Synopsis
of Traumatic Injuries of the Face and Jaws: By Douglas B. Parker, M.D., D.D.S., Associate Professor, Department of Oral Surgery, School of Dental and Oral Surgery, Columbia University. Pp. 334, with 229 illustrations, St. Louis, The C. V. Mosby Company, 1942.
This book is presented as a manual dealing with the early first-aid treatment of face and jaw injuries. It is particularly intended to prepare dentists in basic and emergency surgery for civilian and military emergencies. Parker calls upon his experience in the First World War in France and in nearly thirty years spent as a hospital oral surgeon and in teaching. Facial wounds and jaw injuries are frequent as the results of accidents in civilian life no less than as the result of war combat. In this book, the author presents an outline of the anatomy of the face and jaws. This section is illustrated with striking photographs and diagrams which make unnecessary the reading of more detailed texts for this purpose. In his chapter on the initial treatment of injuries at the scene of accident the author follows general directions in giving first-aid. While laying great stress on dental injuries, the treatment of shock, the control of infection, and the treatment of wounds are given due consideration. Burns of the face, which occur more frequently than is generally supposed, are discussed and treatment is presented. The stabilization and handling of bony injuries about the face and jaws are discussed in great detail. The latest types of apparatus employed in treating facial injuries are fully discussed and illustrated. The construction of such apparatus is adequately presented. Parker has written an exceedingly practical and useful manual, one that will have great value for the practicing dentist at all times, not only during the war but as a peacetime text as well.
