Physicians’ Guide to Diseases of the Oral Cavity. Goldman HS, Marder MZ. Florence, Kentucky, Medical Economics Books, 1981, 280 pp, illustrated. $39.50 This book was designed particularly for physicians and other nondental personnel who may encounter problems involving the oral cavity. Beginning with the oral examination, it continues with a discussion of plaque-related diseases, changes affecting the dentition, oral irregularities, benign and malignant tumors, oral manifestations of systemic diseases, infections, and effects of aging. There are precise clinical descriptions of each condition and illustrations in both black-and-white and color.

MN 55455. Intracranial Spread of Squamous Carcinoma Along the Trigeminal Nerve. Trobe JD, Hood I. Parsons J.

100:608, 1982

Atlas of Diseases

JJ. Philadelphia, trations. $75.00

Two case reports of intracranial dissemination of squamous carcinoma along the trigeminal nerve are presented. In both cases the patients initially received mistaken diagnoses of trigeminal neuralgia. Both patients had severe pain along the distribution of the fifth cranial nerve. In one case the primary site of the tumor was the skin of the lateral canthus, and there was spread along the orbital nerve to involve the cavernous sinus and the gasserian ganglion. In the second, the primary site was the retromolar trigone, and there was deep spread along the inferior alveolar nerve. In the case involving the retromolar trigone, a panoramic radiograph showed positive evidence for expansion of the inferior alveolar canal. Adequate treatment for the tumor can usually be accomplished with surgery or radiation before intracranial spread. After intracranial spread, radiation is largely palliative, and almost all lesions are surgically unresectable.-ADRIAN L. PATTERSON

Clinical and Radiographic Interpretation of Facial Fractures. Gerlock AJ. Sinn DP, McBride KL. Boston. Little, Brown and Co, 1981, 169 pp. illustrated, $28.50

New Book Annotations

The emphasis in this book is on the diagnostic, physical, and radiographic features of the major fractures of the facial bones. The usual locations of the fractures are described and illustrated, as are the proper radiographs for their demonstration. For each fracture there is a brief discussion of triage, general treatment, and, where indicated, steps to prevent potentially serious complications.

Regeneration of the Periodontal Attachment in Humans. Dragoo MR (Ed.). Philadelphia, Lea and Febiger, 1981, 200 pp, 260 illustrations, $35.00

The clinical and histologic course of wound healing after various forms of periodontal surgery, including bone and scleral grafts, is described. Indications, contraindications, and complications for each procedure are discussed. All observations are based on histologic sections from human subjects. Surgery,

Evers H, Information,

This book is actually an atlas rather than a text: there is minima1 written material. It is therefore easy to read but lacks the detail necessary for use in teaching inexperienced students. Although the illustrations are exceptionally well done, they suffer from a lack of labeling and their use is thereby diminished.

The text of this classic atlas has been thoroughly revised and updated, over 40 new diseases have been added, and 240 new references have been included in the bibliography. The main emphasis continues to be placed on the clinical diagnostic aspects of the diseases, with histopathology dealt with only when necessary for proper understanding. A new technique for color reproduction has added to the quality of the illustrations.

These two volumes constitute a step-by-step atlas of oncologic surgery of the head and neck. The first sections deal with basic principles, and their application is covered in greater detail in the subsequent sections. Volume I deals with flaps for skin coverage and lining of the mouth; reconstruction of the lip: and general and specific management of tumors of the neck. face, nose, nasopharynx. ear. orbit, cheek and upper jaw, and maxilla. Volume 11 deals with tumors of the mouth, lower jaw and chin, intraoral region, tongue, larynx, pharynx, esophagus, thyroid and parathyroid glands, and salivary glands. There are also chapters on management of the facial nerve. Emphasis is placed throughout on reconstruction and prosthetic rehabilitation as well as surgical ablation.

A longitudinal study was conducted of 46 patients who had congenital clefts of the alveolus and had received autogenous hip bone grafts (secondary osteoplasties). The patients ranged in age from 7 to 14 years and had a total of 64 affected canines: 18 cases were bilateral and 28 were unilateral. The teeth in question were studied radiographically to determine the stage of root development and the amount of eruptive movement through the graft site. The period of observation was two to eight years (mean 4.3 t 1.5). All teeth did, in fact, move through the graft. 27% with spontaneous eruption. 17% with surgical uncovering, and 56% with surgical uncovering and orthodontic assistance. On the basis of this study, it was concluded that the best time for grafting varies, but it is most successful at ages 9 through 12, when root formation is a quarter to a half completed. These teeth will subsequently have normal root development but will show a greater-than-normal time for eruption through grafted bone.-DoucLAs D. RICHARDSON
