Wheeler's Dental Anatomy, Physiology and Occlusion - Elsevier eBook on VitalSource, 10th Edition
Elsevier eBook on VitalSource
Applying dental anatomy to the practice of dentistry, Wheeler’s Dental Anatomy, Physiology, and Occlusion, 10th Edition provides illustrated coverage of dentitions, pulp formation, the sequence of eruptions, and clinical considerations. This edition expands its focus on clinical applications and includes dozens of 360-degree and 3-D tooth animations on the Evolve companion website. The market leader, this text provides a solid foundation in a core dental subject, and in fact is used as a reference in creating examination questions for the dental anatomy and occlusion section of the NBDE Part I.
