Textbook Of Oral Embryology Histology

This textbook provides comprehensive coverage of oral embryology, histology, anatomy and physiology in a single volume. It provides dental students with a one-stop resource to assist them in their basic science training and includes sections on human oral embryology, oral anatomy, physiology and histochemistry. Well illustrated figures, tables and diagrams assist understanding and learning.

Featuring a full-color review of dental structures, Illustrated Dental Embryology, Histology, and Anatomy, 4th Edition provides a complete look at the development, cellular makeup, and morphology of the teeth and associated structures. A clear, reader-friendly writing style makes it easy to understand both basic science and clinical applications, putting the material into the context of everyday dental practice. New to this edition are updates on caries risk, safe levels of fluoride use, and prevention of periodontal disease. Expert authors Margaret Fehrenbach and Tracy Popowics provide an essential background in oral biology for dental hygiene and dental assisting students, including excellent preparation for board exams. Comprehensive coverage includes all the content needed for an introduction to the developmental, histological, and anatomical foundations of oral health. Hundreds of full-color anatomical illustrations and clinical and microscopic photographs accompany text descriptions of anatomy and biology. An approachable writing style covers the latest evidence-based information and makes it easy to grasp and learn to apply the material. A logical organization separates the book into four units for easier understanding: (1) an introduction to dental structures, (2) dental embryology, (3) dental histology, and (4) dental anatomy. Key terms open each chapter, accompanied by phonetic pronunciations, and are highlighted within the text, and a glossary provides a quick and handy review and research tool. Clinical Considerations boxes relate abstract-seeming biological concepts to everyday clinical practice. Learning outcomes at the beginning of each chapter clearly identify the information you are expected to absorb. Summary tables and boxes provide quick, easy-to-read summaries of concepts and procedures and serve as useful review and study tools. Student resources on the Evolve companion website enhance learning with practice quizzes, samplecase studies, review questions, and interactive exercises. A student workbook offers a wealth of interactive exercises, including labeling/structure identification to master anatomy, word-search and crossword puzzles for vocabulary practice, detailed guidelines for tooth drawing, and illustrated case studies with follow-up questions; in the back of the book, 32 removable flashcards provide practice on identifying permanent teeth and their features and characteristics. Sold separately. A bibliography lists resource citations for further research and study. Expert author Margaret Fehrenbach is one of the most trusted names in dental hygiene education, and writes extensively, lectures widely, and consults for many of the major dental manufacturers and supply companies.

During the first two years of dental training, students are required to gain knowledge of anatomy, histology and embryology. The Textbook of Oral and Maxillofacial Anatomy, Histology and Embryology provides in-depth discussion of each of these areas in three separate, dedicated sections. Based on the curricular guidelines of dental councils and universities, this collection - with contributions from teachers of anatomy and oral biology - provides a complete understanding of the clinicalapplications in this area. With detailed illustrations and line drawings,this student-friendly and exam-oriented volume is essential reading for undergraduates. It will also serve postgraduate students in dentistry and those pursuing courses in dental nursing and dental technology. With contributions from a team of international medical and dental teachers, this book provides a systematic and straightforward approach to the study of anatomical, histological and embryological aspects of themaxillofacial and oral structures. The text is illustrated with numerous colour and black and white photographs.

New chapter on Age Changes in Oral Tissues More/ improved color illustrations Summary with subheadings for quick review More text boxes and flowcharts incorporated to highlight important concepts and for ease of understanding subject matter

This work is designed to familiarise dental students and professionals with knowledge in the fields of oral histology and embryology and to relate these disciplines to clinical dental hygiene and day-to-day dental practice.
