First published in 1944, Orban's Oral Histology and Embryology has become the classic text for successive generations of dental students. This thirteenth edition, while retaining the same fundamentals and lucid writing style, reflects upon the recent advances and latest curriculum offered in Indian universities. New to this Edition - All chapters have been extensively revised and updated - Incorporates Summary and Review Questions at the end of each chapter for the benefit of the students - All line illustrations have been modified and poor photographs have been replaced with improved ones for better understanding of the subject - New chapter on Lymphoid Tissue and Lymphatics in Orofacial Region - Preparation of Specimens for Histologic Study upgraded as a chapter Salient Features - Incorporates all relevant changes especially in the field of molecular biology - Discusses molecular biological aspects of oral tissues - Emphasizes clinical relevance of oral histological aspects

- New chapter on Age Changes in Oral Tissues - More/ improved color illustrations - Summary with subheadings for quick review - More text boxes and flowcharts incorporated to highlight important concepts and for ease of understanding subject matter

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.

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.
