Orthodontic Abstracts and Reviews 1331

A Spanish Orthodontic Journal. This department has received the announce- ment and the first number of a new orthodontic journal, which is written in the Spanish language and, therefore, is of interest to Spanish speaking orthodontists. The journal’s name is “Resena Odontologica.” It is pub- lished in Montevideo and appears bimonthly. Its editor is Dr. Oscar M. Aldecoa.

The first issue, consisting of 20 pages, contains the following articles : the physiologic movement of teeth, by Dr. Francisco M. Pucci; the construction of molar bands by the indirect. method, by Dr. Andres 0. Pisacco; the treat- ment of mutilated cases, by Dr. Oscar Bl. Aldecoa. The articles are illustrated by 38 figures.

This new publication is, especially under the present economic conditions, an encouraging and creditable undertaking, considering the fact that even some of the larger European countries have no journal exclusively dedicated to articles on orthodontia.
