The latest edition of the now-classic Oral Anatomy, Histology and Embryology continues to provide readers with all the information required to ensure a full understanding of these essential subject areas as they relate to current dental practice.

Now entering its 40th anniversary, the fifth edition of Oral Anatomy, Histology and Embryology has been thoroughly overhauled, updated and augmented to meet the needs of dental students worldwide. Maintaining the clear writing style and popular atlas-style format that characterized the phenomenal success of earlier editions, the fifth edition is written by dentists for dentists – authors, including King’s College London’s Barry Berkovitz – who know exactly what students need for safe clinical practice.

The “Best book worldwide on oral anatomy” contains a wealth of new illustrations, many of them previously unpublished. Chapters now also come with helpful overviews to summarize the topic and place it into wide context while learning objectives help students focus on key areas.

Now available with new pedagogic features and an enhanced illustration program, Oral Anatomy, Histology and Embryology 5th edition also comes with a free online program containing a wide selection of MCQs and additional learning exercises to allow readers to test and reinforce their knowledge.
