Organized from A to Z, this comprehensive new resource defines almost 7,000 words rented to the dental profession. Carefully edited to reflect current usage, Mosby's Dental Dictionary covers all areas of dentistry and includes words related to the basic, clinical, and behavioral sciences; drugs; equipment; office management; and medical terms related to the dental team's interest and involvement in a patient's medical problems. Words whose definitions benefit from visual clarification are accompanied by illustrations. Cross references are used within definitions to direct the reader to other terms whose subject matter is complementary to that term. Illustrations in an appendix depict craniofacial anatomy. Another appendix presents the ADA Code of Dental Procedures.
