Reviews
From Jean-Francois Bedard
This the third edition of a
basic introduction to gross and developmental anatomy for dental students. "This
book is dedicated to dental students and is meant to provide a textbook
containing all the gross anatomy necessary for the practice of dentistry and its
major specialties, with an emphasis on head and neck, thorax, and nervous
system. It is assumed that the reader is taking or has taken a practical course
in topographical anatomy, preferably one based on dissection. "Graduates
preparing for board exams and/or certification exams and postgraduate students
will find this practical textbook useful. "With the exception of a few
reproductions of radiographs, this book contains exclusively anatomical
schematic representations, some of them in color. The book includes an
introduction, developmental anatomy, thorax, head and neck, central nervous
system, and appendixes. The anatomy of the dentition, the limbs, and the abdomen
were deliberately omitted. An introduction to radiological anatomy of the head
is featured. "The original concepts behind many illustrations are extremely
interesting and lead to an easy to understand, thus to remember approach to
anatomy. A good review of the systems is presented; the sections on head and
neck anatomy and cranial nerves are particularly well constructed and presented.
