Medico-dental lesions of the oral cavity : part 1

Abstract

It is difficult for a member of one profession to choose a subject suitable for a lecture by another profession, but in this particular instance, the physician, the surgeon, and the dental-surgeon are really all practicing different branches of the same great science-Medicine. I have, therefore, asked myself the question: 'what have we most in common? How can my craft help yours?' and, 'what lessons have I learned from dental-surgery that I might pass on for your consideration?' In order to answer these questions, from facts rather than hearsay, I have the backing of over 30 years of private and hospital experience.
