abstract: As can be seen from this incomplete list of dental specialties and functions they perform in the hospital, there is an increasing participation of dental specialists in the delivery of total health care to the hospitalized patient. In order to disseminate knowledge further of the special protocols of hospital practice and of special hospital dentistry problems, the American Association of Hospital Dentists was formed and publishes a journal containing this special information.
