Orban's Oral Histology & Embryology by G. S. Kumar BDS MDS, S.N. Bhaskar BDS DDS MS PhD Ed Hardcover

Product Description:


First published in 1944, Orban’s Oral Histology and Embryology has become the classic text for successive generations of dental students. While retaining the same fundamentals and lucid writing style, this book reflects the current advances and latest curriculum offered in Indian universities. In fourteenth edition, all the chapters have been thoroughly revised and updated discussing biological aspects of oral tissues and emphasizing on clinical relevance of oral histological aspects Table of Contents Preface to the fourteenth edition An overview of oral tissues Development of tooth Enamel Dentin Pulp Cementum Periodontal ligament Alveolar bone Temporomandibular joint Maxillary sinus
