The Anatomical Basis of Dentistry

by Bernard Liebgott DDS, MScD, PhD

Overview

The Anatomical Basis of Dentistry, 5th Edition fulfills the need for a textbook of gross anatomy written specifically for the dental profession. It features core anatomy of the entire body and in-depth chapters dealing with the head and neck and provides a solid foundation for the future dentist and review material for the dental specialty resident. The 5th edition includes a revised chapter on supplemental anatomy for the general dentist and dental specialties, such as oral and maxillofacial surgery, orthodontics, prosthodontics, periodontics, and radiology, along with updated illustrations and clinical applications. In addition, an eBook version is included with print purchase, providing access to all the text, figures, and references and the ability to search, customize content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud. Using a clear, accessible style, with practical Clinical Notes boxes updated to include more of a case-based approach, this book closely relates the basic science of applied anatomy to the clinical practice of dentistry and provides an excellent review for board exam preparation.

• Tailored content for dental practice focuses on core, need-to-know content.
• Regional approach to anatomy breaks down anatomical structures and body systems into easy-to-understand modules.
• Key cadaver dissection photographs of the head with interactive labelling clearly depict the location of anatomic structures.
• Review questions and answers at the end of each chapter reinforce and assess comprehension.

• REVISED! Chapter on clinically applied anatomy for dentists and dental specialties includes oral and maxillofacial surgery, orthodontics, prosthodontics, periodontics, and radiology.
• UPDATED! Clinical applications and Clinical Notes boxes provide incentive to learning and relate basic science concepts to the actual clinical practice of dentistry.
• NEW! An ebook version is included with print purchase, allowing access to all the text, figures, and references, review materials for students, as well as the ability to search, customize content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud.
• UPDATED! Enhanced and modern illustrations visually clarify key content.

Editorial Reviews

4 Stars! from Doody

Reviewer: Sandra E. Inouye, PhD (Midwestern University)
Description: This second edition of a gross anatomy textbook aimed at undergraduate dental students is filled with new photographs, useful tables, and schematics. The first edition was published in 1986.
Purpose: The book fulfills the need for a gross anatomy book aimed at this audience.
Audience: Although specifically tailored for undergraduate dental students, faculty teaching gross anatomy to students in other fields will find this text useful and informative in its treatment of the head and neck.
Features: Four of the 11 chapters are on head and neck; for completeness, a shorter treatment of areas that are not traditionally taught in dental gross anatomy courses is included. Throughout the book there are many clinical boxes, useful tables that summarize key information in the chapters, and many schematics that clearly illustrate important anatomical points. The only shortcomings are nominal: there are a couple of errors in the table of contents, the computer-generated images are not as nice as photographs, and a couple of photographs are not adequately labeled to discern what was being viewed. Nonetheless, the book is easy to read and comprehend, is organized well, and certainly fills a niche for students taking gross anatomy in dental school. .
Assessment: This second edition, in comparison to the first, adds more color printing, photographs, computer generated images, and more notes on clinical applications. The first edition was already a very good textbook, but the addition of these features with the expansion of chapters on the upper and lower limbs and the re-working of some chapters has improved the quality of the book. It is most certainly a useful educational textbook for dental students, but a much wider audience will also find it appealing.

Doody's Review Service

"The latest updated format includes a text-wide conversion to full colour based and extended artwork, descriptions of complex movements of the spine and head and neck regions and a welcome introduction of cone beam CT images." Faculty Dental Journal, June 2010. Vol. 1, Issue 2.

"The book is a good tool for students who wish to have a clear understanding of human anatomy, and it can be recommended as an additional text in training programmes, supporting the study of more challenging and detailed books of anatomy."

European Journal of Orthodontics, June 2010
