America, during the early portion of this period, was active in producing
new editions of standard works. The progress of American dentistry was an
incentive to the publication of the first separate work devoted to its history,
viz.: "The History of Dental and Oral Science in America," by .1. E. Dexter
(1876). prepared under the direction of the American Academy of Dental
Science. Kingsley's "Oral Deformities," published in 1880, maybe consid-
ered the pioneer work in tiie field of ortliodontia. '• Plastics and Plastic Fill-
ing." by J. F. Flagg, appeared in 1882. The first edition of Essig's " Dental
Metallurgy" was published in 1882. " Notes on Operative Dentistry," by the
peerless Marshall H. Webb, appeared the year of his death, 1883 ; and Gorgas"
" Dental Medicine," the first edition of which appeared in 1884, has linked the
name of this prolific writer with the pharmacopoeia of the profession.
The exigencies of space forbid the mention of all the numerous works Amer-
ica has produced during the last two decades, which testify to those improve-
ments which have so closely associated America with practical dentistry, and
demonstrate that scientific investigations are not neglected in our country.
