oral cavity and laryngopharynx, the head and neck. and general concepts. The outline format makes the material useful for quick reference, particularly in the clinical situation. TMJ Internal Derangement and Arthrosis. Dolwick MF. Sanders B. St. Louis, CV Mosby, 198.5. 321 pages, illustrated. The information in this book is presented mainly in illustrations and photographs. The eight sections deal with anatomy, pathology, diagnosis, arthrography, surgery, postoperative management. complications, and case reports. The procedures described are those used successfully by the authors. Early Treatment of Cleft Lip and Palate. Hotz M. Gnoinski W, Perko M, et al. (eds). Lewiston, New York. Hans Huber Publishers, 1986, 32 pages, 75 illustrations. This book represents the proceedings of the 1984 Third International Symposium on Cleft Lip and Palate. It contains papers representing the works of 35 clinics. The emphasis of the presentations is on the evolution of concepts of early treatment, long-term results, and changes in clinical management based on these results. Reconstructive Preprosthetic Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. Fonseca RJ, Davis WH, with 35 contributors. Philadelphia, WB Saunders, 1985, 544 pages, 631 illustrations, $95.00. The 12 chapters in this book provide a comprehensive discussion of the full range of preprosthetic surgery written by outstanding prosthodontists and surgeons. Information is provided on the pathophysiology of bone loss; biologic aspects of transplantation: prosthodontic and surgical treatment planning: minor preprosthetic procedures; management of soft tissue problems; osseous reconstruction; use of dental implants and hydroxylapatite; and reconstruction in the patient with cancer and patients with maxillofacial injuries, facial clefts, and dentofacial deformities. Whenever possible, significant followup data are provided. Computed Tomography of the Head and Neck. Carter BL, (ed), with 18 contributors. New York, Churchill Livingstone, 1985, 341 pages, illustrated, $44.50. Computed tomography has replaced linear tomography and other radiographic techniques for imaging the struc-

tures of the head and neck. This book describes the techniques and diagnostic criteria used in the evaluation of various benign and malignant lesions, congenital defects, and traumatic injuries. Numerous illustrations complement the narrative descriptions. Electrognathographics. Lewin A. Chicago, Quintessence, 1985, 173 pages illustrated. Electrognathographics is a technique that allows the measurement of mandibular movement during function. A major portion of the book describes the procedure used and the interpretation of the tracings obtained. The remainder describes the patterns of various common occurrences and anomalies of jaw movement. The technique is offered as a means to provide measurable parameters for analyzing mastication and speech. What to Look For When Buying Dental Equipment. Newberg, Oregon, A-dec, 1985, 76 pages, paperback, $3.95. This booklet provides practical information about important features to consider when purchasing handpieces, chairs, cuspidors, stools, cabinetry. and lights. Recent Advances in Plastic Surgery, number 3. Jackson, IT, Sommerlad BC, with 28 contributors. New York, Churchill Livingstone, 1985, 234 pages, illustrated, $59.00. Although about half of the book’s 15 chapters relate to procedures involving other parts of the body, the remainder focus on the head and neck region. Included are discussions of cleft lip and palate, management of facial paralysis, modification in neck dissection for patients with oral cancer, and rhytidectomy. Of particular interest to the oral and maxillofacial surgeon is a section in the last chapter describing platysma muscle surgery for patients with obtuse anterior neck angles. Exercises in Oral Radiographic Interpretation, 2nd edition. Lanlars R, Kasle MJ. Philadelphia, WB Saunders, 1985, 224 pages, 344 illustrations, paperback, $19.95. This new edition maintains the question-and-answer format for teaching radiographic differential diagnosis. However, the material has been reorganized by placing dental anomalies and defects from jaw disorders in separate sections, by grouping related or look-alike conditions, and by including occlusal, panoramic, and extraoral views in many sections. About 40 new cases have been added.

it comes to reading the handwriting on the wall. I agree with Dr. Barbee’s review of the present praiseworthy status of anesthesia in oral and maxillofacial surgery and would remind him that my letter addressed future political reality as I saw it. May I gently remind him that the membership of the Southern California Society of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (SCSOMS) has neither been presented with my thoughts nor voted on the issue (there being no issue to vote on other than preparedness), and I am not aware of an official SCSOMS Board position. I
would merely suggest to the SCSOMS leadership that they be prepared to respond in a, constructive fashion when the crunch comes. All too often in dentistry we respond defensively to unknowledgeable pressures, rather than taking advantage, through constructive preplanning, of opportunities presented. FRANK M.
