Woelfel's Dental Anatomy Its Relevance to Dentistry

A market-leading dental anatomy textbook for dental, dental hygiene, and dental assisting students, Woelfel's Dental Anatomy focuses on anatomy of the human mouth and teeth, and is designed to help the student understand the relationship of the teeth to one another, and to the bones, muscles, nerves, and vessels associated with the teeth and face. This text does more than simply explain dental anatomy; it links the anatomy to clinical practice, giving readers a stronger and more practical understanding of tooth structure and function, morphology, anatomy, and terminology. Chapters have been revised and reorganized into three parts—Comparative Tooth Anatomy, Application of Tooth Anatomy in Dental Practice, and Anatomic Structures of the Oral Cavity—to make the material more accessible to dental hygiene programs. The companion website offers Student Resources for an enhanced learning experience with an interactive image bank, image labeling exercises, and PowerPoint presentations. Instructor Resources include a test generator, an interactive image bank, PowerPoint presentations, and answers to the book's critical thinking questions. NEW: Illustrations and ilustrations are full-color to reach the visual learner. Several pedagogical features to help students learn and retain the information, including a chapter topic list, learning objectives, new terms bolded as they are introduced, pronunciations, and summary tables. Learning Exercises help reinforce the topics presented. These exercises are presented within the body of each chapter at intervals where the authors feel an active learning experience would be helpful for you to understand and/or apply the topic. Review Questions with Answers: Many chapters or sections end with a series of review questions to test the learner's mastery of the objectives. These questions, in many cases, cover topics similar to those included on past dental and dental hygiene national examinations. For the convenience of quick and convenient feedback, the answers are presented immediately following the questions. Critical Thinking Questions: Most chapters end with Critical Thinking Questions so students can apply what they've learned in the chapter to answer more complex questions or exercises. Research Data: This text is unique in providing you with both original and reviewed research findings based on the study of thousands of teeth, casts, and mouths. Appendix of Comparative Dental Anatomy: This text's unique appendix is designed to help the learner visualize the many tooth similarities and differences that are often difficult to understand with words alone.
