Fundamentals of Oral Histology and Physiology is a landmark new text streamlining the essentials of histology and physiology into one clinically accessible textbook. Written for predoctoral dental students, the book brings together structure, function, and clinical correlations for maximum retention and ease of use. Assuming a background in basic biologic sciences, this text focuses on the histology and physiology that students need to know to practice dentistry and to understand and evaluate the current literature, without repeating basic information learned in other courses. Fundamentals of Oral Histology and Physiology concentrates on Oral Structures and Features, including Development, Teeth, Tooth and Jaw Support, Mucosal Structure and Function, and Effectors.

Master the basics of Dental Histology, Anatomy, Embryology and Physiology. Fundamentals of Oral Anatomy, Physiology and Histology comprises of four units: Oral Histology, Oral Anatomy, General Embryology and Oral Physiology sections elaborating essential concepts in altogether 38 chapters. Oral Histology emphasizes on the morphology and variation of teeth as a part of dental anatomy. The dental histology section describes the development of teeth and associated tissues including enamel, dentin, pulp, cementum and periodontal ligament. Salivary glands, oral mucosa, maxillary sinus, temporomandibular joint and tissue preparation comprise the rest of the second unit, Oral Anatomy. The third unit of Embryology explains the development of the oral and paraoral structures with details of general embryology from fertilization onwards. Physiology is the fourth unit which constitutes important topics related to year one of dentistry that include mastication, chewing cycle, saliva and calcium phosphorous metabolism. - Conforms to the syllabi prescribed by DCI - Offers an easy-to-follow format for each chapter with numerous tables, flowcharts, photos, and simple neatly labelled line diagrams and histomicrographs - Summarizes important take away points under Synopsis in each chapter - Provided Review Questions in each chapter for self-appraisal - Hand drawn histology diagrams

A total of 5 chapters have been added , which will add to knowledge base and understanding of students:- Three chapters in Tooth Morphology section, Evolution of Teeth and Comparative Dental Anatomy, Guidelines for Drawing Tooth Morphology Diagrams, and Functional Occlusion and Malocclusion, which will help students in systematic understanding of morphological development of teeth.- One chapter in Oral Histology section, Introduction to Oral Histology, has been added to abreast students with the basic knowledge of cell structure which forms the basics of histological study.- One chapter in Physiology section, Somatosensory System, has been added, that will update the knowledge of the students.Each chapter opens with an Overview to sensitize students with the content of the chapter .Applied aspect has been added in each chapter to enhance the clinical understanding of the subject.Mind Maps have been added at the end of each chapter, which highlight the important topics of the chapter to facilitate easy learning .Essentials of the chapters in a tabular form for easy retention and recall have been given on Lippincott Gurukul site.

Master the basics of Dental Anatomy, Histology, Embryology and Physiology. The first edition of this book comprises of four sections. The first unit emphasizes on the morphology and variation of teeth as a part of dental anatomy. The Dental histology describes the development of teeth and associated tissues including enamel, dentin, pulp, cementum and periodontal ligament. It also includes the physical and chemical properties, histological appearance and clinical considerations of the same. Shedding, eruption of teeth, occlusion, and muscles of mastication are also dealt with. Salivary glands, oral mucosa, maxillary sinus, temporomandibular joint and tissue preparation comprise the rest of the second unit. The third unit of embryology explains the development of the oral and paraoral structures with details of general embryology from fertilization onwards. Physiology is the fourth unit which constitutes important topics related to year one of dentistry that include mastication, chewing cycle, saliva and calcium and phosphorus metabolism. - Conforms to the syllabi prescribed by DCI - Offers an easy-to-follow format for each chapter with numerous tables, flowcharts, photos, and simple neatly labelled line diagrams and histomicrographs - Summarizes important take away points under Synopsis in each chapter - Provided Review Questions in each chapter for self-appraisal - Hand drawn histology diagrams

A must have title for Dentak Students on Oral anatomy, histology, physiology and tooth morphology.
