“One of the first volumes in a planned Encyclopedia of Pathology, this one covers the diseases of the mouth and teeth and includes articles on inflammatory, developmental, and neoplastic diseases and cysts. … intended audience is practicing pathologists and pathologists in training. At the same time, it is designed to be on the front shelves of medical libraries and serve as a quick reference for other clinicians and even nonmedical readers who need a reliable source of information about pathology.” (Ivan Damjanov, Doody’s Book Reviews, June, 2016)
