4.0 out of 5 stars A reference "must" for holistic appreciation of teeth., May 29, 1998

This review is from: Color Atlas & Textbook of Oral Anatomy: Histology and Embryology (Hardcover)

Berkovitz and coworkers provide pictures, pictures, pictures of exquisite quality. There is no more successful method for teaching histology than through numerous sections coupled with a de-emphasis on description. This text is like having a microscope at your fingertips and pre-dental/medical and graduate students rave about the book. Given the embryological format, the macro and micro portions dovetail quite well. Some dissapointing picture quality of head and neck structures and dental gross anatomy photographs are too small to grasp occlusal morphology. The comparative mammalian dental anatomy section is nice. Missing only is exposure to forensic odontology as applied responsibility for both clinician and academician to explore.

5.0 out of 5 stars Useful textbook for dental educators and researchers., April 22, 1998

By 

Margaret J. Fehrenbach, RDH, MS, Educational ... (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Color Atlas & Textbook of Oral Anatomy: Histology and Embryology (Hardcover)

I found this text useful as a reference text as a dental educator. It is comprehensive and the color histological references are very clearly presented. The photographs of the teeth, as well as the gross anatomical sections, seem slightly out of focus in this edition. Information is presented with references that are further useful and up to date, especially when considering research in the hard dental and neural tissues. I refer to it constantly in my studies.

4.0 out of 5 stars Informative BUT much of the comparative chapter removed!, January 9, 1998

By

This review is from: Color Atlas & Textbook of Oral Anatomy: Histology and Embryology (Hardcover)

Although more updated information has been added to the previous edition, much of the COMPARATIVE PART have been removed. This is disappointing since the chapter was the main reason I bought the book. I also found that the quality of photographs is inferior to the previous edition.
