Give your students a solid foundation in the structure and function of oral tissues with the definitive text in oral histology! Ten Cate's Oral Histology, 10th Edition covers the latest research and thinking on general embryology, the development of the head (especially the structures in and around the mouth), oral anatomy, the structure of the tooth, salivary glands, the temporomandibular joint, and more. Clear explanations and full-color photos, micrographs, drawings, and charts help students understand even the most complex topics. Edited by noted educator Dr. Antonio Nanci and written with the collaboration of some notable experts, this renowned text also provides excellent preparation for the histology content in the INDBE exam.
NEW! An eBook version is included with print purchase. The eBook allows students to access all of the text, figures and references, with the ability to search, customize content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud.
NEW! Updated review questions for the INDBE exam are added to the eBook, along with interactive drag-and-drop labelling exercises, allowing students extra practice for the exam.
A robust art program includes full-color photomicrographs and 3D art, as well as detailed histological and structural images to help differentiate the microanatomy of tissues.
Molecular concepts are integrated to help students understand genes and mechanisms implicated in embryogenesis, development, cell function, and matrix events.
Application of histology content to the clinical setting is emphasized throughout the book.
User-friendly approach emphasizes learning and understanding concepts rather than memorization of detail, and also allows students to use individual chapters or sections independently.
Feature boxes provide a broader context, present new concepts, and discuss topics of clinical relevance.
