Handbook of oral diagnosis and treatment planning
Amer.
J. Orthodont. Beptember 1970
This volume takes the dental rcadcr further into the biologic field than do most. of his texts and periodicals. It is a cultural feast, that this text on the biology of t,hc mouth provides. It should be read and studied by all orthodontists who arc interested in more than the manipulative clinicaal phase of their specialty. J. A. Salemann Handbook

Although the title of this text is Oral Diagnosis and. Treatment Planning, the authors state in the preface that “a treatise of this type does not intend to present the complete scope of oral diagnosis and treatment planning.” Under the subject of history taking from the patient, there are seventeen questions, of which some have as many as ten subdivisions. It is in the interpretation of the significance of the questions asked in takin g the hist,ory that the clinician can obtain much useful information. The examination, evaluation, and interpretation of clinical findings are of value to the practicing dentist. Tongue size, the authors point out, is not as important a,s the relative size of the oral cavity. The chapter on the occlusion is sketchy and deficient in important detail. Fully two thirds of the text is devoted to treatment planning. The utilization of diagnostic aids is cxplaincd. Relief of pain and treatment of infection arc discussed. Orthodontics, endodontics, and periodontics are given only a little over a page. “Orthodontics,” the reader is told, “can facilitate treatment of many cases by alteration of a difficult restorative profile to routine operative and fixed partial denture prosthesis.” The benefits of using orthodontic treatment as an adjunct in restorative dentistry are presented. Occlusal equilibration is given detailed discussion, and valuable information is provided for the practitioner. The book has an index but lacks a bibliography, which should have been included since so many aspects of oral diagnosis and treatment planning are merely mentioned in passing. J. A. Salzmann Advances

As in the previous volumes, the present text presents discussions on some areas of o’ral physiology and other topics distantly related to o’ral physiology. Only seven of the thirteen contributors are engaged in research directly related to dentistry. Among the eight topics discussed are (1) snake venoms; (2) the formation and influence of surfa,ce phases on calcium phosphate solids; (3) the use of tetracycline in studies of bone healing; (4) dental caries in monkeys; and (5) dental caries in rats.
