Pediatric Dental Medicine. Forrester DJ, Wagner ML, Fleming J (Eds.) with 43 contributors. Philadelphia, Lea and Febiger, 1981, 692 pp. 484 illustrations, $48.50

The title of this book is misleading; it is actually a text on pediatric dentistry. However, it does contain some chapters that may be of interest to the oral and maxillo- facial surgeon. These include physical growth and de- velopment, postnatal growth, psychologic growth and de- velopment, disorders of speech, genetic diseases, oral pathology. oral habits, and minor oral surgery.

Endodontic Practice, 10th ed. Grossman LI. Philadel- phia, Lea and Febiger. 1981, 458 pp. 157 illustrations, $26.50

All aspects of endodontic therapy are considered in this new edition of a classic text. Chapters devoted to root resection, treatment of fractured and traumatized teeth, replantation. and transplantation are of particular interest to the oral and maxillofacial surgeon. The various techniques are discussed in great detail and are adequate- ly illustrated.

Pharmacology for the Anesthesiologist. Basak BK. Westport, Connecticut, Technomic Publishing Co, 1981. 209 pp, illustrated, $22.50

This book presents basic information about the various anesthetic agents and other drugs used during general and local anesthesia. There are discussions of preanes- thetic medications, inhalation anesthetics, sedatives, hypnotics. narcotics, neuroleptic drugs, neuromuscular blocking agents, local anesthetics, and various agents used to manage cardiovascular and other pertinent sys- temic disorders in patients undergoing anesthesia. There are also chapters on drug interactions and the placental transfer of drugs.

Oral-Facial Sensory and Motor Functions. Kawamura Y, Dubner R (Eds.). Chicago, Quintessence Publishing Co, 1981, 354 pp, illustrated

The recent expansion in neuroscience research related to sensory and motor function and dysfunction in the oro- facial area prompted the organization of an international symposium to review and discuss this vital subject. This book contains the papers presented at that symposium and provides considerable information on neurophysio- logic mechanisms related to jaw function, masticatory muscle reflexes. facial pain, and temporomandibular joint disorders.

Handbook of Experimental Stomatology. Dreizen S, Levy BM (Eds.). Boca Raton, Florida, CRC Press, Inc. 1981. 216 pp, illustrated, $59.00

Clinicians as well as researchers will find this book extremely interesting. It contains extensive reviews of past research in oral nutrition. oral medicine, and oral oncology. Among the topics included in over 30 sections are osteomyelitis, sialadenitis, nerve and muscle trans- section, clefts, irradiation, osteoradionecrosis, mucoceles, cysts and granulomas, and carcinogenesis. Study of this text not only should provide useful background material but also could lead to ideas regarding new areas of in- vestigation.

Clinical Arthrography. Arndt R-D, Horns JW. Gold RH. Baltimore, Williams and Wilkins, 1981. 212 pp. il- lustrated

Each chapter in this book is devoted to one joint, and discusses anatomy, technique of arthrography, normal radiographic findings, and pathologic findings. Included are chapters on the shoulder, knee, ankle. elbow, hip, wrist. and fingerjoints. and the temporomandibularjoint.

A Guide to Dental Radiography, 2nd ed. Mason RA. Littleton, Massachusetts, PSG Inc. 1981, 176 pp. 246 illustrations, paperback, $25.00

This book continues to provide a concise yet compre- hensive approach to the basic concepts of dental radiol- ogy. The chapter on tomography has been expanded. and a chapter on sialography has been added. The chapters on intra- and extraoral techniques are clearly written and well illustrated by drawings and radiographs.

Killey’s Fractures of the Middle Third of the Facial Skeleton, 4th ed. Banks P. Littleton, Massachusetts, PSG Inc. 1981, 96 pp, 50 illustrations, paperback, $12.50

In this new edition, the number of chapters has been re- duced to provide a more logical sequence and the material has been reorganized into other sections. Chapters cover such topics as surgical anatomy, classification, general patient management. definitive treatment, and control of pain and infection. Changes in these chapters have been made where there have been major alterations in therapy.

Basic Oral Physiology. Bradley RM. Chicago, Year Book Medical Publishers, 1981, 223 pp, illustrated, paper- back, $18.50

A knowledge of oral physiology is necessary to fully understand the changes that occur with disease. This book provides such information. Chapters deal with feed- ing, taste, olfaction. sensory perception, pain. salivation, muscle and joint receptors, mastication and vocalization. The material is presented in a concise, well-organized manner, with appropriate illustrations.

Chemistry and Biology of Mineralized Connective Tissue. Veis A (Ed.). New York, Elsevier North-Holland. 1981. 680 pp. illustrated, $95.00

The latest research related to mineralized tissues can be found in this compilation of 88 brief papers from the first international conference on the subject. Sections are devoted to such topics as collagen of bone, dentin. and cementum; organic matrix defects in metabolic and con- genital bone disease: the relationship between the organic and mineral phases: enzymes associated with mineraliza- tion; and bone induction. The discussion that followed presentation of the papers in each section is also included.

Microbiology in Clinical Dentistry. Orland FJ (Ed.). Littleton, Massachusetts. PSG. Inc. 1981. 282 pp. 95 il- lustrations. $32.50

This book was designed to be an easily read reference source for the busy practitioner. Chapters cover such subjects as microbially induced oral lesions, actinomyco- sis. herpes infections, genetics of microorganisms, and control of microbial activities associated with oral dis- ease. There are also specific chapters dealing with micro- biologic aspects of endodontics. periodontics. and oral surgery.
