The Tongue

The tongue concentrates signs that the dentist sees daily and cannot always classify. Filippi and Hitz Lindenmüller begin with a review of lingual anatomy and of general diagnostic and treatment guidance, and on that basis build an atlas of more than fifty diseases and alterations that manifest on the tongue. Each condition is presented in a quick-reference table — aetiology, prognosis and other key data — accompanied by clinical photography, so that what is being seen at the chair can be checked against the reference image. An oral medicine resource conceived for settling doubts on the spot rather than for continuous reading.
