EAN/UPC/ISBN Code 9783137576013


The central subject matter of this book is the gross and microscopic anatomy of the oral cavity and its associated structures, including the temporomandibular joint. Each section is devoted to a detailed description of one of the tissue systems and its embryologic development. Each section is also concluded with a discussion of the clinical significance of the information presented, thereby giving a clearer insight into the biological basis of treatment in areas such as periodontics, orthodontics, adhesive bonding, and temporomandibular joint function.
