A System of Dental Surgery (Classic Reprint)

In the following pages an attempt lias been made to produce within the limits of a manual a strictly practical work on Dental Surgery. In order to fulfil this object, it became necessary to enter upon the structure and development of the teeth and jaws in a limited degree only, and to leave untouched any historical account of the writings of those who have from time to time contributed to our knowledge in this branch of surgery. The diseases of the teeth, and of the parts subservient to them, together with the coincident maladies, have been treated of, so far as may be, in the natural order of their occurrence, and the structure and development of the tissues involved have been to some extent described before entering upon the diseases to which they are respectively liable. In a work devoted to the description of practical details, the modes of proceeding in the treatment of diseases, whether by operations or otherwise, must necessarily be those practised by the author. The methods adopted by others are known only through published descriptions, the mere reprint of which would be but a work of supererogation.
