Book Description
This book addresses a critical gap in undergraduate histology education for dental students. While most oral histology textbooks focus on the specific features of oral tissues, they often overlook the fundamental tissues of the human body. However, dental histology curricula often cover both basic human tissues and their unique features within the oral cavity.
To compensate for this gap, this book begins with an in-depth study of the basic tissues of the human body before moving on to the specialized tissues of the oral cavity. This approach ensures that both teachers and students receive a comprehensive understanding tailored to their needs.
The book is designed to be practical, compact and easy to handle, making it ideal for on-the-go study. It is not intended to be a comprehensive treaty but provides concise and essential information in line with the streamlined curricula of modern health sciences education. The content is presented in outline format, giving students a clear overview of each topic and facilitating effective review.
Editorial Reviews
Review
“The book is well structured and successfully delivers core knowledge of histology. The book is a valuable resource for students preparing for exams but also helps practising dentists with an interest into histology apply this to their clinical practice.” (Sinead Sutcliffe, British Dental Journal, Vol. 240 (6), March, 2026)

About the Author
Professor Francisco José Sáez graduated in 1990 with a Ph.D. in biology at the University of Alcalá (Spain). After a position as a Postdoc at Paris (France) and Senior Lecturer in Cell Biology at the University of the Basque Country UPV/EHU (Spain), he is since 2007 Professor of Histology at UPV/EHU (Spain). His work focuses on spermatogenesis and early embryos. At present, Prof. Sáez is integrated in the Signaling Lab of the UPV/EHU and his projects focus on the role of proprotein convertases of the testis in the context of cancer. For more than thirty years, he has been teaching cell biology, developmental biology and histology for degrees in biology, biochemistry, medicine and dentistry. He is a member of the board of the Spanish Society of Histology and Tissue Engineering (SEHIT) and a member of the editorial board of the journal Histology and Histopathology.
Professor Iker Badiola graduated in 2001 with a Ph.D. in biology at the University of the Basque Country UPV/EHU (Spain). After position as Senior Lecturer in Cell Biology at the UPV/EHU, he is since 2024 Professor of Histology at the same university. His work focuses on cancer research. Prof. Badiola is the leader of the cancer division in the Signaling Lab of the UPV/EHU and is involved in the study of tumor microenvironment in liver metastasis. He has been teaching cell biology and histology for degrees in medicine, physiotherapy and dentistry. He is the founder of the biotechnology companies Innoprot SL and Nanokide Therapeutics SL.
