One of the greatest aids in the art of healing is the X-ray. It has unquestion- Q ably proven itself indispensable. I p I 2 The teeth as factors in focal infection have received considerable attention. E E N 5 That diseased teeth are likely to produce infection elsewhere in the body, is uni- 5 5 E E :I ?AE5 X-RAY DEPARTMENT ggi 5 :Eg versally accepted. The radiogram is the best means at our disposal in detecting 5'-3'-E such diseased teeth. With the increase in popularity of the theory that diseased E E teeth are among the causative factors in the production of disease in remote por- img tions of the bod , came the increased use of X-ra s. As a result, thousands of .3 2-is y y at?- E E X-ray machines are now in the hands of dentists. The manufacturers' great work 5 2 ' in simplifying X-ray machines, has made this condition possible.

Nledical science immediately began using the X-rays in their work both for diagnostic 'ind therapeutic purposes with considerable success. Dentistry how- ever was slow in adopting this valuable '1'd. 'lhe lNew Xork College of Dentistry was among the pioneers in the use of the X-ray for dental purposes. Dr. Francis Ielioy Saterlee founded the depart- ment here Under his uipable guidance the depirtment grew in leaps ind bounds until the quarters became too small for this fast rowing member of the College As near back 'is 1918 the X-rag clinic had 'i room which had absolutely no windows and was quite small Very few students could be accommodated in this small space with any degree of safetv. The orfil surgery clinic was the one clinic that chiefly availed itself of the opportunity to use the Y-ray department Yery few of the cases in the operative clinic were ever sent down to be X-rayed. What '1 difference today. We have '1 large light airy room which can accom- modate '1 considerable number of students The machinery is of the latest type. All departments send their patients to the clinic, and in this way, the students receive the benefit of the radiogram from a diagnostic standpoint. The students are also assigned to the clinic for practical X-ray work. The future for X-ray and for this department through the agency of the X-ray is limitless. The trend of thought today is to use the radiogram in preven- tive dentistry as well as for diagnosis, especially in the detection of hidden caries. There is considerable work to be done with X-rays as a healing agent. Experiments with X-rays are now being performed to help in the cure of pyorrhea and alveolar abscesses. - lllllllllllll 6-is Ill ll ll I I 4.3, 1- lnnulqn 53- 5 .I ' ,Q 2 2 f 5 .5-ig gl? ll 1 3 3 g 2 E S E : E ii Fl? ill? :Ti 3 , 2 4' 3 Ellis w .
