Master dentistry: oral anatomy, histology, physiology and biochemistry v. 3 Oral biology

Master Dentistry: Oral Biology is designed as a revision guide for dental students and offers the 'curriculum essentials' in an easy-to-digest format. Eachsection is fully illustrated throughout and is supported by extensive self-assessment questions which allow the reader to assess their own knowledge of thetopic and perfect their exam techniques. New to the Master Dentistry series, this volume addresses oral anatomy and its related histology, physiology and biochemistry and is perfect for both undergraduate students and post-graduates preparing for the MJDF.
