A sound grounding in anatomy is required at undergraduate level in dentistry. The head and neck are so densely packed with complex anatomical structures, it's easy to get bogged down in unnecessary details while missing others that are more clinically relevant. This book aims to distil head and neck anatomy to its essence. Laid out in a succinct and logical way, with clear diagrams that help the reader to conceptualise the three-dimensional jigsaw puzzle of head and neck anatomy.

The Oxford Handbook of Head and Neck Anatomy offers a comprehensive quick reference guide with over 400 schematic colour and grey-scale illustrations. Written and illustrated throughout with an awareness of the difficulties faced in linking the anatomy on the page with real cases seen in day-to-day clinical practice, this handbook is an essential resource for students at all levels.
