Preface



Colour atlases are often seen as the 'coffee table publications' of the medical and dental literature and certainly here is a volume that could comfortably grace the finest coffee tables of the world. This is the third edition of a critically acclaimed book which has been revised and updated since the second edition appeared in 1989. It has also been considerably extended by 200 extra pages to make a total of 530. Indeed, even the description 'colour atlas' greatly undersells this book, which includes sizeable text sections to accompany the wonderful illustrations and clinical photographs.
