Excerpt from The Dental Record, Vol. 2 Of the four typical modes of attachment of teeth, the method of insertion in sockets, or gomphosis, attains in all extant orders of Mammalia possessing true teeth, except in some Cetaceans. This form of attachment also exists in Crocodilia, and with the rostral teeth of Pristis. On this occasion the consideration of the general subject of the attachment of teeth is confined to the limited zoological area of man, an aspect of the question which immediately concerns the dentist, and the correspondent, "Student." Though in this article there may not be stated anything that is not already known, yet, if it amount to only a reiteration of structural and physiological facts, with their bearing on certain of the more common pathological conditions, some useful purpose may be served. The Alveolar-Dental Membrane, or Dental Periosteum, is the membrane which fixes the tooth to the walls of the socket. In structure it consists of four elements - fibrous tissues, cells, blood vessels, and nerves. The Fibrous tissue is more or less dense, tough, and of the white fibrous (connective tissue) variety. Very little yellow elastic tissue is to be found, and, those modified connective elements, fat cells, are not regarded as entering into its structure. The fibrous tissue is thicker at the neck of a tooth than it is at the deeper parts of the socket. It runs obliquely from the bone of the alveolus to the cementum of the tooth; and, in all the longitudinal sections that I have examined, this obliquity is more pronounced in a direction from the bone towards the apex of the root. Therefore, the teeth of the lower jaw may be said to hang in their sockets, but with regard to those of the upper jaw, though the fibres pursue a similar course, the principles of gravitation preclude the use of the same simile.

Explore European dentistry with Volume 4 of The Dental Record, which summarizes the work of dentists in Europe throughout the year. The book includes scientific research, reports from dental associations, coursework from dental school, veterinary reports and information about laws and regulations. There are several sections which are primarily concerned with dental students. There are articles on how to comport oneself as a dentist, as well as how to diagnose and treat patients. Many European medical schools submitted extensive materials for The Dental Record, the entire course of study for these schools is summarized, including academic requisites, fees, syllabi, coursework and examinations. There are a plethora of lengthy articles discussing dental equipment of the time; one such article analyses the use of electricity in dentistry and surgery, including a detailed description of batteries and electric lights, followed by a discussion of how the equipment is applied to dentistry. Similarly technical articles appear throughout the journal, each with corresponding sketches and diagrams. State regulation of dentistry was more advanced in Europe than in America, and this book discusses the various laws and regulations on the practice of dentistry. Court cases are reported upon for the information of dentists practising in the corresponding jurisdictions. The Dental Record is not limited to human dentistry, with papers from veterinarians regarding animal dentistry also included in the book. The Dental Record is more science and research oriented than its American cousin, The Archives of Dentistry, the latter of which is more like an almanac than scholarly journal. Still, readers of The Dental Record can expect to gain a thorough understanding of the science underlying the practice of dentistry in Europe in the late 19th Century. Researchers in law, science and dentistry will enjoy this volume. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Dental Cosmos, 1861, Vol. 2: A Monthly Record of Dental Science The second chapter will be devoted to the study of the genesis and constitution of the follicle, considered from the moment Of the appear ance of the bulb, which is always first produced, until the commencement Of the production of the tooth - that is to say, to the birth Of the first hollow crown or cap of the dentine. The third chapter will treat Of the manner of origin and development of the constituent parts Of the tooth - ivory, enamel, and dentine; and also Of the structure of the formative organs of these parts. Finally, in the fourth and last chapter, we will describe, in discussing them, the processes that have been followed in order to ascertain the anatomical and physiological particularities mentioned in the first three chapters. The Observation of the facts upon which this treatise rests is, if not easy, at least fruitful in results of great accuracy. The transparency of the parts is favorable to observation, and permits great distinctness in fol lowing the outlines which limit eachiof the organs under consideration; these outlines are at first diffuse, then more and more distinct. When an iso lated preparation is studied for the first time, it is found very perplexing to give an exact interpretation of such and such of these outlines, or of the nature of the organ limited by them; but as the same preparation may unite in itself a series of juxtaposed follicles, the constancy and regularity Of the relations which affect the organs that constitute them give a certain preciseness to the decision of the nature of the objects. Finally, this decision becomes at the same time easy and accurate, when the Observation is made on a series of pieces from the same subject at different ages, or on pieces belonging to distinct species. The compari son of these organs at their different periods in the same animal, and the comparison of the follicles in different species, always Show Similar ana tomic relations, (excepting some secondary differences in form and Size;) this leaves no place for doubt relative to the nature and Office Of each Of the constituent parts Of the follicular apparatus.
