By mastering less complicated prosthetics first, students are able to gain the necessary skills and confidence to manage more advanced cases. Key Highlights Eleven clinical scenarios reflect those a student or general dentist will likely encounter in daily practiceBasic science content offered in separate appendices provides relevant scientific background for each case, while keeping the focus on clinical skillsHighly-rated appendices cover practice management topics, including patient FAQsVideos provide step-by-step guidance on performing specific procedures, from duplicating and placing a denture to solving the problems of an unstable mandibular complete denture This guide is an essential learning resource for dental students and an excellent teaching tool for dental school instructors.

Applied Oral Physiology

Robin Wilding

Unique textbook presents and integrates dental sciences essential for the practice of dentistry Applied Oral Physiology: The Integration of Sciences in Clinical Dentistry by prosthodontist, biologist, and educator Robin Wilding integrates basic science topics traditionally taught separately, enabling readers to understand the interconnected relationship between the scientific and clinical aspects of dentistry. On the broadest level, this well-researched, readable, and easy-to-study book brings together related elements of anatomy, physiology, microbiology, and biochemistry. Integration of these areas helps students comprehend the different elements of dental science, thereby improving their ability to understand and treat patient problems. For example, understanding how saliva influences oral health is vital information every dentist needs to know. Key Features An introduction to the structure and related function of teeth and oral soft tissuesThe relationship between oral ecology and biofilms, dental caries, nutrition, and mucosal immunityDiscussion of clinical and neurogenic pain in context with functions including taste, reflexes, mastication, swallowing, and speechA balanced presentation of TMJ dynamics including the role that physical and psychosocial factors play in dysfunctionContent considered to be non-essential is presented in appendices at the end of the book, placing the focus on need-to-know information Topics such as the oral cavity environment, cellular interactions, the extracellular matrix, and bone physiology are covered in one highly relevant resource for clinical dental practice, making this the quintessential text for undergraduate dentistry students.
