The Dental Physician written by Aelred Fonder, DDS, FRSH is the newest book in PRI. Published in1977, this book provides great insight into treating the patient as a whole “system” rather than treating “dental issues.”
“Contemporary medical evidence of the unity of the human person abounds, but to present it would be to write our book in one chapter, for it is this concept which is the basic idea of the present work. The dentist is not dealing with teeth or peridontal tissue alone; he is dealing with a united soma, and more especially, he is treating the total person.” - Chapter One
