The updated 8th edition of this classic reference provides a visually-oriented presentation of dental macromorphology and evidence-based chronologies of the human dentitions, while reflecting definitive shifts in modern dental practice. New features include an enhanced reader-friendly approach, new color illustrations, and a greater emphasis on clinical applications. A new, interactive CD-ROM offers three-dimensional animations of masticatory movements - including tooth contact relationships and temporomandibular joint movements - that bring the text`s illustrations to life. Plus, an interactive mock examination mimics the National Board exam for outstanding review and practice.
* Essential concepts of occlusion relevant to restorative dentistry are covered.
* Evidence-based chronologies of the human dentitions provide research standards for tooth development and eruption.
* Dimensions of teeth from all aspects are considered in relation to space problems and arch size.
* Discussion of bony supporting structures provides information necessary for oral surgery, periodontics, and dental implants.
* Detailed descriptions and illustrated morphologic features of usual/unusual teeth essential for learning biologic variation of tooth morphology.
* Radiographs and pulp chamber and canal morphology in sectioned teeth provide an excellent reference for root canal therapy.
* Clinically useful chronologies show the age of attainment to avoid damage to developing teeth.
* Age prediction chronologies can be used to assess the unknown age of a patient.
* Periodontal therapy is discussed in detail, outlining the relationship of tooth morphology to the periodontium.
