Sommario/riassunto

Fundamentals of Oral Histology and Physiology is a landmark new text streamlining the essentials of histology and physiology into one clinically accessible textbook. Written for predoctoral dental students, the book brings together structure, function, and clinical correlations for maximum retention and ease of use.  Assuming a background in basic biologic sciences, this text focuses on the histology and physiology that students need to know to practice dentistry and to



understand and evaluate the current literature, without repeating basic information learned in other courses.
