Title: Outdated
Product review: The differential diagnosis scheme presented in the book is very confusing. I think the best way to categorize lesions is by internal structure. This is the most prominent feature of any lesion. Any lesion can be one of three possibilities; radiolucent,radiopaque or mixed. There is no fourth possibility. After that lesions can be further grouped according to patient age, relation to teeth, site and other characteristic features. Oral radiology, principles and interpretation by white and pharaoh provides a perfect system of describing lesions in an easy and very organized manner. Wood and Goaz book was printed in 1997. It contains names of lesions that no longer exist. For example you will find odontogenic keratocyst which is renamed by WHO to keratocystic odontogenic tumor because of its aggressive behavior. You should never study from such an outdated book that classify oral and maxillofacial lesions in a complicated and confusingway. I myself placed an order on amazon to return this book.
