Orthodontics:
Principles
and
Practice
By T. III. Graber. Second edition. Philadelphia, 1966, W. B. Saunders Company. 922 pages, 2,495 illustrations on 804 figures. Price, $18.00. This is the second edition of a work which was first published in 1961 and which has gained acceptance as a textbook for undergraduate courses in orthodonics in many of the dental schools of the United States. Its organization and text are essentially the same as in the first edition. Additions and modifications have been made to the text in light of the more current periodical literature ; for example, the section on the growth of the maxilla and mandible has been enlarged to include material based on Enlow’s recent studies. The author has included the basic subject material usually expected in an orthodontic textbook and, for the most part, has covered it adequately for the undergraduate level of dentistry and the general practitioner of dentistry. For graduate teaching or the orthodontist, the text could serve as an introduct.ion to the various subject materials covered, but it would have to be supplemented by additional reading and discussion to provide information in depth. Unfortunately, the references at the end of each chapter are not always as complete or as carefully chosen as they might be to guide the reader for further study. The aut.hor reference index is incomplete for the text and references cited and thus loses a part of its function. The illustrations are generally of excellent qualit.y, and the layout and typography are exceedingly well done Altos Mechanism of Mastication; a Quantitative graphic Study of Masticatory Movements ence to Occlusion of the Teeth

This is a pilot study on the variation of the masticatory movements in children with various occlusions. Three hundred twenty children (mean age, 13 years) were studied by direct observation during a standardized chewing test. The movements of the lower incisors in a frontal plane were registered, and a drawing of the most common path of motion was made for each subject. Test materials were chewing gum and peanuts. It was found that the variations in form of the masticatory movements were considerable. In each child, however, 225
