CAWSON'S ESSENTIALS OF
ORAL PATHOLOGY
AND ORAL MEDICINE
by Roderick A. Cawson
Preface
It may perhaps be a surprise to many that Essentials has been
in continuous publication for forty years. It was the first short
book on dental surgery and pathology and published in hard
cover by the old-established firm of Churchill. Since then it has
survived, among other hazards, successive publishers' takeovers
from Churchill, to Churchill Livingstone, to Harcourt
Brace and, most recently, to Elsevier Science.
The text has been updated, but please remember that by the
time you read this (does anyone read Prefaces?) some of it will
inevitably be out of date as a result of the rapidity of medical
progress.
We are flattered that the previous edition was adopted as a
standard text for the MFDS and hope that the present edition
will help to bring success to even more candidates sitting this
examination.
Under the valued supervision of Mike Parkinson, the
Publishing Editor, and Jim Killgore and Hannah Kenner, the
Project Development Managers, the text illustrations are now in
colour throughout. The few exceptions are mostly pictures taken
before the advent of colour photography of conditions that are
unlikely to be seen now. However, they should still be of interest
to compare with similar conditions which might be seen now
and may suggest that some progress may have been made.
We are immensely pleased that the colour reproductions of
both clinical pictures and photomicrographs are of quite outstanding
quality and are deeply grateful to our publishers for the
trouble they have taken.
