Quintessence, c2008


"Some of the most common pains occur in the orofacial region. Because this region of the body has special importance in eating, drinking, speech, and the expression of our feelings, pain occuring in this region has particular significance to the orofacial pain patient. The effect of chronic orofacial pain on a patient is particularly serious because it can be associated with emotional, psychologic, and social disturbances that compromise the patient's quality of life and well-being...Thus, there is a rapidly growing interest in the field of orofacial pain...The philosophy of this second edition remains true to that of its predecessor, namely to provide a based synthesis of the topic of orofacial pain through a translational bridging from molecules and celluar mechanisms to diagnostic and management approaches."

Quintessence, c2009

"Over the last 30 years, the development of new technologies and advances in clinical procedures have led to a steady integration of implant dentistry into daily practice. Dental professionals have had to broaden their range of skills in order to provide patients with the highest standard care. Education, however, has placed little emphasis on the identification of the degree of complexity and risk involved in individual procedures...In response to this situation, the ITI has formalized a system of classification for dental implant procedures to support clinicians at every level of expertise and experience."

ADULT FICTION
 

Sagebrush Dentist. by Dr. Will Frackelton

Sagebrush Dentist (as told to Herman Gastrell Seely) tells the story of a "tenderfoot dentist who saw the last days of the winning of the West." Characters such as Calamity Jane, Buffalo Bill, Indians of the Custer Massacre, veterans of Fort Kearny and a host of others were still on the scene. This is the real "he-man story" of the life of a man who had to establish his professional life as much through his fists, guns and main strength as by his dental skill.

Dentist of Auschwitz by Benjamin Jacobs

In 1941 Berek Jakubowicz (now Benjamin Jacobs) was deported from his Polish village and remained a prisoner of the Reich until the final days of the war. His possession of a few dental tools and rudimentary skills saved his life. Jacobs helped assemble V1 and V2 rockets in Buchenwald and Dora-Mittelbau; spent a year and a half in Auschwitz, where he was forced to remove gold teeth from corpses; and survived the RAF attack on three ocean liners turned prison camps in the Bay of Lubeck. (amazon site)

Aint No Valley: A Novel by Sharon Ewell Foster

The Daisy Ducks by Rick Boyer (available in Toronto Public Library)

The raunchy, adventure-seeking Boston dentist Doc Adams. In this, third in the series, Adams recounts his latest gaudy swashbuckling escapades, this time instigated by his buddy Liatis Roantis. Leader of the Daisy Ducks, a team of commandos in Vietnam, Roantis had stashed a fortune in Kowloon at the war's end. He wants Adams to help him retrieve the loot, but before they can plan the trip, the veteran is almost a dead Duck from a sniper shot. While Roantis recuperates, the dentist acts on suspicions that his friends' former comrades are guilty of the attack. Adams meets them all and they are gathered together at the book's furious, blood-chilling climax, even Roantis (well again) and the "Daisy," for whom the Ducks were fighting. Tough as the company is, no one in it can make Adams cringe as his fierce wife Mary does, when she catches up with her errant spouse. (Copyright 1986 Reed Business Information, Inc.)

She is a sweet-tempered dentist with a soft heart and a fabulous figure - the perfect political wife. He sets out to woo her as his bride, and the taste of victory is within reach....but not if fiery-tempered Alexis has anything to say about it.

POETRY

NON-FICTION

The Right Bite: Dentists as Detectives (24/7: Science Behind The Scene: Forensic Files) by Elizabeth Siris Wichester
With lots of gruesome detail, this slim title in the 24/7 Science behind the Scenes: Forensic Files series uses true-life cases to bring close how forensic dentists identify corpses by their teeth or bite marks. The interactive text is very chatty ("Say some forensic dentist needs to identify a victim"), and each double-page spread is filled with screens, boxes, color photos, and bits of information for browsers. Based on interviews with forensic dentists, the book discusses a murder conviction where the criminal left a bite mark on the victim, a plane crash where forensic dentists identified more than 100 victims, and more. Then there is today's headline drama: 87 percent of Asia's recent tsunami victims were identified by forensic dentists, who are now working with Katrina victims. A final section looks at tools and equipment, including the use of digital imaging. The "gross stuff" will draw readers, who will also enjoy the combination of science, disaster, and up-to-date detective work. (ALA)  

Doc Holliday: The Life and Legend by Gary L. Roberts

Doc Holliday, one of the most famous western gunfighters, died of tuberculosis at the ripe old age of 36. But he left behind him a legend so immense that, even with the addition of this effusively sourced biography, the truth about the man may never be known. There are a few facts: Holliday was a dentist, he became a gambler and a gunslinger, and he was involved in the infamous gunfight at the OK Corral. Roberts' role here is a bit like that of a judge, examining the testimonies and deciding which witnesses to believe and which to discard. The result is an engagingly written, persuasively argued, solidly documented work of scholarship that will surely take its place in the literature of the Old West. (amazon website)

The Fourth Horseman by Randy Lee Eickhoff (available in Toronto Public Library)

John Henry "Doc" Holliday first confronted death as an adolescent in Reconstruction Georgia in the mid-1860s. With Yankee carpetbaggers working diligently to strip what remained of southern dignity, young John shot a man when he bragged of molesting John's mother. After his father sent him away to protect him from the law, he gambled, drank, and immersed himself in the pleasures of the flesh. With the onset of tuberculosis, he went West, falling in with the Earp brothers and participating in the infamous shootout at the OK Corral. Although Eickhoff imbues Holliday with a mythic grandeur that--especially near the conclusion--becomes burdensome, this is still a great adventure, well told. (One cautionary note: southerner Holliday's attitude toward the black Union occupation troops is brutally racist.) (amazon site)

"This excursion into American cultural history looks at the toothpaste and toothbrush industries from 1900 to 2008. During these years, America moved from cleaning their teeth mostly with homemade powders to using enourmous array of brands, often applied with an electric toothbrush. From early 20th century products like Forhan's (which 'cured' pyorrhea) to the whiteners of the 1920s (which unfortunately also removed tooth enamel), and from paste that eliminated 'that clinging film' and to copywriters who 'wondered where the yellow went', the history of toothpaste has long been a testament of the power of misleading advertising."
