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. Included are identification exercises using intraoral and extraoral examination, as well as major figures of the text and outlines of most of the permanent teeth. Paired together are tables of tooth dimensions and grided worksheets for purposes of drawing and studying, with evaluation checklists. Additionally, activities for orofacial histology and embryology are included, as well as procedures and form for an initial occlusal evaluation. *Amazon.com* Textbook Notations Book and journal titles recommended for acquisition by: Dental Section of the Medical Library Association (MLA) for support of clinical dentistry.
