The text begins with the basics of general histology, progresses through the development of the human embryo and fetus, and concludes with a focus on the development of the face and oral cavity. New to this edition are: numerous illustrations depicting embryonic development and oral microscopic anatomy; clinical aspects of tissues to help students apply fundamental principles; and suggested readings to help students find additional resources.
