This work is an excellent textbook or review source for tooth morphology, dental histology and embryology. The text is more geared for the education of hygienists than for dentists. The format is clear, to the point, yet it is quite comprehensive for its length. The sidebar clinical examples for the application of the accompanying topic are excellent and helps see the value of the topics covered. I have elected to use it as a text for a dental morphology course in hygiene school.

It was very fast and cheap. This is what I want get when I saw pic. I will get more later.

I did not like this book because the more challenging chapters were confusing (histology and embryology). I could quote what the book said, but I didn't really understand it. My teacher even had a hard time explaining it to us. This book really needs some kind of picture with words, diagrams and arrows so that you can follow the sequence easier. Or maybe it could just go through the sequence of each of the 3 tissues that everything originates from, instead of lumping them all together and letting you figure it out. Maybe a CD with a visual sequence would be helpful too, seeing as how now you just have to try and visualize how all the tissues come together, which can be confusing. I did like the flashcards it came with, however, I think it would have been helpful to put all the same together, for example 8+9 max central incisors on the same card and then just label R and L. Also, be sure to look at the back of the book at the few charts it has for ages of tooth eruption; I didn't even know they were there.

So i had to order this book for class, but only two months in we have found two mistakes, such as mismatched Dental pictures with disturbances(p. 56,57), and definitions (appositional/interstitial pg. 23, which contradict its own definitions in the back of the text.) Other than that pretty helpful book!
