Product Description
Synopsis
Now in its Tenth Edition, "Permar's Oral Embryology and Microscopic Anatomy" continues to provide comprehensive, yet concise coverage of embryology and histology for dental hygiene and dental assisting professions. It can also be used as an introductory text for dental students. This text begins with the basics of general histology, progresses through the development of the human embryo and fetus, and concludes with a focus on the development of the face and oral cavity. New to this edition are over 40 additional illustrations, including four-color micrographs. High-quality images of microscopic embryonic development and oral anatomy help students identify histologic structures. A new chapter regarding salivary glands includes information about remineralization, demineralization, fluoride, bacterial diseases, and HIV. Clinical aspects of oral tissue are covered to help readers expand their knowledge from basic to clinical sciences and apply fundamental principles. Suggested readings help readers find additional resources.

4.0 out of 5 stars Clinically relevant with excellent illustrations., 28 Nov 2000
By A Customer
The tenth edition of this book is written specifically for students of dental hygiene and dental assisting. The authors do assume that readers will have an understanding of basic biology in addition to human anatomy and tooth morphology. However a knowledge of histology or embryology is not a prerequisite to using this book. The book is divided into 14 chapters, starting with a very basic introduction to general histology. This progresses onto embryology and tooth development. There are also chapters on enamel, dentine, pulp, cementum, periodontal ligament, bone, oral mucous membranes, the gingiva, salivary glands, tooth eruption and the temporomandibular joint. The book is well structured and the chapters are ordered in a very logical manner. It enables the reader to acquire a basic knowledge initially and then progress onto the more detailed and specific chapters. Each chapter is relatively short and is well divided with subtitles and with a brief summary at the end. One of the notable attractions of this book is the excellent illustrations, diagrams and photomicrographs present in both colour and in black and white. I did feel that in some chapters too many photographs were included and tended to distract one from the actual text. However as a whole I feel that this does help to make the book easier to read since this can be a rather tedious subject to understand and learn. The authors make us aware of the clinical relevance of this topic throughout the book, which makes it interesting and relevant. The information is written in a concise and straightforward manner. Although this book is aimed at the dental hygienist and assistant, as a dental student I would probably recommend this book to my colleagues who wish to refresh their knowledge on this subject in addition to being reminded of the clinical relevance. Each chapter contains a small number of good references for any areas which may need to be covered in more detail. If I had bought this book in my first year I feel I would have kept it for the whole of my course since it would be a good reference to refresh my knowledge on histology, tooth development and eruption, the details of which are sometimes easy to forget about! In summary this is a simple, easy to read book which I feel is suitable for dental students, hygienists and assistants. I personally would buy this book since in the past I have found this subject difficult to read about and many histology and embryology texts do not focus on the clinical considerations as this one does.
