by Daniel J. Chiego Jr. MS, PhD

Overview

Essentials of Oral Histology and Embryology: A Clinical Approach, 5th Edition uses a patient-centered approach in coveringto help dental professionals build a strong foundation in oral biology and basic science for dental professionals. It provides a clear understanding 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 with abnormalities. 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 helps you succeed in the classroom and in clinical practice.

Editorial Reviews

"The third edition was a standard used by many, and for good reason. This edition continues the tradition with its use of color, graphics, and photographs, the layout, the credibility of the authors, and the presentation of current and updated information. Other books may be superior in some areas, but this one is well rounded and gives an honest appraisal of the subjects it addresses. It appears more user-friendly compared to previous editions or other books in the field of oral biology. I strongly recommend this book to dental students."-Pandu Gangula, PhD(Meharry Medical College School of Dentistry) Doody Review: 4 stars
