Synopsis

Excerpt from Descriptive Anatomy of the Human Teeth

It has been my object to systematize the nomenclature most in vogue with the profession, whenever practical, rather than to introduce new terms. However, the reader will find a. Few new terms, and possibly a few old ones, that are used differently from the former custom. The -terms up and down, to indicate direction or parts of teeth, are abandoned, because of their ambiguity. In a few instances, new forms of old words have been used, especially to avoid the terms inner, outer, backward, forward, etc., which are so often mis leading. The words mesial, distal, labial, buccal, lingual, etc., are used as adverbs of direction by adding ly, or the same thing is accomplished by the use of the preposition to. It is as easy to say of a cavity that it extends far beyond beyond, to, or nearly to, to the gingival line, as to say it ex tends up or''down, etc., and the meaning will not be mistaken; or to say that a cavity extends distally, or to the distal, or lingually, or to the lingual, instead of backward, or inward, either of which has different meanings in different situa tions. The best rule is to use no extraneous object in the designation of the parts of, or direction on, the surface of a tooth; but to confine the phraseology to the specific and well defined terms applied to its several parts. The back part of a molar would not mean the same relative part as the back part of an incisor. In many such ways the author has endeavored to systematize, and make more definite, the phraseology applied to the teeth without. Going to extremes knowing well that forms of language once in use can be im proved more easily than they can be displaced by new terms, though more exact.

The absence of a Bibliography may be noted. The plan and object of this work has not seemed to call for many references to authorities. This does not imply, however, that authors who have preceded me, as Fox, Carabelli, Tomes, Wedl, Judd, Wor

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
