Seventeen contributions, presented by Gluck (reconstructive and comprehensive care, New York U. College of Dentistry) and Morganstein (oral health care delivery, Baltimore College of Dental Surgery), explore the place of dentistry within the organizational and recent policy history of public health in this fifth edition of an undergraduate-level textbook. The chapters are organized into sections exploring dental care delivery, demographic shifts and dental health, distribution of dental disease and prevention, research in dental public health, and ethics and the law in community dental health. The primary focus of the material is on realities in the United States, but some wider issues are also explored, such as the impact of globalization. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
