The new edition of this now classic book continues to provide dental students with all of the information required to ensure a complete understanding of oral anatomy, histology and embryology as they relate to dental practice. Authored by experts of international renown, the high-quality images and clearly written text found within this volume - features which strongly characterised the high success of previous editions - make study of these challenging topics as easy as possible.
Key Features
- Presents a unique, integrative approach to oral dental science by covering aspects of gross anatomy, tooth morphology, radiology, oral histology and embryology in one volume
- Features approximately 1100 high-quality colour images, one quarter of which are previously unpublished
- Contains useful 'clinical application' boxes to clearly show relevance of subject area to routine dental practice
New to This Edition
- Completely revised section on tooth morphology with improved specimens and digital photography
- Contains a new chapter on the effects of ageing to highlight the important changes taking place in the oro-dental tissues in an increasingly ageing population
