Operative Dentistry LEROY L. HARTMAN. D.D.S.. Sc.D. Professor of Dentistry In our lifetime, we are seeing history written; we are watching progress in every field, espe- cially medicine and surgery. Dentistry, too, partakes in that forward march of events. More advances will be made in the next ten years than in the past fifty; even from war some good will come. New methods and new materials will bring the greatest change in the practice of operative dentistry. These changes will be reflected in enhanced ability and skill for the operator, more comfort for the patient, and increased speed of operation. The excavation and prepa- ration of cavities by means of higher speed motors, new cutting instruments and diamond materials has already resulted in greatly im- proved methods, and may soon eliminate all present day discomfort. A wide range of new filling materials Avith cementing substances will be developed; these should satisfy esthetic as well as practical re- quirements. The use of plastics and cement which will become part of the tooth by being molded and cured in tlie cavity is not too stag- gering a concept for our present broadened vision. These new technics will not tax the ability of a well trained operator who has a good foundation and who thoroughly and conscientiously prepares himself for the new methods. As the profession progresses, and methods become better and easier, it will be rarer for teeth to be lost due to caries or pulp involve- ments. The control of dental caries by some as yet unknown process may be developed. How- ever, even in this eventuality the practice of operative dentistry would still be necessary for many years to come. Unless some very radical discoveries appear on the horizon, the practice of dentistry will al- ways be one of personal service. The patient- dentist relationship is on a truly professional basis when such sei- ' ice is the primaiy aim of the operator. The judgment and technical skill which you exhibit, along with the personal con- tacts with your patients during a series of ap- pointments are the main factors which will es- tablish your professional standing with your patients. Changes in the type of practice seem likely, however. Dentistry in die armed serv- ice of our country and in the public health pro- gram will reach many millions who have never heretofore had adequate dental care. After the present crisis is over, because of changes in economic conditions, group practices will prob- ably be established in all parts of the country where dentists will share their reception rooms, laboratories, and even their operating rooms. This will be in addition to large public health clinics. It is to be hoped though, that in the future dentistry will continue on a personal basis. If any other status is established it will no longer be a profession. In any case, a good operator will always find a place and will be much sought after. Skillful hands will still be necessary be- cause working in a mouth and on small objects like teeth requires digital dexterity. Years from now you will see the results of your own work. Then you will learn to appre- ciate what quality in service means. LEROY L. HARTIIAN 10
