Product Description:  
 
THE ANATOMICAL BASIS OF DENTISTRY, 2/e, is a comprehensive textbook of gross anatomy specifically tailored for undergraduate dental students. Unlike most anatomy books, this text highlights those regions of the head and neck that are of clinical relevance to the dental student. It follows the curriculum of the course in gross anatomy that every dental student must complete. Therefore, chapters dealing with the abdomen, back, and thorax are included. New, expanded coverage of the limbs has leant itself to two brand new chapters: The Upper Limb and The Lower Limb. Correlations are drawn between the basic science of applied anatomy and the clinical practice of dentistry. Applied anatomy is included throughout the book and in a separate chapter to help students retain a clear picture when these structures are encountered later on in their clinical years. The art program has been completely reworked resulting in digitized illustrations of the highest quality, most in a striking two-color format. Also included are 32 pages appearing in full color, emphasizing important concepts and anatomy of the skull and regions of the head.

3 out of 5 stars.  The Anatomical Basis of Dentistry, March 26, 2008
This book is good, not great, but good. It has lots of great information and very clear shematic diagrams with a focus on the head and neck. It's a good reference for any dental student to have. This book is NOT an anatomy altas and shouldn't be used as one, it is primarily a text, and it's a nice complement to your atlas.
However, the book has a couple of flaws. The book is organized in such a way that makes it very difficult to find the info that you are looking for. There's lots of great info in the book, it's just tough to find sometimes. Also, I don't feel that it gives the reader a good feeling of the 3D arrangement of structures. The book is also lacking some of the details you will need to know in dental school. There were also quite a few factual conflicts between this book and the information presented in my anatomy lectures. I don't know which was actually correct - the book or the professor.
Overall I'm glad I had this book as a reference in dental school.

5 out of 5 stars.  read it?, October 2, 2007
Our head and neck class required us to get this book and we never even read it...I figure I will keep it for my own reference as anatomy is my favorite subject.

3 out of 5 stars.  Gross Anatomy text for dentists by a dentist, August 29, 2007
This text is useful in the teaching of gross anatomy to dental students, since it was written by a dentist who teaches anatomy to dental students. It is not a "complete" text; i.e., it does not go into much depth in parts of the body not directly related to dentistry. Not to say that it isn't good or accurate, just that if you want an in-depth text covering the entire body, there are better texts out there. But if you want a good text geared toward the dental student, this one works fine

4 out of 5 stars.  Wait for the next addition..., February 9, 2001
While this book is a great help to undergraduate dental students, it does fall short in the incredibly specific structural identifications dental gross anatomy classes call for. However, I have seen the next addition which should be coming out soon and it is greatly improved-especially when it comes to bones (and specific structures) of the head. So buy it now if you are taking a gross anatomy course....but if you can afford to wait, then buy it later when the next addition is available.
