Prof, of Dentistry Chairman, Comm. on Admissions Dental History Like the wise old man beckoning his grand- children to come sit upon his knee to hear the blustering deeds and heroics of the past — dental history beckons to all of us, the neo- phytes of an ancient profession. It is the vehicle which takes us back in tim e, back into the dentistry of years ago — as far back as we care to go. Though it may be argued that one doesn ' t go forward in dentistry by going backward, remember also, that the man who doesn ' t know where he ' s been cannot know where he ' s going! H. F.

Obviously the best place to begin is in early life. The prac- tice of dentistry for children has become the dentist ' s greatest single responsibility. Prema- ture loss of deciduous teeth with resultant malformation of the permanent teeth and arch was formerly a common occurrence. The teach- ing of dentistry for children has become a sep- arate part of the curriculum in an increasing number of dental schools. The advent of fluo- ride prophylaxis and other measures give us hope that the dental caries problem is decreas- ing in the young. However, still before us is the necessity for great vigilance to protect the oral structures of the young patient. 1 1 1 f 1 1 1 if 1 1 1 1 1 1 i . ! Arthur C. Totten, D.D.S.

Axel Hanson in Dental Technic Early skulls bear mute evidence of the fact that a need for orthodontia has existed ap- parently since the dawn of man. The ancient Roman Celsus was the first to record any practical therapy. Essentially his observa- tions were on that mechanical phase involving gentle pressure to produce the movement of teeth. To this day this basic concept remains and to a large extent guides the design of orthodontic appliances. Today, however, this mechanical phase is only one aspect of a larger picture involving most of the basic biologic sciences. Each patient is treated as an organic unit — and with each an attempt is made to achieve the best result compatible with his individual norm. 17
