Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Archives of Dentistry was initially established as a consolidation between the Missouri Dental Journal and the New England Journal of Dentistry. Concerned about maintaining a reputation for relevancy, the publication operated under the modern practice of never re-publishing material that had previously been published elsewhere. As a result, the submissions in the Archives of Dentistry are fresh, interesting, and often provide incredibly unique insight into the lives of dentists and their professional practice at the turn of the nineteenth century. With several editors and dozens of original contributors, this volume contains submission on a variety of topics, including "the Hippocratic Oath," temperament in relation to teeth, crowded dentures, history of dentistry, modern practice, notable dental professionals, legal issues in practice, and ethical concerns. The amount of information and references available for the enthusiast is truly staggering. In addition, several tangential articles are included in this volume that may have seemed urgently relevant to the dentists of the past, but tickle the fancy of today's reader: the effect of tobacco on boys, the explosion of a tooth, and an antidote to arsenic. The submissions range in tone, quality, and useful information, but each provides an immeasurable level of entertainment. Archives of Dentistry is a fascinating read for individuals interested in dentistry, the historic practice of dentistry, ethical issues in healthcare, and notable dental professionals. A wide range of essays and articles offers the discriminating reader many topics to preview, from the mundane to the absurd. Comical at times, but always about dentistry, this publication is simultaneously entertaining and informative.
