"Lesions of the oral cavity and jaws can be unique, and often represent a diagnostic challenge to the clinician and pathologist. Veterinary Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology focuses on methods for establishing a diagnosis and set of differential diagnoses. The gross and microscopic features of every lesion are described in detail, with color images, illustrations and diagrams to support the text. The authors stress a holistic approach for establishing a meaningful diagnosis, considering patient signalment, lesion history, the opinion of the submitting clinician, and imaging findings. As they play a key role in diagnosis, the unique aspects of tooth development and the histologic features of oral tissues are also described in detail.
