Permar's Oral Embryology and Microscopic Anatomy: A Textbook for Students in Dental Hygiene

Providing students with a general picture of basic tissues and stressing the importance of oral tissues, this volume discusses the location, composition and structure of oral tissues and considers clinical aspects and the importance of tissues. The book includes comprehensive and understandable information about oral embryology and microscopic anatomy. It opens with an introduction to general histology, then covers oral histology; tooth development; and head and neck. At the end of each chapter there are references/suggested reading in the footnotes, for those interested in more in-depth information about a particular subject. This edition contains new colour illustrations and photomicrographs, which have been added to provide vivid views of the tissues. They should help the student with the interpretation of the written content, which could be difficult to follow without visual aids. The text material and legends have also been updated.
