Newly published
The book Den tinal Fluid Transport (University Press,
Centennial Edition 1905- 2005; ISBN number 159410-008-X),
about the life research of Drs. Ralph Steinman and John
Leonora, was published this fall. It is a condensation of
nearly 100 of their articles and provides the basis of
the little-recognized DFT theory in which dental caries
resistance is ultimately hormonally mediated
(systemically inter-related through a newly discovered
Parotid Hormone). The compilation of these references by
Dr. Clyde Roggenkamp was partly sponsored by the
department of restorative dentistry. Sample book copies
were recently sent to Doody Enterprises, Inc., an
information clearinghouse that reviews and distributes
currently relevant book titles in the health sciences,
including dentistry. “If the book is accepted,”
says Dr. Roggenkamp, “the literature review of
Steinman’s and Leonora’s works should provide a
significant contribution to dental libraries for students
and researchers globally. Its title is entered on an
international registry, making it available on Google and
other information search engines. Richard Tinker designed
the cover. Also, Dr. Roggenkamp would like to thank to
Nelia Wurangian-Caan, associate librarian, Del E. Webb
Memorial Library, for providing Library of Congress
application advice and online contact information.
