This book's tenth edition provides comprehensive, yet concise coverage of embryology and histology for dental hygiene and dental assisting professions. The text begins with the basics of general histology, progresses through the development of the human embryo and fetus, and concludes with a focus on the development of the face and oral cavity. New to this edition are: numerous illustrations depicting embryonic development and oral microscopic anatomy; clinical aspects of tissues to help students apply fundamental principles; and suggested readings to help students find additional resources. A new chapter regarding salivary glands includes information about remineralization, demineralization, fluoride, bacterial diseases, and HIV.

Designed to provide dental students with a detailed introduction to oral anatomy, embryology, and histology, the New Edition of this highly regarded textbook gives dental students the information they need in a lavishly illustrated resource. Emphasizing student-friendly textbook features, the 3rd Edition has been rewritten to offer a specialized background that includes more relevant topics and new research in areas such as molecular biology, confocal microscopy, immunocytochemistry, and immunohistochemistry*while building on its excellent tradition of extensive, high-quality color photographs and illustrations. A new paperback format makes the book more convenient and accessible for easy reference to key topics in the classroom or any setting. Spanish version of 2nd edition also available, ISBN: 84-8174-139-6

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.

An Illustrated Guide to Oral Histology Learn more about the histological presentation of diseased and normal oral tissues with this high definition illustrated dental reference An Illustrated Guide to Oral Histology delivers a collection of high-definition histological and pathological images, presenting both diseased and normal oral tissues. The book provides over 200 high-magnification histomicrographs of oral tissues, as well as definitions and explanations of key identifying histological and pathological features of oral tissues. Readers will also benefit from explanations of the clinical significance of particular features, numerous images of ground sections, haemotoxylin- and eosin-stained sections, and electron images. It also includes core topics such as: An introduction to tooth development, including the bud, cap, early bell, and late bell stages A thorough exploration of enamel, dentin, cementum and dental pulp A discussion of the periodontal ligament, including alveolar crest fibers, horizontal, oblique, apical, and inter-radicular fibers, transseptal fibers, and gingival fibers A guide to alveolar bone, oral mucosa, and salivary glands Perfect for postgraduate dental students, An Illustrated Guide to Oral Histology will also be useful to undergraduate dental students, and those looking to improve their understanding of the microscopic structure of dental tissues and their pathologies.
