Book excerpt: Excerpt from Surgery and Diseases of the Mouth and Jaws: A Practical Treatise on the Surgery and Diseases of the Mouth and Allied Structures No surgical truth has received greater emphasis in this war than the necessity of correlating the skill and the knowledge of the general and the dental surgeons in the treatment of the combined injuries of the face and the jaw bones. An eminent authority on military surgery said, after the war of 1870-71: I should not care to go through another campaign without having obtained competent technical assistance for those who have sustained injury of the face and fractured jaw." The present revision is mostly confined to the parts related to injury and sepsis and their treatment, and was done by the Section of Surgery of the Head, Subsection of Plastic and Oral Surgery, as an expeditious method of giving, in a correlated form, the sum of the observations of the many workers abroad, to whose reports and recommendations, published, written and verbal, this section had access. These were put forth in this form because, on the one hand, time did not permit of a full exposition of the subject in a special manual: while on the other, it would be of less utility and somewhat awkward to attempt to present these observations while disregarding the well-established principles upon which they are based. The subject of peridental infections has been rewritten by Dr. Arthur D. Black, of Chicago, and read by Dr. Thomas L. Gilmer, Most of the illustrations were furnished by Dr. Black. The chapter on local anesthesia has been revised by the original author, and that on general anesthesia by Dr. Ellis Fischel. Because of insufficient time, the other chapters, not referred to in this preface, were not revised. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
