The aim of this book is to make available to the profession of Dental Medicine and other interested parties the extensive literature of the past dealing with the diagnosis, description, causes, treatment and prevention of oral diseases. Drs. Shklar and Chernin are presenting the original texts concerning the diagnosis and management of oral diseases ranging from ancient Egypt through the world of the 20th Century. Until the 19th Century, the management of oral disease was an essential part of medical practice, and the texts on oral disease are to be found in the major medical and surgical treatises. The very first books on dentistry, such as the Artzey Buclein of the 16th century were mere compilations from the classical physicians of Greece and Rome, together with some Arabic texts that have been translated into Latin. Many of the basic texts of the past have already been translated into English, French and German from the original Sanskrit, Greek, Latin, and Arabic. However, a number of important texts have never been translated into English. The authors are presenting all these materials to the English reading professionals in Medicine and Dental Medicine in this 864 page reference book.
