Interrelationships between oral and general health involve most organ systems. Although specialists are often required in care of compromised patients, this text is written so that practitioners and students of dentistry will be able to recognize and avoid problems, and be able to use consultations and referrals properly. Twenty-six chapters each treat a separate category of disease or condition. The previous edition of this work is cited in Brandon-Hill. Annotation (c)2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
