Now in its sixth edition, the book has been fully updated to incorporate latest developments in the field. It provides full coverage of topics including tooth morphology, functional anatomy, oro-dental histology, craniofacial and oral development and clinical considerations.
    • New chapter on reparative and regenerative dentistry
    • Memory maps to support learning
    • Over 1,000 images including schematic artworks, radiological images, electron-micrographs, cadaveric and clinical photographs and memory maps – all specially selected to make learning and recall as easy as possible
    • Numerous clinical case histories help relate the basic science to clinical practice
    • Includes comprehensive coverage of the soft tissues of the oral region and skeletal structures of the head, including vasculature and innervation
    • Includes information on mastication, swallowing, speech, radiology and archaeological applications of tooth structure
    • Addresses physical, chemical and structural properties of the tooth (enamel, dentine, pulp and cementum) and of the periodontium and oral mucosa
