About this title

Synopsis

The Works Of John Hunter, With Notes, Ed. By J.F. Palmer. 4 Vols., Illustr. By A Vol. Of Plates by John Hunter. This nineteenth-century edition compiles Hunter's foundational dental science writings, edited by James F. Palmer with Thomas Bell's annotations. It presents an anatomy-first program that treats dentistry as a physiological and pathological science. Part I, The Natural History of the Human Teeth, surveys the anatomy and development of the teeth, jaws, and supporting structures, detailing the temporomandibular joint, muscles of mastication, tooth structure (enamel, dentin, pulp), gums, alveolar sockets, tooth positioning, and the formation and eruption of teeth. Part II introduces clinical disease topics, emphasizing the connections between oral health and systemic health, and outlining early diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to caries and other dental diseases. The work reflects careful observation, plate-based illustration, and debates about tooth vitality, vascularity, and the living principle, aiming to standardize dental knowledge within medical science for surgeons and dentists of the era.
