Oral Physiology,
Good teeth and their normal use play an important role in the maintenance of optimum health. This was the philosophy of John T. O'Rourke, DDS, who wrote ORAL PHYSIOLOGY, published in 1951 by the C. V. Mosby Co., St. Louis.

In the 333-page hardbound book's 14 chapters are discussions of the prevalence of dental disease; chief functions of the mouth; mastication; mastication in domestic animals; mastication in relation to deglutiton; mastication in relation to other parts of the alimentary tract; taste, smell and otehr sensations in relation to matication; mastication's significance to children; geriatric relationships; saliva; factors interfering with normal mastication; adaptations to deficient masticatory functions; nutritional implications; and relation of the physical character of diet to the health of supporting tissues.

The book is in Very Good condition, although it is ex lib with the usual library markings. There are no other apparent defects -- inside or out! (5164)
