- More than 800 full-color images include detailed, well-labeled anatomical illustrations as well as clinical photographs. - Bolded key terms draw students' attention to essential terminology. - Practical appendices include Review of Tooth Morphology with a concise review of tooth development from in utero to adolescence to adulthood; and Tooth Traits of the Permanent Dentition with tables for each tooth providing detailed information such as tooth notation, dimensions, position of proximal contacts, heights, and curvatures. - Labeling exercises challenge students to identify tooth structures and facial anatomy with drag-and-drop labels. - Chapter on clinical applications includes practical applications and case studies to prepare students for exams. Topics include root planing and scaling; extraction techniques and forces; relationship of fillings to pulp form and enamel form; and occlusal adjustment of premature occlusal contacts and arch form in relationship to bite splint designs.
