Treatment of Common Oral Conditions

This updated edition of the American Academy of Oral Medicine (AAOM) Clinician's Guide series bestseller is intended as a quick reference to the etiologic factors, clinical description, currently accepted therapeutic management, and patient education of the more common oral conditions. Topics include: chapped lips, cheilitis, taste disorders, shingles, dry mouth, and recurrent orofacial herpes simplex. For many conditions described in this monograph there is currently no cure; but the treatment modalities outlined in the guide can help practitioners offer their patients relief from discomfort and the best available management techniques for each presenting condition.
