Rezensionen / Stimmen
"...the textbook continues its legacy as a trusted, authoritative, and indispensable resource for dental students around the world.... Known for its clear and concise explanations, [it] continues to make complex topics accessible and engaging. It is this unique ability to translate complicated anatomical, histological, and embryological concepts into digestible and practical information that has cemented its place in dental school curricula globally.... provides a well-rounded foundation that supports both academic learning and clinical application. The visual elements-carefully crafted diagrams, high-resolution histological images, and annotated illustrations-enhance comprehension and retention, making this textbook not only informative but highly accessible.... For dental students seeking to understand not just the structure of the human body but the exciting scientific frontiers reshaping their field, the sixth edition is more than just a textbook-it's a guide to the future." - Ana Angelova Volponi, (Reader in Regenerative dentistry and the Director of the Postgraduate Program (MSc) in Regenerative dentistry), King's College London, April 2025
"...a comprehensive and accessible textbook that simplifies three complex subjects into one cohesive resource. Ideal for students, it offers clear explanations, diagrams, and photographs to support understanding and learning. Now in its sixth edition, the book has been updated with the revision of most chapters, particularly those chapters on oral histology and development. A new chapter on repair and regeneration of the oro-dental tissues has been added, reflecting an area of current intensive clinical research and promise.... The inclusion of a comprehensive online learning platform, featuring self-assessment questions, updated bibliographies, and reference lists, further enhances the reader's learning experience and aids in exam preparation.... This book provides a comprehensive overview of oral anatomy, histology and embryology making it a valuable resource for both the reader's academic studies and clinical preparation." - Rebecca Finn, British Dental Journal, December 2024
"While this essential textbook will be very familiar to all of the dental team from our undergraduate training, the 6th edition has very significant revisions, with for example a new chapter on repair and regeneration of the oro-dental tissues.... the quality, diversity, and number of images is outstanding, and as highlighted by the authors, there are 70 new illustrations related to clinical cases.... There is not a specialty in dentistry or a registrant group who will not benefit from reading this wonderful textbook.... The anatomical sections, as you might expect, are incredible in their scope and attention to detail.... In summary, this is an outstanding textbook, beautifully illustrated with real-world images and is essential reading for the whole dental team. I cannot recommend it highly enough." - Ewen McColl, (Director of Clinical Dentistry, Peninsula Dental School, University of Plymouth), Dental Update, January 2025
