The Dental Register, Vol. 45
A Monthly Journal of Dentistry; Devoted to the Interests of the Profession (Classic Reprint)

<i>The Dental Register</i> is a monthly journal of dentistry with a mission to provide articles and essays "devoted to the interests of the profession." This volume was edited by J. Taft, D.D.S. and with the help of associate editors Will H. Whitslar, D.D.S. and N. S. Hoff, D.D.S. This publication contains a diverse range of dentistry topics which afford the reader a fascinating glimpse into historic dentistry practices and dental issues in the mid-nineteenth century.<br><br>This volume covers a wide range of subjects including the thirty-first annual meeting of the American Dental Association, and the history of dentistry. In addition, some of the topics covered in the text are more academic in nature, such as: bone grafting, the best methods for preventing infection of operative wounds, and micro-organisms in the human mouth. Other topics focus on the administrative aspect of dentistry: conducting dental societies, patent rights, and an article on the forty-seventh annual meeting of the Mississippi Valley Association of Dental Surgeons. And, as expected, several of the articles in the register offer modern readers a level of entertainment via comparison to the past: rules for bathing, cocaine injections, and how the voice in female singers is affected by gynecological disorders.<br><br><i>The Dental Register</i> is a time capsule full of interesting and insightful information about the dentistry profession and dental issues from the mid-nineteenth century. The articles collected here cover a wide range of topics intended to both entertain and inform the reader.
