Allpatholo-gists with an interest in the pathology of the oraland max-illo-facial and head and neck region should have acopy. Oral Oncology, 2007 From Published Reviews of the Previous Edition The first edition of this commendable book was published in1976. Since then it has developed into a classical reference bookon the subject . . . The book is most valuable for oral and generalpathologists, radiologists, oral and general surgeons. generaldentists as well as undergraduate and post-graduate students.It is systematicallv organised. which makes it easy to gain accessto the information of interest. The author should be congratulatedon a most signifi-cant work. I recommend the book to all withan interest in this field. International Dental Journal As part of their normal practice, dentists are notinfrequently faced with diagnosing and managing patients with cystsof the jaws and oral regions. This book is a comprehensive accountof such cysts and covers the clinical and radiographic features, aswell as the aetiology, pathogenesis, histology and treatment . . .Overall the detail of the book is such that it is most suited topostgraduate students, as well as being a valuable and detailedreference text for oral and general pathologists andsurgeons. Dental Update This book will naturally and quite correctly attract greatattention. Mervyn Shear has over the years maintained a tremendousinterest in this subject. He has not only pub-lishedextensively but also contributed significantly to our betterunderstanding and thus better patient management. This text is thethird addition but represents a significant advance on previoustexts . . . It is difficult to fault this text and certainly a bookwhich all clinicians at all levels will constantly refer. It mustbe stressed that it is not a surgical manual. It will not give astudent a 'one line' answer to the many complex and oftenincompletely understood aspects of many cysts. Indeed I believethat is the strength of this book: It provides a well documentedreview of the important literature about most of the controversialareas. The text then allows the reader to make his own mind up foreach main type of cyst and divides them into frequency, age, sex,site, clinical presen-tation, radiological features,pathogenesis, pathology and treatments . . . In summary anexcellent text book which tackles an important subject with acommanding logic. P. WARD-BOOTH Professor of Maxillofacial Surgery
