| Abstract | "Oral manifestations are a common feature of some sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). In such situations, the majority of patients have no knowledge of the possible link between underlying sexually acquired diseases and their presenting oral signs or symptoms. It is also likely that dental practitioners who treat these patients lack adequate knowledge of links between the underlying diseases and their oral presentation. It is important, therefore, that dental practitioners have adequate knowledge of the nature of sexually transmitted diseases, their clinical presentations, progression, and impact upon oral and systemic health. They will need, in consultation with the patient's physician, to provide appropriate management of the oral condition. The extant literature contains a number of case reports and review articles dealing with oral manifestations of some STDs but a single source that provides a comprehensive account of oral manifestations of a wide range of these diseases is not available. Textbooks on oral diseases and on oral medicine do not always deal with STDs in detail. 'Clinical Guide to Sexually Transmitted Oral Diseases for Dental Practice' aims to fill this gap by providing oral health care providers with a single source designed to be useful in everyday practice. Our main purpose is to improve competence of dental practitioners in the recognition and management of oral manifestations of STDs. The book is structured to help dental and medical practitioners work closely, with a holistic approach, in caring for their patients. This book has seventeen chapters grouped in three sections. The first provides an overview including the global STD burden, its impact of on public health and the role of healthcare professionals in the prevention of STDs. Section 2 deals with oral and genital mucosa with respect to their structure and associated microbiota and highlights the impact of risky sexual behaviours such as oral sex on oral and general health. Section 3 provides detailed information on the oral manifestations of sexually transmitted diseases and those opportunistic infections and neoplasms commonly encountered in HIV disease. Though oropharyngeal infectious mononucleosis and oral candidiasis are not primarily sexually transmitted, they are included in Section 3 because of their frequent co-presentation"-- |
