This text shows how developmental and structural microscopic anatomy form the foundation for everything students will need to know for effective study of oral health care. This text makes a connection between concept and clinical application, providing an explanation for the cause-and-effect nature of clinical oral manifestations. Key Features Provides a timeline of head and neck structural development from conception to birth and describes possible abnormalities in development, including cleft lip and palate. Describes the definitive stages and normal/abnormal paths of tooth development and maturation. Discusses specific hard and soft oral tissues including periodontal tissues, oral mucosa, TMJ, and parts of teeth (enamel, dentin, dental pulp, cementum) to illustrate how these structures develop and are related. Each chapter begins with a helpful chapter outline and a brief overview of chapter content. Consider the Patient boxes present a short case scenario and then discuss possible solutions at the end of the chapter to demonstrate practical applications of key concepts. Self-evaluation questions at the end of every chapter help readers assess their understanding of the material. Tables and boxes throughout the text make it easy to quickly summarize important information.
