Colyer's Variations and Diseases of the Teeth of Animals

First published in 1936, Colyer's Variations and Diseases of the Teeth of Animals drew extensively on the material housed in the Odontological Museum of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, and quickly became an indispensable reference for students and research workers in zoology, archaeology and veterinary science, as well as human dentistry. In this second edition, Colyer's successors at the Odontological Museum have fully revised the text in the light of new knowledge, while preserving the best of Colyer's own material. The text has been rearranged taxonomically and a new introduction reviewing conceptual advances in the field since Colyer's time has been added. The numerous illustrations, classics of their kind, have been reproduced to a high standard from Colyer's originals and many new figures have been incorporated. This revision will introduce Colyer's material to a new audience, for whom it represents a comprehensive and fully-referenced survey of abnormalities and diseases of the teeth and jaws of animals.

"...most certainly should be in the hands of every veterinarian specializing in the field of dentistry. It also should serve as an excellent resource of information on variations and diseases of the teeth for those working with a variety of animal species, including laboratory animals." Journal of Veterinary Medical Education "The pictures and beautiful illustrations complement the text remarkably well, and more than a thousand references make it unique in its field." Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association "This magnificent description of normal dentition and dental problems found in all species of animals is superb. The natural history that is included with each animal class is very fascinating and enlightening...For any one interested in teeth, this is an unbelievable collection." John E. Saidla, Quarterly Review of Biology "This marvelous tome, while mainly concerned with the dentition of living mammals, contains some mention of the paleontological literature. Moreover, whereas the original book was restricted to mammals, the authors of this edition have thought the non-mammals to be of too much interest and importance to ignore completely...at long last, available again. It should continue to have a wide readership from anthropology to zoology, including dentists, veterinarians, and of course, dental anthropologists." Daris R. Swindler, Dental Anthropology Newsletter "This is the world's standard text on comparative odontology. If you deal with animals and teeth, this text is a must. Well written." Journal of the American Association of Forensic Dentists
