The Etiology Of Osseous Deformities Of The Head Face Jaws And Teeth PDF Download

Excerpt from The Etiology of Osseous Deformities of the Head, Face, Jaws: And Teeth The earlier editions of the present work were an outgrowth of researches which tended to oppose the too prevalent theory (erroneous in its deductions and vicious in its effects on practice) that irregularities of the teeth and jaws were the result of local, not constitutional conditions. The increasing volume of evidence against this theory has forced the author to extend the scope of his original inquiry into departments of oral and nasal medicine, and surgery of the eye, ear and face, so intimately related to dental medicine through the causation originally assigned for irregularities of the teeth and jaws. The alleged causative factors in the case of the nose and mouth were themselves often found to be of constitutional origin. The scope of the researches presented in this edition, therefore, while seemingly extended, arc practically confined to the limits of the original inquiry. The author desires to acknowledge his indebtedness to Drs. J. G. Kiernan, Richard Dewey, H. M. Bannister and James A. Lydston for valuable suggestions. Illustrations, Figs. 77, 78, 79, SO, 81, S2, S9, 90 and 91, are taken from the work of Zuckerkandl as reproduced by Bosworth (Diseases of the Nose and Throat).
