CURRENT LITERATURE
New Book Annotations Principles and Practice of Oral Medicine. Sonis ST, Fazio RC, Fang L. Philadelphia, WB Saunders, 1984,670 pages, illustrated Providing information about the evaluation and management of dental patients who have systemic diseases rather than a detailed synopsis of all of internal medicine is the goal of this book. Most chapters are divided into sections dealing with general medical information, the evaluation and management of the dental patient, oral findings and their management, and specific clinical examples. Each chapter also has a series of tables that summarize important aspects for easy reference and review. Basics of Anesthesia. Stoelting RK, Miller RD. New York, Churchill Livingstone, 1984, 499 pages, illustrated This text provides a concise and accurate presentation of the essential information needed for the practice of anesthesiology. There are sections devoted to pharmacology, the preoperative preparation and intraoperative management of patients, special considerations such as outpatient surgery and the recovery period, and chapters on management of chronic pain and cardiopulmonary resuscitation. References are limited; classic articles and those designed to provide more detailed information about specific topics are listed. Human Dentofacial Growth. Goose DH, Appleton J. New York, Pergamon Press, 1982, 228 pages, illustrated Although written for the orthodontist and pedodontist, this book should also be of interest to the oral and maxillofacial surgeon. It begins with a summary of the principles of growth and a discussion of bone as a tissue, followed by a detailed account of the growth and development of various regions of the head. The latter include the mandible, the midface, the cranium, and the temporomandibular joint. There is also a chapter on cephalometrics and facial growth. Year Book of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. McCoy FJ, ed. Chicago, Year Book Medical Publishers, 1984, 290 pages, illustrated Relevant articles from 70 journals are abstracted. Categories of interest to the oral and maxillofacial surgeon are congenital anomalies (craniofacial and clefts), neoplasms, inflammatory and degenerative diseases, and trauma. Clinical Management of Child Abuse and Neglect. Sanger RG, Bross DC, eds, with 15 contributors. Chicago, Quintessence Publishing Co., 1984, 168 pages, illustrated, paperback With the increased awareness regarding child abuse and the need to report such incidents, it behooves all health professionals to be knowledgeable about the clinical manifestations and management of these conditions. This is particularly true of the oral and maxillofacial surgeon, since many of the injuries involve the oral and facial regions, This book provides a detailed discussion of the various aspects of child abuse and neglect, including doc-
umentation and collection of physical evidence, interviewing and reporting protocol, and legal responsibilities. A Guide to Successful Dental Practice. Forrest JO. Littleton, Mass., John Wright, 1984, 132 pages, paperback, $12.50 Although this book was written for the general practitioner, and by a British author, it still includes many helpful hints that could be of benefit to an oral and maxillofacial surgeon about to enter private practice. Frontiers of Oral Physiology, vol. 5. Steroid Hormones in Saliva. Ferguson DB, ed, with 19 contributors. Basel, S. Karger, 1984. 162 pages, 85 illustrations, $69.00 This volume summarizes the studies on the use of saliva samples as a method of measuring steroid hormones and discusses the physiologic basis, indications, and limitations of such assays. Wound Healing for Surgeons. Bucknall TE, Ellis H, eds, with 20 contributors. Philadelphia, WB Saunders (Bailliere Tendall), 1984, 344 pages, illustrated This monograph is written by surgeons for surgeons. It presents the basic physiologic, anatomic, biochemical, and biomechanical aspects of wound healing in health and disease. In addition to the chapters dealing with general principles, those pertinent to oral and maxillofacial surgery include the discussion of blood vessels, nerves, bones and joints, tendons and traumatic injuries. Medical Evaluation of the Surgical Patient. Adler A, ed, with 3 contributors. Philadelphia, WB Saunders, 1985, 292 pages, paperback This concise manual provides an overview of the essentials of preoperative medical management of the surgical patient. Each chapter discusses patient evaluation, risk factors, and treatment. The material is presented in outline form for easy reference. Bone and Mineral Research: Annual 2. Pecks WA, ed, with 19 contributors. New York, Elsevier Science Publishing Co., 1984, 432 pages, illustrated, $80.75
This yearly publication reviews the current scientific and clinical advances in the field of bone and mineral metabolism. The papers are divided into three categories: mechanisms of parathyroid hormone secretion and its renal effects; the regulation of bone cells and the cellular mechanisms of skeletal remodeling; and clinical topics, including the humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy and Paget’s disease of bone.
