About this Item

1961. First edition. vii, 70pp. and 100 figures. Geoffrey Leslie Howe (1924-2014) was a British oral surgeon and educator. He writes in his Preface to this book that the student can become a proficient extractor of teeth only with practice. However, before he extracts his first tooth it is essential that he should understand the basic principles underlying the techniques which he must employ. The aim of this book is to help him to acquire this fundamental knowledge, and the author has attempted to emphasize basic principles and avoid extolling the virtues of particular instruments and techniques. For every tooth there is an easy 'back-door' method of extraction and these methods are outlined in this book. The book is bound in the original red cloth covered boards with black titling on the spine and front board. The case of the book is in very good condition with some shelf wear and light soiling to the boards. The contents are tight and clean with some notes written on the blank page facing the last page of the index at the end of the book. A name has been written on the front free endpaper.
