Oral Anatomy, Histology and Embryology Elsevier eBook on VitalSource, 5th Edition

• 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
