Some oral soft tissue diseases exhibit distinctive clinical features and require little more than visual recognition to make an accurate diagnosis. Others share common features making an accurate diagnosis more challenging. Recognizing the clinical features most helpful in differentiating one lesion from another is an essential part of the diagnostic process.
 
In this manual, each lesion is illustrated by one or more color photographs depicting the typical clinical features and common variations. Recommendations for treatment and follow-up, including sample prescriptions and concise drug monographs, are included.
