Diseasey Of the saliconj glands volvex elimination of any abnonnal af ferent reflex stimulus from the oral cavity. In severe cases, a reduction in salivary flow may 'be obtained by the administration of drugs such as atropine and hyoscine.

Diseases of the salivary glands
Congenita! abnormalities Infectivelesion» Sialolithiasis(salivary glandcalculus) Benignneoplasms Malignant neoplasms Miscellaneouscousesof enlargement of the salivaryglands Radiotioneffectsonmucosoandsalivary VARIATIONS IN THE AMOUNT OF SAIIVARY FlOW Normal secretion A great deal of individual variation ex ists in the total amount of saliva secreted daily, and Use average ft>w is estimated to 1«! between 500 arid 1500 ml. each day. Salivary flow is proportionately greater in infants than in adults and often decreases in old age because of atrophy of the spe cialized salivary tissue.
Sialorrhea The terra “sialorrhea” (Greek, 'flow of saliva') is synonymous with "plyalism” (Greek, 'salivation'.). Both have come to imply an excessive flow of saliva. Ptyalism in particular is associated with the excessive salivation that resulted from ingestion of mercurials and now is seldom used. Reflex stimulation of salivary flow may result from many causes: psychic, after the sight of
424
food; chemical, by tasting or smelling; or mechanical, through the stimulation of the oral mucosa and teeth. Direct stimulation of the gland itself may occur by the use of drugs such as pilocarpine. Iodides and bro mides arc- excreted in the saliva when they are given as medications and produce di rect irritation of the glandular tissue, whieh in turn causes an increased salivary flow. Keflex sialorrhea is seen frequently in dental practice. It may accompany any acute inflammation of the oral mucosa, in cluding acute herpetic stomatitis, Vincent's infection, and on occasion "teething." Excessive salivation is often a problem during operative dental procedures and probably results from reflex salivary gland secretion from mechanical stimulation of the teeth and surrounding structures. The initial fit ting of dentures may have a variable ef fect, sometimes producing reflex sialorrhea and at other times xerostomia. In most cases, however, the sensory receptors of the mucosa adjust to the presence of the den ture and a normal flow of saliva is soon reestablished. There ¡ire usually no symptoms that re sult directly from sialorrhea, as the exces sive saliva is rapidly removed from the month by reflex swailowing. Occasionally, however, the presence of increased amounts of saliva in the posterior oro pharynx may lead to nausea or to reflex gagging. In I he few cases where treatment of sialorrhea is undertaken, this usually in-
Xerostomia (Greek 'dr>’ mouth condi tion’) causes symptoms much more fre quently than sialorrhea because of the re duced natural cleansing and the increased stagnation that it produces in the oral cav ity, As a result, reduced salivary flow fre quently is associated with increased caries and periodontal disease, and also there may bo some difficulty in chewing and swallow ing. The dry mucosa, often becomes thinned and atrophic, taste buds degener ate, and cracks and fissures frequently de velop in the mucosal surface. In the eden tulous patient, the atrophic mucosa shows a tendency to ulcerate as a result of even modest Irautna from dentures, and prob lems of denture retention may become ex tremely difficult if the salivary- flow is much reduced. The »mount of salivary flow is a sensi tive index of the state of hydration of the body. Dehydration and decreased salivary secretion may result from decreased fluid intake, excessive loss of fluid, febrile sweat-

ing, prolonged vomiting and diarrhea, or the excessive urinary output that accom panies diseases such as diabetes and chronic nephritis. Reduction in salivary se cretions also may result from other factors affecting the secretory process, including atrophy of the specialized salivary glandu lar tissue, the side effects of certain drugs such as the antihistamines, irradiation of the glands, vitamin A or 1} deficiency, or skins may affect the major salivary glands (such as SjSgrcns's syndrome). Tlie treatment of xerostomia necessitates the recognition and correction of any caus ative factors. Frequently, however, the condition is attributable to primary dys function of the glandular epithelium, and be symptomatic rather than curative. It usually involves the regular intake of lemon water, which reflexly stimulates the resid ual glandular tissue, avoidance of trauma to the mucosa, and the protective applica tion of petrolatum or flavored paraffin oil if the oral mucous membranes have be-

This textbook of oral pathology is somewhat different from others in the same field, offering the advantage of an introductory text to the novice den tal student. Groups of chapters deal with diseases of various regions of the oral cavity: common dental diseases, diseases of teeth, diseases of the gin giva and periodontium, diseases of the jawbones, diseases of the mucosa, and miscellaneous diseases of oral and paraoral tissues. It is also advan tageous for the novice student but per haps a disadvantage for advanced stu-
dents, that a large number o f theoreti cal and clinical concepts and statistics are given without direct references in the text. However, at the end of the chapters are lists of additional read ings pertinent to the subject. The topics are organized in a con ventional fashion, that is, etiology, epidemiology, pathogenesis, histopathology, and clinical findings. A quarter of the book is devoted to den tal caries and inflammatory lesions of the pulp, periapical tissues, gingiva, and periodontium. Among the strong chapters is that on dental caries in which theories of the caries process are reviewed, and the histologic pro gress of the lesions is correlated with zones of carious tissue in all hard tis sues and then compared with clinical findings. In addition, there is a lengthy discussion of etiologic factors, tests, and preventive methods. A second strong chapter deals with chronic mar ginal gingivitis and chronic marginal periodontitis. The anatomic relation ship and physiology of these struc tures precede the description of the lesions. Again histologic evidence of change from the mildest form through acute and chronic phases of disease to reparation are compared to clinical findings. The chapter on odontogenic
714 ■ BOOK SECTION / JADA, Vol. 87, September 1973
tumors and odontomas is important conceptually to the novice dental stu dent. The classification of odontogen ic tumors is correlated graphically with the embryogenesis and inductive phenomena associated with the dental organ. There is an extensive discus sion of the ameloblastoma and its vari ants, tumors of the odontogenic epi thelium with inductive effects on con nective tissue, and mesodermal odon togenic tumors. It is the assumption of the authors that the undergraduate dental student comes to the area of oral pathology relatively well informed in basic sci ences, but that clinically he comes only as an “ educated layman.” It is the impression of the reviewer, then, that the subject matter is presented somewhat like a series of detailed lec tures with excellent micrographs and illustrations. The evaluation of the subject matter is left entirely to the discretion of the authors. The student is presented with a concise definition and a relevant statement as to inci dence and seriousness of the disease process in general clinical practice, without the burden of extensive justi fication of each statement.

Although the book is aimed at oph thalmologists, its application, in most instances, would be useful to all health professionals. Basic in its approach, the book relates many personal ob servations about the workings of group practices. Although not the sort of book recommended for every doc tor, it is worth a cursory reading by any doctor considering entry into group practice. Books about professional corpora tions are always risky because the sub ject matter is dependent on recent court decisions and tax and other law changes. Thus, there is always a dan ger of using dated material. For ex ample, much that was written before

Diseasey Of the saliconj glands volvex elimination of any abnonnal af ferent reflex stimulus from the oral cavity. In severe cases, a reduction in salivary flow may 'be obtained by the administration of drugs such as atropine and hyoscine.

Diseases of the salivary glands
Congenita! abnormalities Infectivelesion» Sialolithiasis(salivary glandcalculus) Benignneoplasms Malignant neoplasms Miscellaneouscousesof enlargement of the salivaryglands Radiotioneffectsonmucosoandsalivary VARIATIONS IN THE AMOUNT OF SAIIVARY FlOW Normal secretion A great deal of individual variation ex ists in the total amount of saliva secreted daily, and Use average ft>w is estimated to 1«! between 500 arid 1500 ml. each day. Salivary flow is proportionately greater in infants than in adults and often decreases in old age because of atrophy of the spe cialized salivary tissue.
Sialorrhea The terra “sialorrhea” (Greek, 'flow of saliva') is synonymous with "plyalism” (Greek, 'salivation'.). Both have come to imply an excessive flow of saliva. Ptyalism in particular is associated with the excessive salivation that resulted from ingestion of mercurials and now is seldom used. Reflex stimulation of salivary flow may result from many causes: psychic, after the sight of
424
food; chemical, by tasting or smelling; or mechanical, through the stimulation of the oral mucosa and teeth. Direct stimulation of the gland itself may occur by the use of drugs such as pilocarpine. Iodides and bro mides arc- excreted in the saliva when they are given as medications and produce di rect irritation of the glandular tissue, whieh in turn causes an increased salivary flow. Keflex sialorrhea is seen frequently in dental practice. It may accompany any acute inflammation of the oral mucosa, in cluding acute herpetic stomatitis, Vincent's infection, and on occasion "teething." Excessive salivation is often a problem during operative dental procedures and probably results from reflex salivary gland secretion from mechanical stimulation of the teeth and surrounding structures. The initial fit ting of dentures may have a variable ef fect, sometimes producing reflex sialorrhea and at other times xerostomia. In most cases, however, the sensory receptors of the mucosa adjust to the presence of the den ture and a normal flow of saliva is soon reestablished. There ¡ire usually no symptoms that re sult directly from sialorrhea, as the exces sive saliva is rapidly removed from the month by reflex swailowing. Occasionally, however, the presence of increased amounts of saliva in the posterior oro pharynx may lead to nausea or to reflex gagging. In I he few cases where treatment of sialorrhea is undertaken, this usually in-
Xerostomia (Greek 'dr>’ mouth condi tion’) causes symptoms much more fre quently than sialorrhea because of the re duced natural cleansing and the increased stagnation that it produces in the oral cav ity, As a result, reduced salivary flow fre quently is associated with increased caries and periodontal disease, and also there may bo some difficulty in chewing and swallow ing. The dry mucosa, often becomes thinned and atrophic, taste buds degener ate, and cracks and fissures frequently de velop in the mucosal surface. In the eden tulous patient, the atrophic mucosa shows a tendency to ulcerate as a result of even modest Irautna from dentures, and prob lems of denture retention may become ex tremely difficult if the salivary- flow is much reduced. The »mount of salivary flow is a sensi tive index of the state of hydration of the body. Dehydration and decreased salivary secretion may result from decreased fluid intake, excessive loss of fluid, febrile sweat-

ing, prolonged vomiting and diarrhea, or the excessive urinary output that accom panies diseases such as diabetes and chronic nephritis. Reduction in salivary se cretions also may result from other factors affecting the secretory process, including atrophy of the specialized salivary glandu lar tissue, the side effects of certain drugs such as the antihistamines, irradiation of the glands, vitamin A or 1} deficiency, or skins may affect the major salivary glands (such as SjSgrcns's syndrome). Tlie treatment of xerostomia necessitates the recognition and correction of any caus ative factors. Frequently, however, the condition is attributable to primary dys function of the glandular epithelium, and be symptomatic rather than curative. It usually involves the regular intake of lemon water, which reflexly stimulates the resid ual glandular tissue, avoidance of trauma to the mucosa, and the protective applica tion of petrolatum or flavored paraffin oil if the oral mucous membranes have be-

This textbook of oral pathology is somewhat different from others in the same field, offering the advantage of an introductory text to the novice den tal student. Groups of chapters deal with diseases of various regions of the oral cavity: common dental diseases, diseases of teeth, diseases of the gin giva and periodontium, diseases of the jawbones, diseases of the mucosa, and miscellaneous diseases of oral and paraoral tissues. It is also advan tageous for the novice student but per haps a disadvantage for advanced stu-
dents, that a large number o f theoreti cal and clinical concepts and statistics are given without direct references in the text. However, at the end of the chapters are lists of additional read ings pertinent to the subject. The topics are organized in a con ventional fashion, that is, etiology, epidemiology, pathogenesis, histopathology, and clinical findings. A quarter of the book is devoted to den tal caries and inflammatory lesions of the pulp, periapical tissues, gingiva, and periodontium. Among the strong chapters is that on dental caries in which theories of the caries process are reviewed, and the histologic pro gress of the lesions is correlated with zones of carious tissue in all hard tis sues and then compared with clinical findings. In addition, there is a lengthy discussion of etiologic factors, tests, and preventive methods. A second strong chapter deals with chronic mar ginal gingivitis and chronic marginal periodontitis. The anatomic relation ship and physiology of these struc tures precede the description of the lesions. Again histologic evidence of change from the mildest form through acute and chronic phases of disease to reparation are compared to clinical findings. The chapter on odontogenic
714 ■ BOOK SECTION / JADA, Vol. 87, September 1973
tumors and odontomas is important conceptually to the novice dental stu dent. The classification of odontogen ic tumors is correlated graphically with the embryogenesis and inductive phenomena associated with the dental organ. There is an extensive discus sion of the ameloblastoma and its vari ants, tumors of the odontogenic epi thelium with inductive effects on con nective tissue, and mesodermal odon togenic tumors. It is the assumption of the authors that the undergraduate dental student comes to the area of oral pathology relatively well informed in basic sci ences, but that clinically he comes only as an “ educated layman.” It is the impression of the reviewer, then, that the subject matter is presented somewhat like a series of detailed lec tures with excellent micrographs and illustrations. The evaluation of the subject matter is left entirely to the discretion of the authors. The student is presented with a concise definition and a relevant statement as to inci dence and seriousness of the disease process in general clinical practice, without the burden of extensive justi fication of each statement.

Although the book is aimed at oph thalmologists, its application, in most instances, would be useful to all health professionals. Basic in its approach, the book relates many personal ob servations about the workings of group practices. Although not the sort of book recommended for every doc tor, it is worth a cursory reading by any doctor considering entry into group practice. Books about professional corpora tions are always risky because the sub ject matter is dependent on recent court decisions and tax and other law changes. Thus, there is always a dan ger of using dated material. For ex ample, much that was written before
