current bibliography. Not left out are areas on hospital dentistry, pediatric behavioral management, pharma- cotherapy, dentistry for the mental and physically dis- abled, t”ne temporomandibular joint, geriatric dentistry, and operative dentistry.

Of particular interest is the first section on oral med- icine in which specific lesions or conditions are de- scribed, classified, and discussed. Next, a section on diagnosis is given and then the treatment or manage- ment of the particular disease is covered. These infor- mative areas are current and very worthwhile.

The chapters dealing with each facet of restorative dentistry are concise and technique-oriented to the point of discussing specific materials and instrumentations. The latest in dental materials including comments, com- posite resins, and newer crown systems are given. An excellent section on the pin-retained amalgam, with a sequential course of treatment for various situations, is presented.

Areas of dentistry not normally covered in an op- erative or dental materials textbook are included. The section on dentistry for persons with mental or physical disabilities is comprehensive in covering such items as the patient in a wheelchair, patient positioning, behavior management, and oral aspects of the disabled person. Preventive measures for protection in sports-related in- juries are discussed in detail. The section on hospital dentistry is well written, but very brief. Pharmaco- therapy provides an indepth discussion of the thera- peutic agents that are currently necessary in the practice of dentistry.

Limited coverage is given to orthodontics in this book. It is treated only in the section on coordinated surgery and orthodontic treatment with a limited text and two case reports. The only other mention is in the orthodontic assessment of the child patient. If the book has other shortcomings, it is in the brief amount of coverage given to fixed prosthodontics and to a lesser extent the illustrations for surgical removal of impacted teeth.

The book would be an excellent addition to the library of the general practitioner, and may serve as a good referral base for the dental specialist interested in any of the various aspects of current general dental practice.

Various preorthodontic periodontal procedures are described enabling periodontically involved teeth to be removed orthodontically in an optimal tissue environ- ment, thereby ensuring that teeth will remain both func- tional and esthetically pleasing at the end of treatment.

The authors believe that persons susceptible to peri- odontal conditions should be treated pe~odonti~ally first to prevent later periodontal defects follo~v~~g ortho- dontic therapy. Conjoint efforts by the periodontist and orthodontist in such cases would contribute toward maximal tooth stability.
