Anatomy Of The Head And Neck Applied To Dental Practice

Anatomy is a broad science that is subdivided into other specific branches with the objective of systematizing learning and subsidizing studies directed to the clinic. It is a science that is focused on the macro and microscopic study of the constitution and development of organized beings. Contrary to what many people think, some well-known branches of Medical Sciences - such as Histology and Cytology - are subdivisions of Anatomy. Due to this amplitude of knowledge that permeates Anatomy, today the term Morphology is established in the literature to designate the micro and macroscopic study areas of Anatomy. In dentistry it would be no different. Thus, it is important to emphasize the need to link the study of Human Anatomy to the Dental Clinic, among its various specialties.
