Cancer in each region of the head and neck is discussed from the viewpoint of anatomy, etiology, pathology, patient evaluation, and treatment. In every instance, surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy are objectively evaluated and placed in their proper perspective . Occlusion in Clinical Practice. Thomson H.

providing good occlusion and articulation in restorative procedures, based on an understanding of tooth form, muscle activity, and mandibular movement. There is also a chapter on diagnosis and treatment of the mandibular dysfunction syndrome. Differential Diagnosis of Oral Lesions, 2nd ed. Wood NK, Goaz PW, with a contributor. St Louis, CV Mosby Co, 1980, 633 pp, 1318 illustrations, four color plates. PNS Numerous changes have been incorporated into the already excellent text.

Lucker GW, Ribbens KA, McNamara JA Jr (Eds). Monograph No. 11, Craniofacial Growth Series. Ann Arbor, Center for Human Growth and Development, University of Michigan, 1980, 213 pp. illustrated. PNS This book is a compilation of papers presented at the Seventh Annual Symposium on Craniofacial Growth. It provides a truly interdisciplinary approach to the subject by including contributions from psychology, psychiatry, plastic and oral surgery, dentistry, and orthodontics. The material is current. Not only does it offer information of immediate applicability for the surgeon in evaluating the conditions of his patients requiring orthognathic surgery, but also it is a basis for future research in the field. Oral Medicine. Tyldesley WR. New York, Oxford University Press, 1981, 162 pp. illustrated, paperback, $22.50 The term oral medicine as used in this book refers to clinical aspects of oral pathologic conditions rather than only to oral manifestations of systemic diseases. Chapters are devoted to infections and recurrent ulcerations of the oral mucosa; diseases of the lips, tongue, and salivary glands; leukoplakia, hyperplasia, and neoplasia; the oral mucosa in generalized disease; disorders of bone; and facial pain. The chapters are not referenced, but a short list of suggested reading is included. Periodontal Diseases in Children and Adolescents: State of the Art. Richardson ER (Ed) with 14 contributors. Nashville, Tenn, Meharry Medical College, School of Dentistry, 1981, 171 pp, illustrated. PNS This monograph deals with the pathologic features, microbiologic features, diagnosis, and treatment of a much neglected and misunderstood aspect of periodontal disease-that involving young persons. With the trend toward performance of orthognathic surgery on patients of relatively early ages, it is important for the oral and maxillofacial surgeon to be familiar with the periodontal problems found in such patients as well as the effects appliances can have on the initiation and propagation of these conditions.
