Weisberger and Goldman have aided the author in bringing the chapters on mouth and periodontal diseases up to date. Part I includes chapters on hereditary influences in anomalies of the teeth and jaws, and endocrine and nutritional influences in the development of the teeth and jaws. Part IT deals with developmental anomalies of the teeth, and Part III with the developmental anomalies of the head. Pa,rt IV treats of the functional changes of the teeth, and includes physiology, pathology, enrironchapter on the pathologic effects of mental pathology, and an interesting dental restorations. Part V presents traumatic injuries of the teeth, and Part VZ includes dental caries, pulp involvement, and dentoalveolar abscesses. Parts are included also on periodontal diseases, extension of odontogenic infections and diseases of the jaws. An excellent chapter is that on “Tumors of the Jaws and Diseases of the Oral Mucosa.” Diseases of the lips and tongue are presented in great detail. A wealth of references and a detailed index are included. This is an outstanding and authoritative contribution to dental literature.

Anyone who has ever questioned the role of the orthodontist in modern warfare should be referred to this volume. Here he will find almost 600 pages of material which testify to the valuable service which the orthodontist is capable of rendering in the treatment of combat injuries of facial bones. The value of the knowledge which the orthodontist possesses is an indispensable factor in such procedures as the construction of dental splints used in stabilizing traumatized facial bones and in intraoral, extraoral methods of wiring.
