Preface
Dental anatomy forms the basis for all the fields of dentistry. Textbook of Dental Anatomy, Physiology and Occlusion is an
attempt towards meeting the enormous challenge of providing an all comprehensive, yet simple-to-understand coverage of
Dental anatomy, Physiology and Occlusion.
Detailed morphology of deciduous and permanent teeth is narrated in a pointwise and systematic manner which is
easier to understand and recall. Apart from the images of typical teeth specimen, numerous clinical photographs are added
to demonstrate common variations, anomalies and practical relevance of tooth morphology. Numerous tables, boxes and
flow charts throughout the text make understanding and recalling easier. The morphology of each permanent tooth is summa-
rized using flow charts that give the major anatomic landmarks of that tooth and a brief summary of the major features on all
five aspects of that tooth.
Separate chapters are dedicated to tooth notation systems, chronology of tooth development, differences between
primary and permanent dentitions, pulp morphology, temporomandibular joint and occlusion. Dental students are intro-
duced to the fascinating aspects of dental anatomy such as forensic odontology, evolution of teeth, dental anthropology and
comparative dental anatomy.
A separate chapter on tooth carving is included that explains the rationale, armamentarium, basic principles and step-by-
step carving procedure. Carving technique for different types of teeth is made self-explanatory using life size high resolution
images of actual wax blocks in different stages of carving. The ancillary DVD-ROMs contain visual demonstration of carving
procedure for various teeth.
Numerous high quality photographs and professionally done graphic illustrations with informative legends make the text
easy to grasp. Incorporation of numerous tables, flow charts and boxes throughout the textbook will give the reader a conve-
nient summary of the key features and also make reviewing easier.
Multiple choice questions (MCQs) given at the end of each chapter in the textbook and the additional MCQs in ancillary
DVD-ROMs aid the students in revision and preparation for viva voce and competitive examinations.
It is hoped that the concepts of dental anatomy, physiology and occlusion presented in a simple and logical style in the
book will benefit all the undergraduate and postgraduate students of dental sciences and dental auxiliaries.
