Synopsis

Excerpt from A Work on Operative Dentistry, Vol. 1 of 2

HE injuries which occur to the hard tissues of the teeth dur ing their development, and which occur to them by accident or disease after they have grown, are peculiar to the enamel and dentin. They have no apparent relation or natural kinship with similar developmental or acquired injuries or diseases of other tissues of the body, except some atrophic injuries to the hair and nails. This is made so by the histological structure of these tissues, in that they have no power of repair and recovery from injuries. The hair, nails, and the continuous growing teeth of a few animals, while having no means of repair of developmental or acquired injuries, dispose of the injured parts by the pro vision for the wearing away Of the substance, and with this the defects. Growth continues to supply new material, and in this negative way may effect a repair.

The soft tissue appendages of the teeth, however, as the pulps, peridental membranes, alveolar processes, gums, etc., are developed under Similar histological, physiological and patho logical laws as other soft tissues and bones; and possess similar powers of repair.

The developmental injuries are confined to failure in develop ment Of parts of the enamel and dentin because of general sys temic conditions which interfere with nutrition at a time when some particular part of the tooth is being formed, or is growing, and the injury is confined to that part. Other tissues have the power of repair of such injuries later. Since the enamel and dentin do not have this power of self-repair, such injuries in them are permanent. There is a similar failure of self-repair in these tissues when injured by accident or disease after they have been formed, or have grown and completed their develop ment, such as accidental breakage of parts or injuries by erosion or by caries. AS these tissues are not subject to in?ammation.

Présentation de l'éditeur

The original intention in writing this book was to confine it strictly to a consideration of dental caries and its treatment, but later atrophy and erosion of the teeth were added. A trophy of the teeth seems now to have been completely made out both as to its causation and the principal forms of the injury to the hard tissues of the teeth, and it was thought best to place this information on record in permanent form. Much of the detail as to these injuries may, however, be discovered in the future. Our information regarding erosion is far from complete and it now seems probable that much time may elapse before its investigation will develop satisfactory results. I ts apparent increase in frequency and the great damage it is doing, calls for the closest study that the profession can give. Otherwise than the presentation of these two conditions, this book will be confined strictly to the consideration of dental caries and its treatment. This comprises the main features ofO perative Dentistry, though in fact it is only one department of our daily work at the chair. Diseases of the dental pulp, diseases of the peridental membranes, alveolar abscess, and the whole group of pathological conditions of the soft tissues, are subjects for another volume. The time has passed for including in one book all of the subjects of dentistry. While I have not been unmindful of the needs of the general practitioner in the preparation of the book, it has been planned especially for use of students in dental schools. The subjects are introduced and carried forward step by step, from the simpler to the more complex, with complete explanations of the nomenclature for the beginner in the work of preparing cavities and filling teeth. In the treatment of this subject, the questions of the pathology of caries applicable to the prevention of recurrence of decay after fillings have been
