Editorial Reviews

2 Stars from Doody

This book attempts to provide core information on a broad series of topics primarily related to oral development and histology. In some instances these goals are achieved; however, the main body of text falls short of its purpose. As a target audience, the student will gain some pertinent facts from the text but in the end will need to access definitive information from other sources. Many of the illustrations are done quite well. The number of line drawings could be halved and deliver as strong a message. Many of the drawings lack supporting text and therefore open more questions than are answered. The materials presented generally lack sufficient depth to explain their topics thoroughly. Points presented in some cases are never discussed adequately or at all. At the student level the text does not provide the amount of knowledge necessary for those students to become well-trained. Certain aspects of the book, drawings, and diagrams, for example, may simplify concepts in some instances. In other areas deficiencies may lead to confusion and unanswered questions. The text proves adequate as a brief outline of topics presented. As an in-depth text explaining oral development and histology, it is not successful.
