WORKBOOK
Description of Workbook
This companion to the new 2nd edition of Illustrated Dental Embryology, Histology, and Anatomy strengthens students' grasp of must-know information by actively engaging them in
the learning process. The perfect resource for laboratory classes, this workbook provides a wide range of exercises to help students prepare for success in the dental health profession. This edition has been expanded to emphasize problem-based learning, and incorporates the importance placed on case studies by the National Dental Professional Board Examinations.
Table of Contents of Workbook
: Structure Identification Exercises, Glossary Exercises, Guidelines for Tooth Drawing, Infection Control for Extracted Teeth: Guidelines and Technique, Occlusal Evaluation, Initial Occlusal Examination, Case Studies, Flash Cards
Highlights of Workbook
Structure Identification Exercises provide unlabeled figures from the text to allow students to identify the different structures. Guidelines for Tooth Drawing let students draw every kind of permanent tooth, from examples shown by 14 shaded drawings of the permanent teeth with each exercise including a template and graph paper, plus evaluation criteria. Infection Control for Extracted Teeth presents guidelines in an easy to follow numbered list, providing the proper procedures for the collection and inspection of extracted teeth. Occlusal Evaluation and Initial Occulsal Examination show how to perform an occlusal evaluation using the necessary equipment and steps. Glossary Exercises include crossword puzzles and word searches, providing students with a creative way to test their understanding of important terminology. 10 case study exercises reflect the emphasis placed on case study by the National Dental Professional Board Examinations stressing the need to go beyond the basic facts and rote learning to promote a higher level of concept integration. 32 detachable flashcards include clear line drawings of the permanent anterior and posterior teeth, with the five views of the tooth (labial, lingual, mesial, distal, and incisal) on the front and a description on the back.

Textbook Reviews
"The outstanding features of this book are the over 700 color photographs and illustrations... Each chapter contains numerous boxes of information and tables that describe in more detail specific dental conditions... The information in these boxes not only provides interesting facts for the reader, but important relevant information that clarifies essential concepts... The dental anatomy unit is also a highlight of the text...The web-site is beneficial to both the instructor and student. Use of this technology is designed to enhance the presentation of material and interaction with students... The workbook is highly recommended for students, featuring case studies and review exercises." Journal of Dental Hygiene, Winter 2007 (ed 2)

"Comprehensive review ... provides the reader with an applied approach to the subject, something very important for understanding the significance of different structures... Book also would serve as a valuable reference in preparation for standardized examinations at all levels of dentistry." Journal of the American Dental Association, August 1997

"Complete understanding of the subject matter. The most unique characteristic of this book, however, consists of clinical applications on various topics relevant to oral health care. It would also make a valuable resource in a dental office and could easily be used for patient education or as a reference because of its outstanding illustrations." Journal of Dental Hygiene, Spring 1998

Workbook is fun, useful, and brings the topic to life! 
SUMMARY: Workbook that accompanies the textbook is useful tooth students and instructors.

Description of Textbook
Now in full-color, the thoroughly revised this edition presents comprehensive coverage of all the information needed in the study of head and neck anatomy. It presents an understanding of anatomical parts and focal points for injection sites that are essential in the practice of dentistry, dental hygiene, and dental assisting. Special emphasis is placed on such topics as anatomy of the temporomandibular joint, the spread of dental infection, and the anatomical basis of local anesthesia for pain control. Also includes flashcards for students who want to test their knowledge of basic anatomy.

  • Each chapter features clinical photographs and high-quality line art. High-quality illustrations, now in full color, clarify essential concepts. Labeling exercises appear in each chapter to help students identify the different structures and test their knowledge of anatomy. Each chapter features multiple-choice review questions that can be used by the instructor for testing or by the student dental professional for self-study.

  • Each chapter topic is relevant to the present needs of the dental professional and builds on former topics to make it easier for students to move through the text and successfully comprehend the information. Tables throughout the book present and compare similar information to make it more meaningful for students to recognize similarities and differences among related topics.

Textbook Reviews
"This unique publication ... is an accurate and easily readable anatomy text for all health practitioners." Journal of Craniomandibular Practice, April 1996

"Students of anatomy should welcome a presentation different from the traditional." American Journal of Orthodontics, January 1996

"Very good illustrations and straightforward text. Has a clinically-relevant emphasis (including chapters on dental anaesthesia and the spread of dental infection)." Reading List for 1st Year Undergraduates, Leeds Dental Institute, Leeds University, UK.

 
It is the best illustrated book of the head and neck.  This has been an excellent book to clear your all doubts of the anatomy of the head and neck with the best figures I have ever seen and excellent descriptions. This book let u do all the anatomy within very short period of time just by looking at the figures. I find this book extremely useful in my studies and I want u all to know that this book is really really helpful Amazon. com
Great book for boards.  This book is perfect for head and neck anatomy courses and for the National Boards Part  I. The pictures are very clear, the complex anatomy is laid out methodically and logically.  I've used other general anatomy books, but they fall short when it comes to head and neck.  This book does not, and even includes clinical pearls for the future and current dental professional.
