Dentistry is a field that requires a deep understanding of the neuroscience of the orofacial region to provide effective treatment and care to patients. Neuroscience of Dentistry by Barbara J. O Kane and Laura C. Barritt is a comprehensive guide that provides foundational knowledge on neural mechanisms of the orofacial region and associated pain pathways. The book is organized in two parts, covering basic neuroscience and orofacial neuroscience. Part one includes four units on the central nervous system, brain and spinal cord gross anatomy, sensory systems, and motor systems. Part two features three units focused on orofacial structures and tissues, dental structures, and orofacial pain and anesthesia. Each chapter includes an introductory overview and learning objectives, concise, high-yield illustrations, schematics, charts, and tables, helpful overviews at the beginning of each chapter, and national board style questions at the end of each chapter. This is a must-have resource for dental students taking neuroscience during their first or second year of dental school and will also benefit other health science and dental hygiene students.
