Oral Anatomy, Histology and Embryology is unique in offering easy-to-understand explanations of all three of these complex topics in the one book.

This popular textbook is designed to help students develop a deep understanding of these subjects to support their study and future clinical careers. Learning is made easy with clear diagrams, photographs and explanations.

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.

Key Features:

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
Explores bone structure and remodelling - including potential bone atrophy following tooth extraction, its relevance to orthodontic treatment and implantology, trauma and malignancy
Images and text have been considered in terms of human diversity
Online self-assessment quizzes supports learning and exam preparation
Online bibliography for each topic provides options for further reading
An enhanced eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all the text, figures and references, with the ability to search, customise your content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud

New chapter on reparative and regenerative dentistry
