The Journal has received two copies of a new publication entitled:
Orthodontics Select
This is produced monthly by Oakstone Medical Publishing, and is endorsed by the American Association of Orthodontists.
It describes itself as a new CDE- accredited newsletter for active practitioners. The contents of 16 orthodontic journals (including the Journal of Orthodontics and the European Journal of Orthodontics) are scanned and presented as 5 articles that critique (sic) and analyse trends in orthodontics, up to 15 abstracts of other important articles with commentary and a true-false quiz (although in both copies that we have received there has been no quiz – which saves your reviewer some potential embarrassment). There is also an original article by ‘ a noted expert’.
It is a slightly expanded version of this section of your Journal, i.e. it is a current awareness organ, that will only cost you $249 if you are an AAO member.
Glossary of Orthodontic Terms
First Edition
John Daskalogiannakis
Quintessence Publishing Co, 2000
297pp, Hardback, £65
ISBN 3-87652-760-0
When I opened the package in which this book arrived, my heart began to sink. To review a glossary seemed scarcely more appealing as an activity than reading the telephone directory. But before long I was warming to the task. The attractive format, well-written text and clear illustrations all tempt one to dip and browse. If you want to know about the Stockfisch Kinetor or superelasticity, Gjessing springs or glycosaminoglycans, differential force or Dillon dimples, you will find an article here, together with informative articles on a wealth of other orthodontic topics.
Although the declared objective of the book is to record the accurate usage of terminology in the current interdisciplinary practice of orthodontics, in practice the book ranges well beyond the simple definition of terms and provides considerable background material on many topics. In this sense it is debatable whether the word ‘glossary’ does justice to its contents.
The book constitutes the initial volume of the series of collaborative productions styled ‘Dynamics of Orthodontics’ covering the whole scope of orthodontics under the sponsorship of the World Federation of Orthodontists. It comes with a CD-ROM which contains the full text of the book with a search facility and other utilities. The generally good standard of book production was marred by the absence of 167–182 in the review copy. Although the layout is spacious and clear, the formatting of subsections in long articles (eg ‘Appliance’) is poorly handled and navigation is hampered by subheadings which are indistinguishable from main headings. In a glossary such as this long articles would be better broken up into a series of shorter free-standing articles. There is a lengthy bibliography at the end which is presumably provided more by way of acknowledgement than as a facility for users, as the references are not classified in any usable way.
In compiling a glossary, the question of what and how much to include is inevitably a matter of personal preference, and to satisfy all tastes would no doubt require an encyclopaedia; the balance of this book has been tilted towards basic sciences, mechanics and materials. Even so, there are unaccountable variations in the depth of treatment. Burstone's geometry classes occupy nearly two pages, surface roughness has seventeen lines, tarnish has fifteen lines whilst malocclusion is allocated a mere three lines and hypodontia two lines. The jargon of modern clinical research is largely absent, with placebo making a lonely entry. UK readers may regret that removable appliances receive only a perfunctory comment. Bracket prescriptions are touched on rather too briefly – details of standard prescriptions such as Andrews and Roth would have added to the book's value as a work of reference. Similarly the cephalometric entries stop short of adding data on normal values.
Specific items of information can be unnecessarily difficult to locate. According to normal convention entries would be listed under the primary topic, with qualifiers following, as in ‘Clasp, Adams’ or ‘Bone, basal’. Unfortunately this convention has not been followed consistently by the compilers and entries often appear confusingly under the qualifier instead eg ‘Orthodontic magnets’ or ‘Functional Jaw Orthopedics’ leading to much unnecessary page-turning and cross-referencing. The pages are in fact littered with cross references which at a rough estimate occupy around a quarter of the column space. A prime example is the first page of the ‘B’ section where 24 out of 26 entries are cross-references. This is admittedly less of a nuisance in the CD-ROM version where cross-references become links and using the search facility can take one straight to the correct entry. In fact one gains the distinct impression that the publication may have been assembled primarily with the CD-ROM in mind. Most of the problems could readily be addressed by adding an index to the book, abolishing the cross-references and using the space released to make good some of the deficiencies in coverage.
Despite all criticism, this is an attractive publication which fills a niche and will no doubt be improved in subsequent editions. Practising orthodontists may well enjoy owning a copy to consult from time to time, but it will be of more interest to undergraduate and postgraduate students who would find it useful to have on the library shelves for reference. Few students will actually want to purchase the book as it would not serve as a textbook in its own right; to appeal to the student market it would need to have been more modestly conceived as a pocket dictionary of orthodontics and priced accordingly.

Handbook of Oral Disease
Diagnosis and management
Crispian Scully; Martin Dunitz 1999
As the title suggests, this text is intended as a ready office reference for the diagnosis and management of oral conditions. The book is remarkably well structured to meet this end. The first chapter is organised according to presenting signs and symptoms and subsequent chapters correspond to the sites that are predominately affected in specific oral disorders such as the tongue, lips, gingivae, and palate. Other chapters address pain of neurological or vascular background and orofacial conditions with a significant psychogenic component. The largest section of the book, representing about half of the text, is devoted to mucosal disorders. Within each chapter conditions are presented in alphabetical order and there is good cross-referencing.
The content is comprehensive and for a given condition there is a systematic appraisal of aetiology, clinical presentation and management. The rigorous adherence to this format and the clear subheadings ensure that the text is both comprehensive and easy to access. The aetiologies are clear and concise and take account of recent research.
There are over 350 illustrations of excellent quality. Of note is the inclusion of several examples of the more common disorders, demonstrating the variable presentation, which can confuse those encountering the conditions infrequently. For example, there are 16 clinical pictures of recurrent apthous stomatitis. Summary tables are clear and appropriate and a few helpful figures are included, for example, an explanation of the pathogenesis of Behcet's syndrome.
The management of oral disorders is summarised in the relevant chapter and then further details of therapeutic options are discussed in the final chapter on ‘Diagnosis and Treatment’. This is a very helpful approach to management which, can be difficult to address without a text becoming confusing or repetitious.
In summary, I highly recommend this excellent handbook as a ready reference in the management of orofacial conditions.
