Dental Materials Herbert D. Avers Jr., A.B., D.D.S. Inst, in Dentistry Wise selection of materials becomes more complicated with the introduction of new prod- ucts. A new material will seem superior in some property to any established one. To refrain from hasty acceptance is difficult, to discard the new as untried is blind. Predict the action of new materials by using test data to make sound selec- tions. Dimensional stability remains a vital property to consider in a restorative material. If it cannot be placed easily, no one will use it, if it appears unesthetic or causes pain, no one will accept it. If it gradually changes its size, all the other properties are not enough to justify its use. Herbert D. Ayers, Jr. Dental History William H. Leak, D.D.S. Lecturer in Dental History Curator of the Museum Fifty years ago a good dentist was so rated by his ability to place a fine cohesive gold filling. The developments at that time were mainly of a mechanical nature. The main consideration was the need for good mastication to provide proper assimilation of food and thereby ensure good health. Dentistry had lost itself in its tech- nical aspects and became all but separated from the medical profession. Today while technical assets are being aug- mented, a great ilc.il of research in various sci- ences is directing thought to prevention of dental decay and improvement in general health. ii.liam 1 1.
