|
Essentials of Microbiology for Dental Students covers the essential
knowledge and understanding of microbiology and immunology for the dental
student. For ease of use the book is broken down into three parts covering
firstly the fundamental principles of microbiology and the host-parasite
interaction, then looking at systemic microbial disease which is relevant to
dentistry, and finally covering oral microbiology. Strongly integrated
throughout, the biology discussed where it is clinically relevant to
medicine and dentistry, and the sections are cross-referenced for ease of
use. This book contains over 300 colour tables and illustrations, both
photographs and line diagrams to aid learning and understanding. |
Readership: Dental students, both undergraduate and postgraduate.
