What human teeth can tell us about our evolution, development, and behavior . . . This fascinating, accessible study will “put a smile on your face with its weird facts about primate dentistry and the shrinking grins of modern-day humans” (Washington Post). Our teeth have intriguing stories to tell. These sophisticated time machines record growth, diet, and evolutionary history as clearly as tree rings map a redwood's lifespan. Each day of childhood is etched into tooth crowns and roots—capturing birth, nursing history, environmental clues, and illnesses. The study of ancient, fossilized teeth sheds light on how our ancestors grew up, how we evolved, and how prehistoric cultural transi...
About the Book: The word “DEFINITION” means a description of the exact meaning of a word or an idea. Definitions play a major role in understanding the subject of Paediatric and Preventive Dentistry as it helps the students to grasp the basic concepts and utilize them while dealing with children. The scope of Paediatric Dentistry is very vast and during the course of study one comes across numerous terminologies given by various authors which makes it very difficult for students to comprehend them. Therefore a compilation of all the definitions is the need of the hour and a serious attempt has been made to streamline them in this hand book along with the author name and year in which it is published. This enables the users an easy access to reading and also laborsaving.
This book follows a precursor volume devoted to biological calci?cation, - sued by the CRC Press, Boca Raton (Florida) in 1992. Several basic aspects of the calci?cation process were analyzed in it by outstanding authors who had unquestioned competence in their respective research areas. Its main aim was that of giving readers access to a series of papers which, even though they discussed divergent aspects of biological calci?cations drawn from the study of systems as different as vertebrate skeletons and mollusks, in vitro cultures and unicellular organisms, ectopic calci?cation and urinary stones, provided elements permitting a coherent approach to a comprehensive view of the calci?cation ...

The techniques of freeze fracture and deep etching—techniques for the examination of the ultrastructure of rapidly frozen biological specimens by transmission electron microscopy—have profoundly influenced our understanding of the functional organization of the cell. Rapid Freezing, Freeze Fracture, and Deep Etching guides the reader through the principles of these techniques and gives detailed examples of their application in biomedical research. The book is organized into three sections. The first covers the fundamentals of freeze fracture and deep etching, with a discussion of basic principles for those new to the field, and an entire chapter on the equipment currently available for f...
This text is a compilation of presentations by world-wide experts that were given during the Sixth International Conference on the Chemistry and Biology of Mineralized Tissues, which was held in Vittel, France in November 1998. These proceedings represent advances in this specialized area and should be useful for both clinicians and researchers in bone biology and chemistry.
