Histopathology of the Teeth and Their Surrounding Structures

Abstract

This is a thorough revision of the first edition, which has been completely rewritten with the inclusion of much new material. Many of the changes in arrangement and content are such as to conform with the recommendations of the Report of the Curriculum Survey Committee of the American Association of Dental Schools. Some of the material included is not strictly histologic in character, as, for example, the first two chapters, on anomalies in the shape and size of the teeth and the physiology and pathology of tooth calcification. This departure is highly commended; indeed, the second chapter should be read carefully by all scientists and practitioners of both medicine and dentistry interested in tooth calcification. The content is liberally inclusive and is a thoroughly adequate presentation of the subject as indicated by the title. The descriptive material is liberally supplemented by well chosen illustrations which are also almost technically perfect.
