An Essay On The Structure And Formation Of The Teeth In Man And Various Animals by Robert Blake is a comprehensive treatise on dental anatomy, development, and variation. Blake explains the origin of the temporary teeth and the succession to permanent teeth, detailing the pulp, alveolar membranes, cortex striatus, and crusta petrofa, and how their interplay forms tooth structure. He describes eruption and shedding sequences, and discusses irregularities, supernumerary teeth, and the effect of jaw growth on dental arrangement. The work compares dentition across carnivores, herbivores, and aquatic species, illustrating adaptations in elephants, beavers, sharks, and horses. It also critiques earlier authorities, offers practical observations on teething and dental disease, and considers management, including cautions about lancing the gums. Rich copper-plate illustrations accompany the text. The treatise situates human dentition within a broader natural history of teeth, contributing to an understanding of structure, formation, and function in mammals.
