This is a well intentioned book, plagued with errors.
We recently used this book in a dental hygiene program and found it very frustrating.The self instructional format was fairly well plotted out, and the intentions of the book as a program of study were admirable. However, as a class, we found many errors and contradictions in the text. My personal advice would be to wait for a next edition when more throughediting has been accomplished.

A good introduction into dental anatomy.
This book is an excellent resource for anyone wishing an introduction tothe topic of dental anatomy.I think any first year dental student wouldfind this especially helpful.The text is divided up into modules, andthen into frames, with the answers to questions within the frames locatedin the margin.The book is very good about reinforcing terms that may notbe familiar to the beginning student of dentistry or to the layman. However, I do not recommend this book for someone who has had a course indental anatomy.I initially bought the book as a study aid for part one ofthe dental national boards.Having had dental anatomy coursework, as wellas other courses which used the same information as a foundation, I foundthe reinforcement of terms I already knew to be rather tedious.I thinkthat if I had found it before starting dental school though, it would havebeen much more valuable to me. ...

Concise, Unbiased Information
This book provides a very useful guide for patients contemplating dental implants. It is clearly written, printed in large typeface and gives just the right amount of information to help potential implant patients make up their minds.
Very informative
I had a general idea about how dental implants work, but this book really educated me. If you're thinking about implants, this book will really help you understand what to expect. Easy to read and understand.

The only book you'll need to read on the subject
I have heard so much about dental implants in the past few years, with more people asking for them, and more dentists offering them. I have a crown that really should be replaced, and I wanted to get an implant. This seemed like the best book to read on the subject, based on the title, so I got a copy. It's everything the title says. Easy to understand, a quick read and a thorough explanation ... in language that I can understand. Thinking about implants? Read this book! ... Read more

Great tips on taking the boards!
True this book does have inaccuracies, but I also found these in the much touted Dental Hygiene Study Decks.It may be impossible to find any non-fiction book without some inaccuracies, textbooks included!I've heard several questions are thrown out each year from the board exam because of inaccuracies.
Looks nice; but I don't trust it
Found a few errors by p.26 (eg. cardiac is voluntary, skeletal is involuntary?!).These may be isolated instances, but I think the editor should have caught this stuff!Also, some basic biological concepts could be better explained.It's a nice concept and layout, but more images would help, and with the errors...well, as a student, I just don't trust this text to be accurate, and I don't feel I can rely on it for studying!Hopefully, the author and publisher will go back to the drawing board and make some improvements for the next edition.My school has recommended the Mosby book, and so I will stick to that. ...

It's Da Bomb Baby
This is the only text I use for path anymore.Keep the others around for reference, but this is your main source.Lots of good prescriptions in the back.Great organization.Cuts out alot of the padding found in other texts.Don't be fooled by the slim profile, its jam packed with good and USEFUL info.

Excellent review and reference
This atlas provides clear color photos highlighting the classic presentations of pathological lesions in and around the oral cavity. The text descriptions are a bit brief in some cases, but references areprovided for further reading. I find it to be an excellent review andreference. ... Read more

Great Book
I bought this book as a review material for NBDE , It has better text and much more useful photoes, pics and morphlogical outlines than Wheelers, Just skip the head and neck anatomy part and start with dental anatomy section, there is only one regret about this book , occlusion part is not enough for new NBDE , Overall Its well worth the money.

Open Wide
The book opens by summarising head and neck and then oral anatomy before moving onto the main subject of tooth morphology. It then has chapters on eruption, occlusion, dental abnormalities, operative and forensic dentistry. It seems mainly tailored to the pre-clinical student but also provides lots of information about the clinical relevance of anatomy. It also contains many practical exercises that would be of use to a clinical student, like a guide to extra-oral palpation.The bulk of the book (5 chapters on tooth morphology) contains if anything too much information, leaving the reader rather overloaded with facts. It handles the examination of extracted teeth in a logical fashion and would be useful in practical lab sessions. It also contains quizzes and tear-out sheets about tooth morphology. The other chapters in the book make for good introductions to the various subjects, with some excellent diagrams, but do not really cover the depth of knowledge required (e.g. about head and neck anatomy). However, a textbook that summarises many different subjects is certainly a more cost-effective buy than getting 7 or 8 more complete texts. Parts of the book are genuinely interesting. The chapter on dental abnormalities contains the case of a dental exchange student with 23 upper teeth, including 13 molars. Also the chapter on forensics gives an insight into something not normally discussed on the BDS course. In general, quite a good pre-clinical textbook ideal for a student interested in tooth morphology.

the method being strenthened to dental anatomy
I was able to meet this book two years ago,when I was a 1st year of dental school. In that time, I don't know the merits of this book. but when I became 2nd, 3rd years, I was able to find that this book made me strengthento anatomy. this book contain so many informations about an anatomic viewsincluding periodontics,endodontics, minor surgery... Especially rootmorphorlogy is very useful in endodontics. If you read and take this bookas a reference, you will be good at many clinical subjects includingEndodontics, periodontics, some prosthodontics, and minor surgery.
