This work presents a broad historical perspective on the evolution of periodontics from the prehistoric era to the present. Along the way, it highlights key figures and their contributions to our contemporary understanding and treatment of periodontal disease. Emphasizing periodontology's roots in the medical sciences, the book traces the impact of several landmark 19th-century discoveries - such as germ theory of disease, anaesthesia and X-rays - on modern periodontics. Half of the book focuses on emerging concepts of the 20th century. Details about the lives of well-known periodontal pioneers and ample quotes reveal the medical and scientific beliefs of the times. The text should lend clarity to the past and insight into the future of periodontics.

Source books are adjunct to teaching of general history, consisting of an anthology of oringinal contributions to a special field by various authors whose work is deemed by the editors to be of seminal importance. Numerous sourcebooks have been published of general medicine and of many medical specialties, but none had yet appeared on dentistry. A Sourcebook of Dental Medicine is not only an important source of original information for the dentist and the physician interested in historical aspects of their professions, but also for the scholar and the historian who wishes to explore the common background and subsequent development of medicine and dentistry. This book encompasses in its 860 pages, the "Knowledge of Dental Medicine in Primitive Times and Early Ages of Civilization" (seven chapters), "The Classical and Middle Ages(Ancient and Medieval Times)" (four chapters), "The Renaissance and its Influence" (seven chapters) and "The Modern Era" (four chapters). Each chapter starts with an introductory description of the era followed by a brief biographical note of the author in question and a transcription of his/her major contribution to the field of dental medicine. Many of these important contributions had never been translated into English before the publication of this book. Thus texts that oringinally appeared in Arabic,Greek,German,French,Latin, and other languages can now be read in English. The book includes 140 articles, either in their entirety or their most relevant parts, and covering many authors, from the Ebers papyrus,Hippocrates and Celsus,to the Arabs,from Vesalius and Eustachius to van Leeuwenhoek,Fauchard and John Hunter, from Rudolf Virchow to W.D. Miller and N.N. Znamensky. The accomplishments of the 20th century are also covered, including the most relevant basic and clinical advance. The section devoted to Forensic Dentistry includes the autopsy report of Adolf Hitler from the Soviet archives and Reidar Sognnaes' identification by the dental features.

Shklar, Gerald was born on December 2, 1924 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Son of Louis and Ann (Schleifstein) Shklar. came to the United States, 1950, naturalized, 1955.
Bachelor of Science, McGill University, 1947. Doctor of Dental Surgery, McGill University, 1949. Master of Science, Tufts University, 1952.

He joined the Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF) in 1942 when he was 17 and trained as a radar operator in Harewood and Wigram. He did not see overseas' service as the Americans "had enough manpower in area". He represented the Island Bay electorate from 1969 to 1978.
In 1974 O’Brien as party vice-president was on the panel to choose the successor to Norman Kirk in the Sydenham electorate. Initially the three electorate representatives wanted John Kirk and the three head office nominees wanted the party secretary John Wybrow. O'Brien switched his vote to John Kirk, who got the nod.
He was charged over an incident in 1976 in Christchurch, where he allegedly asked two boys back to his motel room for a drink. He was subsequently deselected by Labour for the Island Bay electorate. In 1978, he was defeated as an independent candidate.
He ran against the official Labour candidate, Frank O'Flynn, and received some 3,700 votes at O'Flynn's expense, almost costing O'Flynn what had always been a Labour bastion. In the 1981 election, the Social Cr Party invited him to stand for his old Island Bay electorate, but he declined.

The charges were thrown out, and O'Brien maintains that it was nothing but an attempt by political enemies to "get rid of me". He also stated that he got more sympathy from members of the National Party than from his own party.
