A Standard Setting Atlas Dedicated to the Complex Structures of the Head and Neck

New York, NY, April 28, 2010 --(PR.com)-- “Head and Neck Anatomy for Dental Medicine,” published by Thieme, focuses on the structures of the head and neck as taught to students of dental medicine. Starting with the extensive coverage of these structures and the pedagogic approach of the three-volume THIEME Atlas of Anatomy, by Michael Schuenke, Erik Schulte, and Udo Schumacher and artists Markus Voll and Karl Wesker, Eric Baker has reorganized, revised, and added new material to create this learning atlas of anatomy for dental medicine.

"...the large format of the illustrations, and the many unique views of the anatomical regions make this an exceptional learning resource," states Eric Baker, Mphil, Department of Basic Science and Craniofacial Biology, NYU College of Dentistry, New York, New York, USA.

The atlas includes more than 900 large, clearly labeled, full-color illustrations and schematics, with descriptive captions, plus more than 90 tables summarizing key information. Each two-page spread is a self-contained guide to a topic and the arrangement of coverage in each region begins with the skeletal framework, adding the muscles, the vasculature, the nerves, and finally presenting the topographic anatomy for a comprehensive overview. Because of the exceptional artwork, explanatory information, and pedagogic approach, the atlas also serves as a reference for practitioners of dental medicine and for students and practitioners working in fields dealing primarily with the head and neck.

“Head and Neck Anatomy for Dental Medicine” comes with access to WinkingSkull.com PLUS, the interactive online study aid with more than 600 full-color illustrations and radiographs from this volume and other Thieme anatomy and radiology publications to review and test anatomy knowledge.

More than 100 dental images from this book have been added to the Thieme Teaching Assistant, a cutting-edge online platform that enables instructors to enhance students’ learning experiences by incorporating dynamic visuals into lectures and presentations.
