The twentieth century saw impressive advances in science and information access and transfer, such that not only has the understanding of health and disease increased enormously, but the speed of transfer of the new knowledge into the clinical environment has accelerated in an almost incredible way. Thirty years ago, when I qualified in biochemistry, having acknowledged the growing importance of the understanding of cellular physiology aq.d ~olecular biology to clinical practice, I could not have foreseen the considerable changes ahead. Though there had been recognition of the importance of DNA, and the dawn of DNA technology, few could have imagined the rapid development of immunology (and the catastrophic advent of AIDS), the growth of molecular biology, the development of DNA technology, the dawn of information technology or the Human Genome Project-developments that have opened the way for tremendous leaps in our understanding of the biological sciences, which have (and will continue to) enhanced diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of disease. New words, acronyms, and abbreviations which could not have been foreseen, are now in daily usage. Examples include PCR, IT, ELISA, HIV, HPV, Western blot, CD4, p53, prions, DNA chips, gene therapy, recombinants, etc. Who indeed, could have predicted frazzle, or sonic hedgehogs!? There have been many significant advances in all fields but none more dramatic and exciting than those in the fields of biochemistry, immunology, molecular biology, and now genomics, and these have overflowed fnto all other aspects of clinical science and changed the face of all disciplines. The main aim of this handbook is to demonstrate why modern medical science is so"relevant to clinical dental practice. Dental staff are increasingly obliged to understand the language, fundamentals, and applications of these sciences. To this end, this book aims to outline the preclinical sciences as applied to dentistry, relevant to dental qualifying examinations such as BDS and DDS and, in some countries, to higher examinations such as MFDS. The authors are an international team of experts, gathered from most continents because of their experience of dental education and research in the applied basic sciences, and their willingness to participate in this project which was carried out solely by electronic mail. For this reason, and the fact that of the 300 million people worldwide who
I PREFACE speak English it is American English that is the major form (Bryson B. (1990). Mother Tongue. Penguin Books. London). we have adopted American spelling in this book. The information is presented in 58 chapters. assembled in eight parts covering relevant anatomy and development. pain and behavioral sciences. biochemistry. genomics. immunology, microbiology, pathology, and physiology. Lack of space has precluded the inclusion of other relevant sciences such as medicine, surgery. informatics. and pharmacology. The advances in the sciences, the changed content of subjects. and the relevance to dental clinical practice are well illustrated and the reader may be surprised to find that traditional boundaries between the biological sciences overlap and are increasingly blurred. Inevitably this leads to a certain amount of repetition. which we trust the reader will find useful.
