CURRENT LITERATURE
ing and other variables considered as potential cofounders (antioxidant intake, sunlight exposure, cardiovascular disease and family history of AMD) were measured. Logistic regression, adjusting for age and sex, and two-way analysis of variance were used to assess the association between stages of ARM and smoking. Current tobacco smoking was found to significantly associated with late AMD and early ARM. The increased risk of late AMD and early ARM was higher when comparing current smoking with those who had never smoked, than with people who were currently nonsmokers but who may have smoked in the past. Component of late AMD were significantly associated with smoking. Among women, geographic atrophy showed a stronger association with smoking, while for men the association with neovascular AMD was stronger. The strongest risk was found for current smokers. The study supports the hypothesis that smoking may lead directly to increased oxidative damage to outer retinal cells. The authors concluded that there may be potential benefits of preventing the progression of early ARM to the late severe visual loss by targeting antismoking education to people who are current smokers and have signs of early ARM.-I.E.

New Book Annotations Endosseous Implants: Scientific and Clinical Aspects. Watzek G (ed), with 16 contributors. Chicago, IL, Quintessence Pub, 1996, 407 pages, 635 illustrations (474 color), $210.00. Both the basic scientific principles of implantology and the clinical aspects of surgery and prosthetic restoration are provided in this text. Chapters are devoted to anatomy, diagnosis, materials, surface preparation, biomechanics, surgical techniques, and prosthodontic and periodontal aspects. The numerous photographs and drawings add to the clarity of the presentation. Maxillofacial Rehabilitation: Prosthodontic and Surgical Considerations. Beumer J, Curtis TA, Marunick M (eds), with 39 contributors. St. Louis, MO, Ishiyaku EuroAmerica, Inc, 1996, 546 pages, illustrated, $195.00. This book brings together the various aspects of maxillofacial rehabilitation in a broad, multidisplinary approach. Included are behavioral and psychosocial issues, discussions of cancer chemotherapy and radiation therapy, management of acquired defects and developmental conditions, speech rehabilitation, cleft lip and palate, cranial implants, and maxillofacial trauma. Most of the chapters have been revised or rewritten and several new chapters have been added, broadening the scope of the presentation. Oral Implantology: Basics, IT1 Hollow Cylinder System (ed 2). Schroeder A, Sutter F, Buser D, Krekeler G (eds), with 15 contributors. New York, Theime Medical Publishers, 1996, 510 pages, 490 illustrations, paperback, $30.00. This book provides extensive information about the various aspects of this non-submerged implant system. In addition to basic chapters on anatomic considerations and metal-
lurgy, there are discussions of the development of the implant system, tissue response, diagnosis and treatment planning, surgical procedure, implant prosthodontics, periimplant problems and other complications and their management, and long-term results. Although the emphasis in this book is on the nonsubmerged implant, much of the material has application to the general field of implantology. Rhinoplasty: The Art and the Science (Vol I, II) Tardy ME. Philadelphia, PA, Saunders, 1991, 851 pages, illustrated. These two volumes provide comprehensive coverage of the various aspects of rhinoplasty. A combination of text and atlas, it offers basic information as well as detailed descriptions of the various surgical procedures. The latter is supplemented with views of fresh cadaver dissections and accurate color drawings. A unique feature is the section in which a series of patients are presented, followed by a visual graphic representation of the surgical repair, a step-by-step description of the operative technique, and an analysis of the results. Clinical Decision Making and Treatment Planning in Osseointegration. Engelman MJ. Chicago, IL, Quintessence pub, 1996, 197 pages, illustrated in color, paperback. The seven categories of restorative problems faced in dental implantology are outlined in terms of goals of the procedure, presurgical needs, and surgical and prosthodontic considerations. Each category is then illustrated with case presentations. The advantages, disadvantages, and contraindications of the various treatment options are presented. There are also sections on patient identification, patient education, patient economy and an overview of treatment planning. Esthetic, Soft Tissue, and Peridontal Considerations for Endosseous Implants. Fridrich, KL (ed), with 12 contributors. Oral Maxillofac Surgical Clinics of North America, Volume 8, No 3, 1996, Philadelphia, PA, Saunders, 140 pages, illustrated. With the increasing emphasis on soft tissue as well as hard tissue considerations in successful implantology, this book provides insight into many of the former situations of importance to the oral and maxillofacial surgeon. Included are discussions of soft tissue interaction with biomaterials, soft tissue complications and their management, gingival and connective tissue grafting, and surgical considerations to enhance esthetics. In addition, there are chapters on the relation of bone grafting to esthetic implant restoration and the role of lasers in dental implantology. Essentials of Facial Growth. Enlow PH, Hans MG, with 3 contributors. Philadelphia, PA, Saunders, 1996, 303 pages, illustrated, paperback. The relationship of facial growth to various clinical problems is explored in this compact text. Covered are general aspects of craniofacial growth and its control, development of the jaws and basicranium, facial variations, TMJ development, the developmental aspects of malocclusion, and ethnic considerations. These concepts provide a biologic basis for implementing the diagnosis and treatment of various craniofacial anomalies.
