In recognition of his research into oral cancer \u0026amp; precancer, he has been awarded both a Hunterian Professorship from the Royal College of Surgeons of England \u0026amp; a King James IV Professorship from the Royal College of Surgeons in Edinburgh.  This pioneering book brings together the latest research on precancer conditions of the oral cavity and their specific application to the dental field. In addition to providing a scientific and evidence-based survey of the disparate sources of oral precancer research, this book presents practical information, proposing a rational basis for an interventional clinical management protocol.
