Endodontic Practice, 11th ed. Grossman LI, Oliet S, Del Rio CE. Philadelphia, Lea & Febiger, 1988, 371 pages, 286 illustrations, $42.50

Many changes have occurred in endodontics during the 7 years since the last edition, and these are reflected by revision of the various chapters and the addition of an expanded, updated bibliography and many new illustra- tions. Of special interest to the oral and maxillofacial sur- geon are the chapters on treatment of traumatized teeth, endodontic surgery, and replantation, implantation, and endodontic implants.

Contemporary Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. Peterson LJ, Ellis E, Hupp JR, Tucker MR (eds), with six contrib- utors. St Louis, C.V. Mosby, 1988, 761 pages, 1,414 il- lustrations.

This book presents a comprehensive description of the basic oral surgery procedures, as well as a discussion of the more advanced aspects of oral and maxillofacial sur- gery. It is divided into sections on surgical principles, exodontia, preprosthetic surgery and implantology, odontogenic infections, oral lesions, trauma, dentofacial deformities, facial pain, and hospital protocol. Although designed primarily as an instructional text for dental stu- dents, much of the material is sufftciently comprehensive for residents and practitioners of oral and maxillofacial surgery.

How to Overcome Fear of Dentistry. Kroeger RF. Cincin- nati, Heritage Communications, 1988, 191 pages, 23 illus- trations, $9.95.

This is a self-help book designed to be recommended to fearful patients who are difficult to manage. It teaches a variety of behavioral modification techniques that enable them to learn to cope with and overcome their fears. Learning is facilitated by inclusion of many quizzes and self-help exercises.

Secondary and Functional Rhinoplasty: The Difficult Nose. Meyer R. Philadelphia, W.B. Saunders, 1988,464 pages, illustrated, $195.

This is a major treatise that describes most of the prob- lems that can face the surgeon who performs secondary rhinoplasty and provides solutions for these conditions. There are numerous colored clinical photographs demon- strating the various deformities and drawings illustrating most of the techniques for their correction. Chapters are also included on nasal anatomy and physiology, preoper- ative evaluation, and rhinoplasty in cleft patients and chil- dren.

Oral Pathology. van der Waal I, van der Kwast WAM. Chicago, Quintessence, 1988, 392 pages, illustrated.

This book brings together the clinical, radiographic, histologic, and therapeutic aspects of the many lesions and diseases that may occur in the oral cavity. The clin- ical photographs and photomicrographs are all repro- duced in color, adding to their diagnostic value. A sum- mary chapter classifying the various conditions under the categories of ulcers, white lesions, pigmentations, swell- ings, radiopacities, and radiolucencies adds further to the clinical usefulness of this text.

A Textbook of Occlusion. Mohl NO, Zarb GA, Carlsson GE, Rugh JD (eds), with 25 contributors. Chicago, Quin- tessence, 1988, 413 pages, illustrated.

This book departs from the classical concept of occlu- sion as involving only tooth contact to a much broader approach concerned with ail of the factors that bring about, affect, or result from mandibular position, func- tion, parafunction, and dysfunction. It provides informa- tion on biological evolution, development, histology, anatomy, biomechanics, physiology, adaptation, pathol- ogy, the behavioral sciences, and clinical diagnoses and therapy. The approach to the various subjects is compre- hensive, and no attempt is made to present a single con- cept or point of view.

Endodontology: Biologic Considerations in Endodontic Pro- cedures, 2nd ed. Setzer S, with assistance of Krasner P. Philadelphia, Lea & Febiger, 1988, 566 pages, 431 illus- trations, $59.50.

The biological information necessary for properly un- derstanding the etiology, pathology, and treatment of endodontic lesions is presented in this comprehensive text. It contains new information on bone metabolism, microbiology, immunology, pain control, endodontic- periodontic interrelationships and implantology. There are numerous illustrations and photomicrographs, as well as an extensive bibliography.

Pediatric Dentistry: Infancy Through Adolescence. Pinkham JR (ed), with 23 contributors, Philadelphia, W.B. Saunders, 1988, 574 pages, 245 illustrations, paper- back, $34.95.

This book differs from most others on pediatric den- tistry by presenting information according to a develop- mental organization. After a number of introductory chapters dealing with basic information pertinent to chil- dren of all ages, the remaining chapters are divided on the basis of four major age groups, addressing the special physical, cognitive, emotional, and social aspects, as well as examination requirements, prevention needs, and treatment considerations of each group. Although there is considerable material related to nonsurgical aspects of pediatric dentistry, many of the introductory chapters and much of the information on physical, cognitive, emo- tional, and social changes that occur over time should be of interest to everyone who treats children.
