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.

The Etruscans and the History of Dentistry offers a study of the construction and use of gold dental appliances in ancient Etruscan culture, and their place within the framework of a general history of dentistry, with special emphasis on appliances, from Bronze Age Mesopotamia and Egypt to modern Europe and the Americas. Included are many of the ancient literary sources that refer to dentistry - or the lack thereof - in Greece and Rome, as well as the archaeological evidence of ancient dental health. The book challenges many past works in exposing modern scholars’ fallacies about ancient dentistry, while presenting the incontrovertible evidence of the Etruscans’ seemingly modern attitudes to cosmetic dentistry.
