Operative Dentistry — its foundation In its early beginnings, operative dentistry included the extraction of teeth and pro- cedures necessary for the preservation of na- tural teeth and the placing of artificial crowns. Taken in this broad scope the history of op- erative dentistry could be that of all dentistry. Samuel S. White, in an address he once made, stated, It is impossible to discover when, where, and by whom the operation of filling teeth was introduced. Perhaps so, but this much seems certain; operative dentistry made its greatest stride forward with the works of G. V. Black, so rightfully called the father of modern dentistry. His contributions to scientific procedures in the restoration of teeth, in the fields of scientific cavity prepara- tion, the physical nature and manipulation of materials, the forces of mastication and in many additional fields were the most eminent in the history of operative dentistry. Black in his definition of operative dentistry included, . . . those operations upon the nat- ural teeth and soft parts immediately con- nected with them for the repair of damage in- flicted by caries and the treatment of diseases resulting from exposure or death of the pulps of teeth. To this is added that group of diseases of the peridental membrane beginning at the gingival border. Since Black ' s epoch we have witnessed a steady limitation in the scope of operative dentistry, a phenomenon indicative of our vast increase in knowledge followed by an inevitable tendency toward specialization. To the general practitioner in most communities, these limitations are largely academic. The dentist designs his restorations for mastica- tory efficiency, compatability with endodontal and peridontal tissues, occlusal harmony and esthetics. Operative procedures occupy an im- portant part of a practice devoted directly to the maintenance of oral health and indirectly with systemic and psychological well being. The interrelation ' existing here is one not to be ignored. In operative dentistry as with all phases of dentistry the mouth must be con- sidered in its entirety and as a functional part of the body as a whole. It is with the evolution of this latter concept that modern dental his- tory is written. It is, in a sense, the gradual maturation of a philosophy and in the process dentistry rises in stature as a profession. 10
