✦ Synopsis
interested in these disorders, but who might not have a detailed knowledge of how the syndromes relate to the oral cavity.
The book is 200 pages long and has a glossary of dental terms; the typeface and format are conducive to easy reading. Each disorder is outlined in boldface and numbered, and each is illustrated with fairly good black-and-white figures. The authors describe in great detail the various syndromes that have oral manifestations, covering dental structures, oral and perioral soft tissues, jawbones, facial clefting, and involvement of multiple oral structures. References follow each discussion, enabling the reader to investigate each syndrome in greater depth.
The authors can be criticized for making their discussion of genetic counseling too brief and for not including color photographs of the normal anatomy of the oral cavity (as some of the fine details did not reproduce well in the black-andwhite figures).
However, the anatomy review, dental x-rays, and dental charts are all excellent. This is a reference book that should be in the library of anyone either associated with a craniofacial team or involved in performing craniofacial surgery.
