Oral Bioscience is an introduction to the physiology and biochemistry of the mouth for dental students. Putting oral structure and metabolism into the context of oral function, it offers a broad and integrated coverage of the subject, including:

Mechanisms of hard tissue mineralisation
Physiology and biochemistry of the dental pulp
The Role of diet and fluoride in caries
Mechanisms of oral sensation
Food transport through the oral cavity

Illustrated throughout with micrographs and clear line diagrams, it stresses the relevance to clinical dentistry of the basic science.
