Book Description

Excerpt from Operative Technics: A Convenient Reference Manual for Practitioners and Students of Dentistry The effort has been made to so condense, simplify and systematize the presentation of the subject matter that it will at once attract the eye and hold the attention of the as yet untrained mind. Very little of originality, except in the presentation of the subject, is claimed for the work, the author having in the main followed the accepted teachings of such writers as G. V. Black, A. E. Webster, Thomas E. Weeks, D. M. Cattell, Fred W. Jethro, C. N. Johnson, D. M. Gallie, Marcus L. Ward, John Sayre Marshall, T. N. Broomell, Philipp Fischelis, Otto E. Inglis, J. P. Buckley, L. M. Waugh, Chas. J. Essig, Augustus Koenig, J. D. Hodgson, W. Clyde Davis and others. The writer has endeavored to follow out in the presentation of the subject the ideas accepted and recommended by the Institute of Dental Pedagogics as incorporated in the published transactions of that body, and the work has been examined by the Commission on Text-books of that organization. The technical exercises have been outlined after a study of the courses as taught in many of the prominent schools, and after an experience of fifteen years as a teacher of the subject. They may be modified according to the judgment of the teacher to suit the needs of any classes. If the work proves to be of assistance to teachers in outlining their courses and to the'great body^of young'men yearly entering upon the study of a noble profession, in acquiring a knowledge of the subjects of Dental Anatomy and elementary Operative Dentistry, the author will feel well repaid for the labor expended in its preparation.
