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.
ESSENTIALS OF ORAL HISTOLOGY AND EMBRYOLOGY forms the foundation for everything students need to know about dental anatomy. It's divided into sixteen chapters which include discussions of cells, tissue and organ biology; development of the orofacial region; the formation, eruption, and exfoliation of teeth; structure and function of teeth; structure of supporting tissues; and the soft tissues of the oral area. * Encompasses histologic and embryologic information with specific considerations of the latest clinical connotations. * Features self-evaluation questions at the end of each chapter, so students can test their knowledge of material. * Contains more than 480 superb full-color illustrations, including low magnification light and high magnification electron microscopic photographs. * Includes several tables and boxes throughout text to highlight and facilitate further comprehension of material.
Accompanying CD-ROM contains ... "150 color images with legends, 472 book figures with legends, 438 multiple choice test questions, and 119 interactive drag-and-drop exercises." -- from CD-ROM Welcome screen.
First published in 1944, Orban's Oral Histology and Embryology has become the classic text for successive generations of dental students.
