F.A.C.D., Head of the Department of Diagnosis and Roentgenology, the Murry and Leonie Guggenheim Dental Clinic and School for Dental Hygienists; Assistant Professor of Roentgenology, New York University College of Dentistry ; Lecturer in Dental Radiology, New York University College of Medicine. With 1046 illustrations on 355 figures, 319 pages. 1940. Philadelphia, W. B. Saunders Co. This volume provides the dentist with a comprehensive manual of roentgenologic technique for the production and processing and interpretation of dental x-ray films. In the preface to t.he book, the authors stress the need for better understanding and interpretation of roentgenograms in the following words: “It may come as a shock to some dentists, but it is a fact that a full mouth series of roentgenograms properly posed and taken with correct angulation of the x-rays for each film, invariably excites admiration among both dentists and physicians, as though some near miracle had been wrought. Such surveys should be and can be a matter of course.” Chapters are presented on every phase of roentgenographic processing technique, the complete intraoral and extraoral roentgenographic survey and orientation of roentgenograms ; stereoscopic roentgenography ; roentgenographic interpretation; dental roentgenograms of the normal child and differential diagnosis between anatomic landmarks and the indication of pathological conditions. Every phase of roentgenology is covered and excellently and profusely illustrated. Emphasis is placed on roentgenography of children both of normal and abnormal conditions. An interesting chapter is included on localization of misplaced teeth and cyst,s. Standard views taken in fixed positions are recommended as an aid in determining the locat,ion of impacted, supernumerA detailed index is ary, and unerupted teeth and pathological conditions. provided which will make it easy for the orthodontist t,o employ the book as to practitioners of a reference t,ext. The book is heartily recommended orthodontics.
Physiology
in Health and Disease: By Carl J. Wiggers, M. D., Professor of Physiology in the School of Medicine of Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio. Third edition, enlarged and thoroughly revised. Octave, 1140 pages, illustrated with 218 engravings. Philadelphia, 1939, Lea and Febiger.
Wiggers’ physiology in this new edition, the third since it was first published, has again been thoroughly revised and much new material has been added, including 1,400 new references. Dental practitioners and especially those engaged in research will find this work of inestimable value. The book contains nine sections, each of which is subdivided into chapters. Orthodontists and dentists in general practice will be especially interested in the information on vitamins and dental disease ; dental caries ; calcification of bone, calcium balance, and many other topics of cognate interest. The endocrine functions are presented according to latest available knowledge, as is the physiology of muscular action. The physiology of mastication and deglutition is discussed. A wealth of references is presented to the literature throughout the world, and a complete index is provided.
