Description:Excerpt from An Introduction to Dental and Physiology Descriptive and Descriptive Applied Ax attempt has been made in the following pages to place before the reader a short account of the Essentials of Dental Anatomy and Physiology, and in consonance with the requirements of a utilitarian age. to indicate those aspects of such a subject which may have some direct practical bearing upon the science and art of Dental Surgery. Odontology is a matter of fundamental importance to one who has entered, or who is about to enter, upon the practice of this special branch of the treatment of disease. Hence it is important to decide what is necessary for the student to know, that he may be able to deal intelligently and intellectually with every phase of his adopted profession as he encounters it during his life's work. A further endeavour has been made to endow an admittedly unattractive topic with some degree of interest, and to create in the mind of the reader an atmosphere of regard which the contemplation of the Anatomy of the Teeth deserves and demands. Surely even a halo of romance can be found, if looked for, in this study, so closely is it interwoven with the Natural History of Man and animals on this planet. Human teeth have been imperishable structures - when not affected by disease - from countless ages; and their physical characters and enduring natures have been, are, and may be able to render them of the greatest value in medicolegal cases in which much happens to be involved. As an occasional means of identification of the illustrious dead, e. g., Louis XVII of France, and the Prince Imperial, son of Napoleon III, killed by the Zulus in 1879. or the victims of great calamities, such as extensive fires, like that of the Bazar de la Charite in Paris in 1897, the teeth, when exhibiting the results of surgical interference, have been found to be of enormous importance; in criminal cases their similar silent testimony may prove or disprove a legal argument; in the remains of prehistoric man they afford a clue to the nature of the food which supported life in those far-distant ages; and in indicating the habits of the individual of whose body they form a part, they may reveal the higher qualities or the baser constitution of his mental attributes. From a strictly scientific point of view, also, the modern zoologist, appreciating the value and importance of the dental armaments of the vertebrates, has employed some of their main features for the purpose of classifying and arranging, in their proper positions in the scheme of Natural History, several orders of mammals, such as the rodents, the whales, and the marsupials.
