The Teeth of Non-Mammalian Vertebrates: Form, Function, Development and Growth, Second Edition is devoted to the teeth and dentitions of living fishes, amphibians, and reptiles. This book presents a comprehensive survey of the wide variety of tooth forms among non-mammalian vertebrates, based on descriptions of approximately 450 species belonging to about 170 families.This latest edition discusses the functional morphology of feeding, the attachment of teeth, and the relationship of tooth form to function, with each chapter accompanied by a comprehensive, up-to-date reference list. Following the descriptions of the teeth and dentitions in each class, four chapters review current topics with considerable research activity: tooth development; tooth replacement; and the structure, formation, and evolution of the dental hard tissues. The Teeth of Non-Mammalian Vertebrates: Form, Function, Development and Growth, Second Edition is authored by internationally recognized teachers and researchers in the field. This new edition reflects the resurgence of interest in the dentitions of non-mammalian vertebrates as experimental systems to help understand genetic changes in evolution of teeth and jaws.

"The overall structure of the book remains unchanged, featuring eight chapters (Chapters 1-8) describing the unique dentitions of each group of nonmammalian vertebrates, along with three chapters (Chapters 9-11), which focus on general aspects of teeth. The book is beautifully illustrated, including line drawings, diagrams, and photographs. In this updated edition, every chapter benefits from the inclusion of new photographs and diagrams, and replacing those which were not satisfactory, allowing the reader a much better comprehension of the topic. I really enjoyed and found the photographs and explanations of the bony fishes and snakes particularly captivating. And much to my delight, every chapter is meticulously referenced.... In summary, this book would be a valuable addition to any dental library, especially for clinicians and researchers working with or engaged in the study of nonmammalian vertebrates. My sincere appreciation goes to the authors for producing this second edition, which I found to be a wonderful read." --David Clarke
