requires full dentures. Modern techniques in this field permit the fabrication of natural-looking dentures with a great de- gree of masticating efficiency. Sometimes, one of the Iront false teeth in an artificial denture is intentionally stained, or a gold filling may be placed in it, so as to resemble one of the patient's natural teeth, and thereby retain the natural appearance of the artificial denture. The prosthodontist and his team of dental prosthetic technicians are specialists in the art of replacing missing teeth. Many new and specialized techniques in modern dentistry have dictated the need for post graduate study, further train- ing and experience-so that today the Mall around dentist is becoming as rare as is the all around surgeonf' Dentistry has been required to provide specialists such as oral surgeons, prosthodontists, endodontists, periodontists, and orthodontists -to treat particular dental problems that frequently require more than the usual knowledge of dentistry. All such spe- cialists fexcept orthodontistsl are available within the Naval Service-and more specifically, within this hospital. Every year, two dental interns and one oral surgery resi- dent receive training within the Dental Service of this com- mand. The interns are recent graduates of dental schools and have been licensed to practice dentistry in one or more of the States of this country. They receive this intern training so as to better prepare themselves to provide the best pos- sible dental services for members of the Armed Forces. The oral surgery resident is an experienced dentist undergoing extensive training for ultimate specialization and certifica- tion by the American Board of Oral Surgery. It is generally agreed that the best dentistry in the world is practiced in the United States, and the U. S. Naval Dental Service is highly respected by civilian, component societies of the American Dental Association. Every effort is exerted toward providing the best possible dental care for members of the Armed Forces-and the soldier, sailor, marine and airman can get this service from the combined efforts of dental officers and their dental technicians stationed with our troops throughout the world.
