"This book's purpose is to teach new generations of oral health practitioners oral histology with a focus on structure-function relationships.... [It] starts with oral tissues and expands into topics such as embryology and the development of the stomatognathic system. After this, it delves into detail about each tissue type, such as bone, pulp, and dentin. One unique feature of this book is that it includes a chapter about facial growth and development, which is commonly encountered in orthodontics. The writing style is exceptionally clear and provides strong foundational knowledge,... the material is well organized and logically progresses as one continues through the chapters.... This work has high quality histological photographs that use different microscopy techniques-each figure is well labeled and understandable.... The best feature of this book is the high-quality photos,... the print quality is superior to other similar texts.... recommend[ed] as a reference text for students in dental school and hygiene school."
