Long description
The first head and neck atlas written specifically for dental students, this new resource uses more than 700 full-color images from the Frank Netter Collection to richly depict all of the key anatomy that's relevant to clinical practice. The Netter head and neck anatomy plates have long been considered the preeminent illustrations of their kind. Now, many of these original plates have been updated, relabeled, and modified to set an even higher standard.
Review
This book has to be recommended for all those wishing to establish the appropriate level of knowledge for the contemporary practice of dentistry and for those wishing to refresh their knowledge. No dental library should be without this book, let alone a dental practice.
-British Dental Journal 202, 50-51 (2007)
This is an excellent resource for dental students. Since students are typically required to purchase an anatomy atlas, this seems like a good all-around resource. It is packed with useful information, and has excellent corresponding images. The clinical correlations help with the mastery of complex material, and will likely be a useful resource for many years following graduation. I highly recommend it, and will be steering my dental students toward it. -- Doody's Book Review Service
