Produktbeschreibung

Master Dentistry: Oral Biology is designed as a revision guide for dental students and offers the 'curriculum essentials' in an easy-to-digest format. Each section is fully illustrated throughout and is supported by extensive self-assessment questions which allow the reader to assess their own knowledge of the topic and perfect their exam techniques. New to the Master Dentistry series, this volume addresses oral anatomy and its related histology, physiology and biochemistry and is perfect for both undergraduate students and post-graduates preparing for the MJDF. 1. Quick reference revision aid for dental students - ideal for exam preparation! 2. Covers the 'essentials' of the subject to a level that is expected with the GDC's curriculum outlined in the First Five Years document. 3. Each chapter provides a brief overview of the topic and lists the essential learning objectives for that area of study. 4. Presents key anatomical, biochemical and physiological material in a useful, integrated, clinically relevant format. 5. Includes extensive self-testing material - true false questions, extended matching questions, picture questions, and essay questions - enabling readers to assess their knowledge and perfect exam techniques. 6. Contains unique, 'mind-map' summary sheets to provide crucial information in a pictorial format to further promote learning.

Autorenporträt

Dr Barry KB Berkovitz qualified in Dental Surgery at the Royal Dental Hospital in London in 1962. There soon followed three years of postgraduate research at Royal Holloway College London. Between 1966 and 2004 his time was equally divided between teaching Gross Anatomy and Dental Anatomy, first at the University of Bristol and later at King's College London. He is the author of numerous books and scientific papers, many related to comparative dental anatomy. His well-known textbook 'Oral Anatomy, Histology and Embryology ' by BKB Berkovitz, GR Holland and BJ Moxham is now reaching its 5th edition, while his most recent popular science book is entitled 'Nothing but the Tooth'.
