Dental anatomy is a field of anatomy dedicated to the study of human tooth structures. The development, appearance, andclassification of teeth fall within its purview. Tooth formation begins before birth, and the teeth's eventual morphology isdictated during this time. Dental anatomy is also a taxonomical science: it is concerned with the naming of teeth and thestructures of which they are made, this information serving a practical purpose in dental treatment. Dental anatomy andhistology are taught as a combined subject to undergraduate dental students. The book completely covers all the topicsrelated to this field. It is a guide in which each topic is presented along with the clearly drawn color diagrams for quick andeasy understanding of the subject and long retention of the facts useful in the university examinations. The text book iswritten with a view to present the subject to the undergraduate students and it is a humble attempt to fill the niche for thestudents of dentistry with the current information about the development, structure and function of teeth and associatedstructures. It is written in simplified manner for easy assimilation of the students. This book contains considerable number ofcolored photographs, photomicrographs, illustrations, tables and diagrams, believing strongly that anatomical andhistological textbooks must present information in a visual format. This book aims at bridging the gap between what astudent knows and what he/she ought to know to write in the theory examination. It is presented in simple and easy tounderstand language.
