Dental Jurisprudence the Law Relating to Dentists and the Practice of Dentistry (Classic Reprint)

This work is designed as a text-book for dental students, and as a manual of the law relating to dentistry for the practitioner in that profession. An increasing number of States are requiring by law a knowledge of dental jurisprudence as a prerequisite to the right to practise dentistry, and it has seemed to the author that to provide a work comprehensively affording such knowledge would serve a useful purpose. Dentistry is now recognized both by statutory law and judicial decisions as a specialty of medicine and surgery, and the same need, therefore, exists among dentists as among physicians and surgeons for an understanding of their legal relations. The book was not written with the objdct of making every dentist his own lawyer, but it is hoped that it will assist its readers of the dental profession to a clear understanding of their relations to their own profession, to their patients and to the State. Chapter Xcontains the statutes of the United States, Great Britain, and their colonies governing the practice of dentistry. Most of these statutes are reprinted in full, but in a few cases sections not of immediate use or interest to dentists or dental students have been omitted. When omissions occur the subject matter of the omitted portions is indicated in the text. W. E. M. Philadelphia,
