This textbook, which carries a foreword by John T. McSweeney, is designed to familiarize the dental profession with the theories, diagnostic methods, and preventive and corrective techniques now employed by thousands of oral dynamic specialists to cope effectively with nonsystemic mouth degeneration, perhaps one of the most critical dental problems of our time. The book includes special sections on bite correction and orthodontia and on prosthodontics, under which headings are discussed such important professional concerns as the standard bite correction technique of oral dynamics, orthodontia for dental deformities, eavit,y preparation to eliminate fracturing of teeth, biological tolerance limits and prosthodontics, denture equilibrium, process destruction, and process preservation.

This fifth edition of Dentistry for Children contains valuable information on the prevention of dental disease by the early application of sound therapy and dental guidance. It is useful for the dental practitioner because of the clinical orientation of the material. The new edition contains the latest on pulp therapy, operative dentistry for children, removable prostheses, treatment and restoration of injuries of anterior teeth, preventive orthodontics, and the maintenance of occlusion through fixed as well as functional appliances for children who must have teeth extracted prematurely. Each chapter ends with a series of questions to aid the reader in the review of the material presented and to identify some of the most important points. The book has a new senior editor, Dr. Brauer, who is well known for his leadership in dentistry. He is a man, as Dr. Lindahl writes, “who looks to the future with objectivity and compassion and lays the foundation for a better tomorrow.” K. H. T.
