Essentials of Oral Histology and Embryology: A Clinical Approach, 6th Edition uses a patient-centered approach to help dental professionals build a strong foundation in oral biology and basic science. It provides clear explanations of the anatomy of oral and facial tissues — and of normal and abnormal orofacial development — so that you can provide effective oral health care for all patients. In addition to the stages of tooth development, it covers eruption and shedding of teeth, plus the parts of teeth — including enamel, dentin, dental pulp, and cementum. Written by Daniel J. Chiego, Jr., a noted dental educator and researcher, this book gives you the knowledge you need to succeed in the classroom and in clinical practice.
