Book Description
This book provides information on nomenclature, tooth numbering systems, tooth morphology, and anatomy and stages of tooth formation. It continues with root canal morphology and anatomy of incisors, canines, premolars, and molars. External and internal anatomies of mandibular permanent incisors and maxillary permanent first molars are presented according to a literature review. Orofacial structures affecting tooth morphology are discussed in detail. The book ends with the evolution of dental implant shapes and todays custom root analog implants.

Woelfel's Dental Anatomy

Book Description
A core anatomy textbook for dentistry, dental hygiene, and dental assisting students, Woelfel's Dental Anatomy provides in-depth coverage of tooth structure, tooth function, morphology, anatomy, and terminology. Revised for greater readability, this Seventh Edition includes more material on the clinical application of tooth morphology and features 690 illustrations, twice as many as the previous edition. Content includes an updated operative dentistry chapter, a new section on sketching teeth in occlusion, and a chart on geometric tooth shapes covered on the National Board Examination for Dental Anatomy and Occlusion. This edition also includes more end-of-chapter review questions and new question sections.

Dental Functional Morphology

Author: Peter W. Lucas
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521562362
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 384

Book Description
Dental Functional Morphology offers an alternative to the received wisdom that teeth merely crush, cut, shear or grind food and shows how teeth adapt to diet. Providing an analysis of tooth action based on an understanding of how food particles break, it shows how tooth form from the earliest mammals to modern-day humans can be understood using very basic considerations about fracture. It outlines the theoretical basis step by step, explaining the factors governing tooth shape and size and provides an allometric analysis that will revolutionize attitudes to the evolution of the human face and the impact of cooked foods on our dentition. In addition, the basis of the mechanics behind the fracture of different types of food, and methods of measurement are given in an easy-to-use appendix. It will be an important sourcebook for physical anthropologists, dental and food scientists, palaeontologists and those interested in feeding ecology.

Dental Morphology for Anthropology

Author: Heather Edgar
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1315300826
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 203

Book Description
This work provides the first-ever comprehensive update to the Arizona State University Dental Anthropology System (ASUDAS). Drawing upon her extensive experience in informatics, curating data, and dental morphological data acquisition, Edgar has developed standardized images and descriptions of dental morphological variants that are accessible and user friendly. The manual provides nearly 400 illustrations that indicate ideal expressions of each dental trait. These drawings are coupled with over 650 photographs of real teeth, indicating real world examples of each expression. Additionally, trait descriptions have been written to be clear, comparative, and easy to apply. Together, the images and descriptions are presented in a standardized form for quick and clear reference. All of these modifications to ASUDAS make it more usable by students and professionals alike. In addition to these features of the manual, the text makes a brief but strong argument for why dental morphology will continue to be a useful tool in biological anthropology through the 21st century.

The Anthropology of Modern Human Teeth

Author: G. Richard Scott
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1316805719
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 432

Book Description
All humans share certain components of tooth structure, but show variation in size and morphology around this shared pattern. This book presents a worldwide synthesis of the global variation in tooth morphology in recent populations. Research has advanced on many fronts since the publication of the first edition, which has become a seminal work on the subject. This revised and updated edition introduces new ideas in dental genetics and ontogeny and summarizes major historical problems addressed by dental morphology. The detailed descriptions of 29 dental variables are fully updated with current data and include details of a new web-based application for using crown and root morphology to evaluate ancestry in forensic cases. A new chapter describes what constitutes a modern human dentition in the context of the hominin fossil record.
