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 STDs, 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.
We believe this book is the first of its kind targeted at oral healthcare
professionals worldwide. This multi‐author work has contributors drawn
from many parts of the world with expertise in infectious diseases,
community medicine, sexual health, dermatology, oral pathology,
microbiology and clinical oral medicine. Editor, section editors and chapter
contributors hope that this publication will contribute to the missions of
global organisations such as the FDI World Dental Federation, the World
Health Organisation, Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, and the
International Association of Dental Research in promoting health through
oral health.
We believe that this publication is a timely addition to the world's dental
and medical literature and will be of value to dentists, oral health therapists,
dental hygienists, undergraduate and postgraduate dental students, medical
practitioners, dermatologists and other healthcare providers
