Get a clear picture of oral biology and the formation and study of dental structures. Illustrated Dental Embryology, Histology, & Anatomy, 5th Edition is the ideal introduction to one of the most foundational areas in the dental professions – understanding the development, cellular makeup, and physical anatomy of the head and neck regions. Written in a clear, reader-friendly style, this text makes it easy for you to understand both basic science and clinical applications - putting the content into the context of everyday dental practice. New for the fifth edition is evidence-based research on the dental placode, nerve core region, bleeding difficulties, silver diamine fluoride, and primary dentition occlusion. Plus, high-quality color renderings and clinical histographs and photomicrographs throughout the book, truly brings the material to life.

Very good illustrated, usfull book for dentestry students
I must say I appreciate the illustrations used in this textbook. I will be using it as my core textbook as I believe it will be a benefit to the students. This textbook will allow students to visualize and appreciate oral biology.
Es la quinta edición (2020) de un libro clásico para los estudiantes de odontología, donde se recogen todos los aspectos fundamentales de la embriología, la histología y la anatomía dental. Edición renovada y muy cuidadada, con excelentes ilustraciones. También tiene material adicional para el autoaprendizaje del alumno. La única pega es que sólo esté disponible en inglés. ¿para cuándo una versión en castellano?
