Reviews
  • 'The book provides a good, concise summary of many of the traditional preclinical topics. ' - Dental Update
  • 'This is a veritable mine of information in miniature format... an almost indispensable easy reference tome for students everywhere... An outstanding little book; its pocket size belies its usefulness and the mega-contents between its covers that will be really relevant to all. At this cover price it has to be a first-class value buy, essential for every practice library and easily the most concise reference source in these topics for any clinician. ' - Dental Practice
  • 'I highly recommend this book for undergraduate clinical dental students and for those who are working towards postgraduate examinations in particular MFDS and MSc Orth. I think they will find it invaluable. ' - Journal of Orthodontics, Vol 31 (1)
  • 'Although not exhaustive, overall this is a good reference book and especially useful in the pre-clinical years where the basic dental sciences are examined. This is not to say, however, that clinical students wouldn't find this book handy. On the contrary, it is a great way to fill holes in your basic science knowledge to complement clinical understanding. ' - University of Wales College of Medicine Students Union Newsletter

Description
  • Covers each topic on a single page, leaving space opposite for the reader to add their own notes or information
  • Supports students in the first two years of the dental course, remaining a useful reference tool in later years
  • Relates the medical sciences to a clinical dental background
The Oxford Handbook of Applied Dental Sciences covers the medical sciences for the preclinical dental student in a concise and easily accessible format. An international team of experts in dental education and research provide information on the applied basic sciences to ensure a sound understanding of why the medical sciences are relevant to clinical dental practice. Anatomy and development, pain and behavioural sciences, biochemistry, genomics, immunology, microbiology, pathology, and physiology are all covered. Emphasis is placed on advances in the sciences, the changed content of subjects, and the relevance to dental clinical practice, ensuring that this Handbook will provide all the information necessary for a comprehensive understanding of the subject.

Readership: The book will support students in their first two years of the dental course, remaining a useful reference tool in later years. It aims to outline the preclinical sciences as applied to dentistry, relevant to dental qualifying examinations such as BDS and DDS and, in some countries, to higher examinations such as MFDS.
