The monograph consists of an anatomic and histologic part and a part devoted to autoradiographic observations. The first part contains an osteologic and dissection study. In addition, there is a lightmicroscopic investigation with routine and histoehemical polysaccharide staining techniques, followed by a radiographic study of the distribution of organic dry mass and of minerals. The second part contains an autoradiographic study of a functional dimension to micromorphology to assess the functional condition of the joint. Material and methods are described in an appendix, and nine pages of references are added. This excellent study is well documented and liberally illustrated with first-class pictures. Anyone interested in the scientific aspect of the temporomandibular joint should study this monograph. E. H. T. Orthop6die

Several chapters have been completely revised and added to this monograph, which is written for students of odontostomatology and for practitioners practicing orthodontics. The text is clear and practical. The first part describes the anatomy and physiology of and the third part takes up treatment and the face, the second part deals with diagnosis, prevention. Some space is devoted to surgical therapy, such as resection of the point of the tongue after the technique of Professor Cernea and osteotomies and ostectomies for altering the size or shape of the maxilla or mandible. We miss the latest methods used in the United States-the oblique osteotomies in the ramus. The illustrations are of good quality. The principles are based on an understanding of the etiological process of a general and regional nature. E. H. T. Periodontal

This, the third edition, is a combination of two previous books by these authorsPeriodontia and Periodontal Z’herapy. The authors of this atlas-text are well known in the specialty, and all are teachers. There are thirty-one chapters, and the book is divided into eight parts, with a rich bibliography. The art work by Ullrich is excellent in the step-by-step instructions in gingivectomy and other procedures. There is not a poor illustration in the 466, either clinical or roentgenographic. The book is recommended to the teacher, the student, and the practitioner, specialist and general. T. J. C. Syndromes

This book is dedicated to those who treasure the exceptional. Because we belong to this elite group, we are delighted with it. In the foreword, Dr. Victor A. McKusick, Professor of Medicine at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, states that the authors have done a valuable service to oral pathology and oral medicine by collating their extensive personal experiences and the widely scattered reports of the literature with great skill so that all medicine is in their debt.
