Excerpt from Surgery and Diseases of the Mouth and Jaws: A Practical Treatise on the Surgery and Diseases of the Mouth and Allied Structures In spite of all of the special work that has been done in the study of the teeth and allied structures, the ordinary standard of surgical treat ment given to diseases and deformities of the mouth does not equal that attained in other regions. This is due largely to a rather general lack of reciprocity of ideas and observations between constructive workers in the medical, with those of the dental professions. It was with the hope of presenting their more pertinent observations and deductions in a coordinated scheme that the present work was undertaken. This attempt has been made-possible by the untiring efforts that the author's many associates in the dental profession have always made to help him solve cases that contained dental problems. For the benefit of his dental students certain chapters on surgical pathology and surgical principles have been included. As hemorrhage is often a serious matter in mouth operations, this has been considered at some length. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
