Description
"The digital edition of all books may be viewed on our website before purchase. Volume 10 of the The Dental Record summarizes the work of dentists in Europe throughout the year. The Dental Record includes scientific research, reports from dental associations and international conferences, as well as news and information about laws and regulations. As in other volumes of The Dental Record, dental societies present interesting cases and then open the floor to comment. This includes discussion about some of the side effects of relatively new treatments for pain like nitrous oxide, which is reported to cause paralysis in some patients.
The Dental Record also explores dental conferences which happened throughout Europe, like the Tenth International Medical Congress in Berlin, and resolutions and speeches from these conferences are reproduced in the book. It is the reports from the dental student societies that are the most amusing and entertaining material within The Dental Record, as the students take an irreverent look at dental studies and are liberal with puns and jokes.
The dental news is mostly concerned with court cases and regulation of the profession. Dentists who had been investigated for poor professional conduct and fraud in their credentials are discussed, with excerpts from the court decisions and even witness statements being included in the text. Some of these accounts will be of great interest to lawyers and legal scholars. The most fascinating article is "The Use and Abuse of the Dental Engine." Readers will be familiar with dental engines, which are the large chair-side appliances that run the dental tools your dentist uses during your appointment. According to this article, some dentists were adamantly opposed to the devices, describing them as "barbarous" terror instruments. The article is worth reading because it demonstrates that dentists were very concerned about the public perception that 'going to the dentist is terrifying'!
The debates about probable causes of dental problems and the best treatments for them is also interesting, even to those who are not physicians. Readers will look at the practice of dentistry in a whole new way after reading The Dental Record, as it is both entertaining and informative.
