The Anantomical Basis of Dentistry

This is a comprehensive textbook of gross anatomy specifically tailored for undergraduate dental students. Unlike most anatomy books, this text highlights those regions of the head and neck that are of clinical relevance to the dental student. Chapters dealing with the abdomen, back, and thorax are included. New, expanded coverage of the limbs has lead to two brand new chapters: The Upper Limb and The Lower Limb. Correlations are drawn between the basic science of applied anatomy and the clinical practice of dentistry.
