This is a book from which undergraduate and graduate students of dentistry and oral medicine should derive great benefit. It is an introduction to the embryology, morpholgy and teratolgy of the masticatory apparatus and the head built round it. The text has been designed to fill a hiatus in dental education by giving an account of craniofacial growth, starting at the beginning of embryonic development. This developmental approach to normal anatomy helps throw light on the apparently involved structural make-up of the head and neck and will help a heavily burdened student to reconcile the many divergent views on the subject.
