LITERATURE
pretation of the sizes and relationships easier for the reader. Extensive references document the sources of much of the specific information that is provided in the text. Endosseous Implants for Maxillofacial Reconstruction. Block MS, Kent JN (eds), with 40 contributors. Philadelphia, PA, Saunders, 1995, 696 pages, 1866 illustrations (269 in color), $175.00. All of the various aspects of implantology are discussed in this comprehensive text. The eight sections include information on the applied biomedical sciences, preoperative considerations, restorative procedures, the various endosseous implant systems, surgical techniques of reconstruction with implants and grafts, soft tissue management, and regulatory and legal considerations. The material is presented in a manner that allows the clinician to use the various implant systems in an effective manner. Pain: A Four-Letter Word You Can Live With (ed 2). Vasudevan SV, Milwaukee, WI, Montgomery Media, 1995, 224 pages, paperback, $14.95. This book is written for patients with chronic pain and their families. The various chapters describe the magnitude of the problem, the distinction between acute and chronic pain, pain theories, effective approaches to managing and living with chronic pain, and the role of various professionals in pain management. The appendix describes numerous useful resources that can be used to supplement the text. Pediatric Otolaryngology (ed 3). Bluestone CD, Stoole SE, Kenna MA, with 150 contributors. Philadelphia, PA, Saunders, 1996, 1677 pages (2 volumes), illustrated. In addition to updating of previous material, seven new chapters have been added to this new edition. The new chapters include: imaging of the paranasal sinuses; chronic sinusitis, including functional endoscopic sinus surgery; laser surgery; head and neck space infections; pediatric skull base surgery; and psychosocial aspects of pediatric otolaryngology. The inclusion of new authors for many previous chapters also adds to the currency of the information. 3-D Modeling Technology in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. Lambrecht JT. Chicago, IL, Quintessence, 1995, 160 pages, 228 illustrations (220 in color) $140.00. The fabrication of fully three-dimensional anatomic replicas using computer-aided design and manufacture provides a new and unique method of anatomic investigation, surgical simulation, and postoperative evaluation. This book describes the 3-D modeling process and illustrates its use for preoperative diagnosis and surgical simulation in a series of case reports involving neoplasms, malformations, ortho-
gnathic problems, preprosthetic surgery, implants, and temporomandibular joint disorders. Oral Manifestations of HIV Infection. Greenspan Greenspan D (eds), with 124 contributors. Chicago, Quintessence, 1995, 381 pages, illustrated, paperback.

This monograph contains the reports presented at the Second International Workshop on the Oral Manifestations of HIV Infection held in 1993. They are classified under the headings of HIV and women, epidemiology of oral lesions, candidiasis, HIV, saliva and salivary glands, Epstein-Barr virus and hairy leukoplakia, Kaposi’s sarcoma, oral ulcers, HIV in children, periodontal diseases, occupational issues, provision of care to the HIV-positive population, and treatment of HIV-associated oral diseases. The monograph concludes with recommendations for areas where more work is urgently needed. Temporomandihular Disorders and Related Pain Conditions. Sessle BJ, Bryant PS, Dionne RA (eds), with 60 contributors. IASP Press, 1995, 492 pages. In an attempt to synthesize available information on temporomandibular disorders from the United States and abroad, the National Institute for Dental Research, the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases, the Office of Research on Women’s Health, and the Food and Drug Administration sponsored the International Workshop on Temporomandibular Disorders and Related Pain Conditions in 1994. This book contains the papers presented, classified into the categories of muscle pain and physiology, temporomandibular joint disc displacement, degenerative and inflammatory temporomandibular joint disorders, diagnosis and assessment of temporomandibular disorders, epidemiology and health services research, temporomandibular joint structure, function and repair, therapeutic approaches, and biostatistical commentary and research recommendations. Reaction papers on the various reports add to the value of the information presented. Lasers in Dentistry. Miserendino LJ, Pick RM (eds), with 28 contributors. Chicago, IL, Quintessence, 1995,344 pages, 349 illustrations (160 in color), $98.00. This text, organized into four sections, provides up-todate scientific and clinical information on the use of lasers in dentistry. Part one provides basic material on how lasers interact with the oral tissues. Part two addresses such practical considerations as safety issues, governmental regulations, and surgical technique. In part three, the clinical applications of the various types of laser are discussed and in part four the reader is apprised of current technology and future directions. The appendices contain supplemental information, such as a glossary of technical terms, laser precautions, and curriculum guidelines and standards for dental laser education.
