Great textbook overall - weaker in histology and embryology., October 29, 2011
By B A

This is a great textbook in that it covers a lot of ground and is therefore a good introduction to various areas relevant to dentistry. However I bought it mainly for the histology and embryology, and my opinion having now started reading Ten Cate's Oral Histology is that this book inferior in this respect.
Embryology/histology sections seem both too detailed (eg. listing a variety signalling molecules and matrix components without necessarily explaining their role) and too weak in painting an overall picture of what is happening. This makes for a slow read where I constantly have sort what is important to know and what's putative conjecture -- I personally had a better experience reading Ten Cate's book (which is also very detailed but perhaps better written).

Gorgeous pictures, too much detail, October 02, 2009
By M. deMuse
|

This book is beautiful -- it has incredibly clear photographs and other illustrations. The down side is it has way too much detail. I am a first year dental student, and I find this book pretty much impossible to read. It's probably somewhat readable for more advanced students/professionals, but it's definitely not for my level.
