Excerpt from The American Text-Book of Operative Dentistry: In Contributions by Eminent Authorities The demand for a new edition of the American Text-book of Opera tive Dentistry has necessitated much more than a mere revision of the previous text. The work has been largely rewritten and the fifth edition is therefore practically a new book. Such a radical change has been rendered necessary by the rapid evolution which has taken place throughout the entire domain of the science and art of dentistry since the publication of the previous edition. The accumulation of new data, the investigation of the deeper problems of dental science, and the modification exerted by these factors upon the practice of dentistry have wrought changes that in certain departments are little less than revolutionary. So rapid and far-reaching in their effects are many of the changes which have taken place that the whole subject of operative dentistry has been and still is in a state of ux. The mirroring of the progressive m'ovement in operative dentistry will be evident in the plan as well as in the text of this work. The constantly growing demand for preventive dentistry has made it necessary to treat several subjects in a much more extensive manner than has been done in former editions in order that the undergraduate student may more intelligently comprehend preventive dentistry in its relation to all other operative procedures. It is fully recognized that the scientific basis of many of the subjects which constitute preventive dentistry in its broadest sense is much more fully elaborated in the present work than would be justifiable in a treatise or text-book devoted exclusively to operative dentistry as an art; but as there appears to be a demand upon the part of students and practitioners for a volume furnishing a comprehensive View of the fundamental principles upon which alone an intelligent and rational practice may be based, the treatment of the' subject of operative dentistry in the present work has been extended to include those principles.

Excerpt from Operative Dentistry for Children: A d104 Book Dealing With the Prophylactic and Curative Treatment of the Teeth of the Child, Based Upon Experiences Gained During More Than Twenty-Five Years Devoted to the Care of Children Exclusively If we are going to live up to the slogan, Add ten years to life, why not begin at the logical time, to store up good health and resistance to disease by the conservation of sound teeth and healthy soft tissues in the oral cavity? Why not be prepared to do thorough constructive work from the earliest period at which the parent can be induced to bring a child instead of saying, when consulted, as thousands of dentists are still advising, There is no need of work on the first teeth. There is the greatest need of work on these first teeth, as is proved by the fact that eigthy per cent Of school children suffer from dental caries. This refusal of many dentists to care for the youngest children - and the resulting foci Of infection in the mouths of children - has brought the dental profession into disrepute. Dental caries is a preventable disease of childhood, due to incorrect diet and lack Of care. That it is not wholly due to disease is shown by children who, though ill from birth, through continuous care have perfect teeth. That it is not due to heredity is shown by children with perfect teeth where the parents have very bad teeth. Carious teeth sometimes seem to be inherited, but upon investigation will be found to be the result of imitating the bad habits Of the parents. Dental caries could be eradicated in a generation as certainly as have been yellow fever and the plagues. Instead of destroying the deadly mosquito and flea, it would only be necessary to rid the country Of the more deadly candy shop and grocery store, get most of our living from the vegetable garden and the family cow, and apply the teachings of oral hygiene. The examinations made during the war disclosed the dire results of neglected teeth in childhood. These examinations were made Of the young men of the nation; but no doubt an equal or even larger number Of girls and young women are as far below normal. This indicates that the future health and morals of the nation are in great danger. It also throws an immense responsibility upon the dental profession. In no other way could more loyal service be rendered to our country than by building up a vigorous race through eradicating dental caries in childhood.
