Book Description

Directly correlates to the daily practice of dentistry. This textbook supplies much more than a treatise on tooth morphology. Chapter one alone covers head and neck anatomy, muscles, nerve and blood supply with learning exercises and a glossary of new terms. The second chapter guides the student through a thorough examination of the oral cavity and surrounding structures. Basic tooth morphology is supported by research data and supplemented with learning exercises and ten double-side pull-out pages which are intended to be used like flash cards. Many computer-generated outlines of teeth facilitate the study and understanding of both internal and external crown and root morphology, serving as an aid in basic endodontic and periodontal treatment. The chapters on operative dentistry and functional occlusion go into considerably more detail than found in other dental anatomy texts. Unique to this type of book as well is the chapter on forensic dentistry. Dr. Woelfel and Dr. Scheid designed this book to make learning of the various subjects a fun but memorable experience. Even after the student has graduated, the book acquires new value as an indispensable ready reference to be kept in his or her own professional dental office.
