New edition of a now classic textbook covering oral anatomy, histology and embryology suitable for dental students and candidates for post-graduate dental examinations. 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embryology in one volume Features approximately 1100 high-quality colour images, one quarter of which are previously unpublished Contains useful ‘clinical application’ boxes to clearly show relevance of subject area to routine dental practice Completely revised section on tooth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 New design aids learning by the inclusion of clearer diagrams and high quality, larger format digital images

Written by dentists for dentists – authors who know exactly what students need for safe clinical practice Includes comprehensive coverage of the soft tissues of the oral region and skeletal structures of the head, including vasculature and innervation Contains topics not found in other titles – including tooth eruption morphology and the effects of aging on teeth and associated soft tissues Includes clear discussion of sectional and functional morphology – mastication, swallowing, and speech Addresses physical and chemical properties of the tooth structure – enamel, dentine, pulp and cementum Many chapters include Clinical Considerations which explore pathological findings relating to the topic as well as other areas of importance such as the use of local anaesthesia, TMJ disorders and malocclusion Explores bone structure and remodelling – including potential bone atrophy following tooth extraction, its relevance to orthodontic treatment and implantology, trauma and malignancy Rich with over 1000 images including schematic artworks, radiological images, electron-micrographs, cadaveric and clinical photographs all specially selected to make learning and recall as easy as possible Includes the use of mnemonics and emboldened key terms to aid recall On-line self-assessment module aids revision and self-testing Many topics now boxed to aid learning and rapid revision Explores recent areas of research including tissue engineering techniques, TMJ replacement and the discovery of new chromosomal abnormalities
