Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Text-Book of Prosthetic Dentistry: In Contributions by Eminent Authorities If the Editor interprets correctly the prevailing opinion of the dental profession as reflected in the utterances of many teachers, the issue of an extended and strictly modern text-book upon the Principles and Practice of Prosthetic Dentistry will answer a need of the times. During the past thirty years the practice of prosthesis has undergone a transformation parallel with that of operative dentistry during the same period. Plans, operations, and methods which, despite the retrospective asseverations of many, were but crude and indefinite, have received a development which has widened this branch of dental practice and greatly increased its utility. There is contained in the body of the present volume the material which a consensus of opinion declares the best that dental prosthetic art has evolved. It is designed to answer the purposes of a text-book for the under-graduate student, a clear and thorough laboratory manual, and a work of reference for the dental practitioner. In conformity with these plans, the central object is the exposition of principles and the teaching of their practical application. No effort has been spared by Editor and collaborators to survey, arrange, and classify the mass of data gleaned from the literature of the past fifty years and from the practice of those who have raised prosthetic dentistry to its present plane. In arranging this vast accumulation of material so that one case might be correctly placed as representative of a class, matters which are not directly pertinent to the subject of laboratory technology are deliberately excluded from these pages, it being confidently believed that a mastery of the technique and materials presented will give the student a command of the subject throughout its many ramifications. The means employed to this end are lucidity of description and such a wealth of illustration as to render the text as clear as words and pictures can make it. Particularly in the matter of engravings the publishers have been more than liberal, desiring that the book should, above all, fill the gap complained of by teachers - the want of a complete and modern text-book from which obsolete and useless material should be expunged.
