Oro-Facial Anthropometrics presents a method of facial analysis. By measurement of frontofacial angularity, the author assesses the patient’s face and plans treatment according to his findings. The frontofacial analysis gives an insight into facial forms. The text shows how the findings are applied to treatment planning. Case reports with treatment summaries are presented. The author writes with the conviction that there are many normal craniofacial types. This, he feels, can be demonstrated best by including the angulation of the forehead. Muzj has undertaken in this text to stimulate biometric thought in the mind of the orthodontist. J. A. Salzmann Current Concepts of the Histology of Oral Mucosa; the Proceedings of a Symposium at the University of Illitiois, College of Dentistry, Chicago Edited by C. A. Squior and Julia Meyer Price, $18.75. Springfield, Ill., 1971, Charles C Thomas, Publisher. $05 pages, illudrated.
There are twenty-six contributors to this text, of whom nine are from the University of Illinois Medical Center, six are from the University of Washington in Seattle, Washington, and four are from Baylor University College of Dentistry. The purpose of this volume is to provide teachers and research workers with an integrated summary of present knowledge of the oral mucosa. The text is divided into three parts: the oral epithelium, the connective tissue of the oral mucosa, and physiologic aspects of the oral mucosa. In their summary of The Oral Epithelium, Omanski and Meyer point out the histologic differences between keratinized and nonkeratinized mucosa and their function for the survival of the organism. In a chapter on circulation in the oral mucosa it is again affirmed that the copious circulation of the gingivae is responsible for its abilit,y to resist infection and thermal and mechanical stress. Farbman and Allgood of Northwestern University Dental and Medical Schools contribute an interesting and informative chapter on the “Innervation, Sensory Receptors, and Sensitivity of the Oral Mucosa.” The physiology of oral sensation is still subject to many theories which have as yet to be proved. The hypothesis of Wedell and Sinclair denies the existence of specific nerve fibers for the four cutaneous modalities, namely, touch, warmth, cold, and pain. They postulate that inforation reaching the central nervous system is the result of a
