This illustraed text aims to offer dental hygiene students and practitioners the knowledge of head and neck anatomy they need. Explanations and examples demonstrate the spatial relationships of structures: anterior-posterior, medial-lateral, superior-inferior. The text offers study aides including chapter outlines and objectives, a glossary, identification exercises, review questions (with answers at the end of the book), a pronunciation guide and tables. It emphasizes specific anatomy of the temporomandibular joint for an understanding of disorders associated with it. Clinical chapters on use of local anesthesia and the spread of dental infection are included. Clinical photographs and line drawings depict specific anatomical structures.
