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.
