This book addresses a critical gap in undergraduate histology education for dental students. While most oral histology textbooks focus on the specific features of oral tissues, they often overlook the fundamental tissues of the human body. However, dental histology curricula often cover both basic human tissues and their unique features within the oral cavity.
To compensate for this gap, this book begins with an in-depth study of the basic tissues of the human body before moving on to the specialized tissues of the oral cavity. This approach ensures that both teachers and students receive a comprehensive understanding tailored to their needs.
The book is designed to be practical, compact and easy to handle, making it ideal for on-the-go study. It is not intended to be a comprehensive treaty but provides concise and essential information in line with the streamlined curricula of modern health sciences education. The content is presented in outline format, giving students a clear overview of each topic and facilitating effective review.
