of the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology since 1983 and completed a six-year term (1994-2000) as Editor of the American Academy of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology. He was President of the AAOMP in 2004 and was a Director of the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology from 2005 to 2013. Carl has published over 125 refereed articles in dental and medical journals and has written chapters dealing with oral disease for texts in the fields of otolaryngology, microbiology, dermatology and surgical pathology. Three significant contributions, however, were as a co-editor of the textbook, Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology by Neville, Damm, Allen and Chi, which is in its fifth edition; the Color Atlas of Oral and Maxillofacial Diseases, by the same authors, published in 2019; and author of Oral Disease: Case Studies of Difficult Diagnoses, published in 2026.
