Essential Microbiology for Dentistry, 5th Edition, is a comprehensive textbook introducing dental students to oral microbiota, fundamental immunology, infectious diseases, and cross-infection control.
The volume examines foundational bacterial physiology, taxonomy, and pathogenesis, addressing oral ecosystems alongside specific conditions such as dental caries, periodontal disease, and systemic infections relevant to oral healthcare.
Intended for undergraduate and postgraduate dental students, the text also serves candidates preparing for the ORE, MJDF, and MFDS examinations. Each chapter concludes with Key Fact boxes that summarize core information for revision.
