A Text-Book of Dental Pathology and Therapeutics for Students and Practitioners, Based Upon the Original of Henry H. Burchard (Classic Reprint)

In re-ising this work for a new edition, the editor has endeavored to maintain the original idea of a text-book, furnishing a description of each dental disease and its treatment in such manner that teachers may find it a useful adjunct in the presentation of the subject of dental pathology and therapeutics to their students. Since the last edition a reprint has been necessary, owing to an unexpectedly large demand by the Government, and in consequence of this and the almost revolutionary changes which have occurred in the professional thought and because of natural de elopments from scientific investigations many changes have had to be made. It has been thought advisable to omit certain chapters dealing with subjects which are better covered in other approved textbooks and to include new chapters upon subjects which are germane to dental pathology. Thus, chapters on Prophylaxis, Radiography, Plantations, The Uses of Electricity inT herapeutics andR oot Amputation have been inserted. ]M any new illustrations have been added to take the place of some omitted and to enhance the elucidation of the subjects. Wherever quotations appear an endeavor has been made to credit the author, the idea to be presented has been the compelling motive rather than the writing of a history. Quotations have generally been made from current literature and from as limited a bibliography as possible in order that this work may have value added to it by reference to books and journals within easy reach of any who desire further details. The editor desires to thank those who have kindly loaned illustrations, and the publishers for their generous treatment, also the profession for its continued favor. O. E.
