Anatomy for Dental Students
Readership:
Undergraduate dental students, practising dentists (medical students studying head and neck anatomy).
This book aims to provide the dental student with a description of all the gross, neurological, and developmental anatomy (apart from that of the dentition itself) necessary for the practice of dentistry and its major specialties. It is designed primarily as a textbook for the undergraduate student who is pursuing a practical course in topographical anatomy, but contains enough detail for the postgraduate dentist reading for additional qualifications.

This book aims to provide the dental student with a desciption of all the gross, neurological, and developmental anatomy (apart from that of the dentition itself) necessary for the practice of dentistry and its major specialties. It is designed primarily as a textbook for the undergraduate student who is pursuing a practical course in topographical anatomy, but contains enough detail for the postgraduate dentist reading for additional qualifications.
Greatest emphasis is placed on those regions and topics which are of importance to the practising dentist. Thus a major part of the book is devoted to the structure, function, development, and growth of the oral cavity and its surroundings which form the anatomical basis of much of dentistry. Outside the dental region those aspects of anatomy which are necessary for an understanding of the general morphology and function of the body are stressed. Wherever possible adult human structure is explained on developmental or comparative grounds. Clinical applications are included where these stem directly from anatomical structure.
In this new edition, the sections on neurobiology and early embryology have been completely rewritten in line with current thinking. New sections have been added on the development of the eye and ear. Throughout the book, new and revised illustrations have been added to increase clarity, and the text has been thoroughly updated.
From reviews of the second edition:
'An excellent book ... clearly written by teachers who understand the specialized needs of dental students in anatomy.'
