Ryan was a dental surgeon in the U.S. Army at the beginning of the 20\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e century; this guide is an eye-opening history of dental practice during the era.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a practical primer for aspiring and practicing dentists, this book includes the basics of dental anatomy, various bacterial conditions of the mouth, plus types of fracture and dislocations of the jaw. Typical causes of dental pain, be it simple toothache or the more serious occurrences of nerve pain, are explained. Common surgeries on the mouth, and the pitfalls of post-operative care, receive detailed examination.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile Ryan's treatments and suggestions are outdated, he does make several poignant observations: he notes a deep correlation between dental hygiene and the emergence of disease in the teeth and gums. The most common patient he treated either had never cleaned their mouths, or had only done so on occasion. Importantly, this book demonstrates new technologies such as X-rays, which afforded Ryan and other army dentists a better capacity for diagnosis and treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn all, this book contains some eighty images - photographs and illustrations - of the dental practice undertaken by Edward Ryan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 86\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.21 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 26, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42710839623743,"sku":"9781789871265","price":17.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/8fa307f0e57cb88c28a8aa85cb32fcc3.webp?v=1765056358","url":"https:\/\/dhl-adrianne.myshopify.com\/products\/first-aid-dentistry-an-illustrated-history-of-dental-practice-by-a-u-s-army-surgeon-tooth-extraction-diseases-of-the-mouth-fractures-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
