Mineralized Tissues in Oral and Craniofacial Science is amajor comprehensive update on knowledge in the field of mineralizedtissues in the oral and craniofacial region. Drs. McCauley andSomerman assembled an international team of researchers andclinicians, offering a global perspective on the current knowledgein this field. Basic and clinical correlates reinforce thesignificance of research to clinical diagnoses and therapies,written in a manner that lends easily to their use for case studyteaching venues.
Section 1 features the many aspects of bone in the craniofacialregion, including embryology, cell biology, and stem cell biology.Section 2 focuses on teeth-tooth development, dentin, enamel,cementum, and tooth regeneration. Section 3 discusses theinteraction between bones and teeth, including those associatedwith inflammatory processes, periodontal ligaments, biomechanics,and other impact factors-such as nutrition, metabolic bone diseasesand therapeutic modalities.
The novel approach of linking the basic principles of the celland molecular biology of hard tissues to clinical correlates willappeal to readers at all levels of their research careers, bothstudents and faculty; faculty interested in a comprehensive textfor reference; and clinicians interested in the biologicaspects of bones and teeth.
