Book excerpt: Excerpt from Anatomy and Histology of the Mouth and Teeth In submitting to the dental profession a revised edition of this work, the author has embraced the opportunity to make such corrections and additions as were deemed advisable to further increase the value of the book and to make it worthy of at least a portion of the approval accorded the first edition. The general plan of the work has not been altered, and while some exceptions have been taken to including within its pages chapters devoted to the general anatomy of the mouth and its associated parts, it was decided, after due consideration, to allow this to remain. In the description of the teeth, the terms "superior" and "inferior" have been changed to "upper" and "lower" and the term "palatal" as applied to one of the tooth surfaces has been discarded, and the word "lingual" substituted. Substantial additions have been made to Part II (Chapters I, II, VII, etc.). It has been justly brought forward within recent years that there is a lack of interest and enthusiasm for collateral reading, special studies, and original investigation not only among students, but also among graduates of Dentistry. The experience gained in teaching has suggested to the authors that this is due to the fact that dental students use to a great extent text-books on Anatomy, Histology, and Embryology, chiefly intended for medical students, and they generally believe that most of the matter which is contained in these books is not intended for them, having no practical application. Their attention is therefore limited to those chapters which seem of importance to them, and thus an intelligent understanding of the subject is not obtained. Recognizing this fact, it seemed advisable to include in this Dental Text-book a description pertaining to general Cytology, general Embryology, and Histogenesis, and a further presentation of the significance of the facts thus gained for an intelligent understanding of the formation of the organs of the mouth. It has been the aim to present the subject in a concise and attractive form, including some illustrations which never before appeared in a work designed for dental students. It is the hope of the authors that the additions made will help to awaken an interest for collateral reading and thus elevate the standard of education among dental graduates.
