Peláez, Francisco Antonio (1736-1805) Tratado de las Enfermedades de la Boca sobre Todas las Partes del Arte del Dentista.
Madrid: en la Oficina de Benito Cano, 1795.
First edition, octavo, illustrated with folding plate; bound in full contemporary marbled sheepskin, nicely preserved, 5 7/8 x 3 3/4 in.
Peláez's practical guide to the fundamentals of dentistry was very useful to practitioners in Spain because almost all other texts on the subject were written in Latin or French. Working from earlier dentists, like Fauchard, Peláez outlines basic mouth anatomy, and explains how the most common oral problems can be prevented. He writes about cleaning the teeth and whitening the enamel.
