Full Description
Get a thorough understanding of head and neck anatomy needed to perform dental examinations and procedures! Illustrated Anatomy of the Head and Neck, 7th Edition, is an essential resource offering a fully illustrated and clinically focused approach to the complex anatomy of the head and neck. Chapters are organized by body systems and include coverage of the administration of local anesthesia and the spread of dental infection. With new content that features realistic dental patient figures, updated examination techniques, and a stronger emphasis on patient health and diversity, this edition provides you with current knowledge and the skills needed for competency examinations, leading to success in clinical practice.
Comprehensive coverage includes all the content needed for a thorough introduction to the orofacial anatomic foundation.
Outstanding figures feature closeup skull photographs and associated detailed anatomic illustrations, as well as clear imaging and clinical scenarios.
Helpful learning features in each chapter include key terms with phonetic pronunciations and an accompanying glossary.
Quick-reference tables and flow charts provide instant access to essential information.
Clinical Considerations Discussions relate common atypical and abnormal findings to everyday clinical general dental practice as well as dental specialty practice.
Learning tools on the companion Evolve website include enhanced core concept discussions, as well as chapter quizzes and review and assessment concept lists for upcoming competency examinations.
Expert oral biology author shares wide-ranging experience and offers valuable clinical insights and guidance.
NEW! Thorough introduction to orofacial anatomic foundations with realistic dental patient figures and updated terminology concepts allows for a complete understanding of the basis for designations of structures.
NEW! Discussions of the latest head and neck examination and local anesthetic topics include the most effective clinical methods in both areas.
NEW! Evidence-based research discusses bone fractures, common muscle and nerve pathologic conditions, temporomandibular joint disorders, and workup for infection during patient care.
NEW! Expanded coverage of the latest insights includes advances in head and neck imaging and lymphatic changes with cancer.
