And they don't exactly appreciate it be cause it reflects on their not-insignificant contributions to the public's health and happiness. Dr. Meigs Jones of Kansas City, Mo., for example, deplores the use of the term "drill." In discussing new methods of dental care at an Illinois State Dental Society meeting, he said, "It is one word to get out of the dictionary with respect to teeth. You drill for oil.. But as far as dentistry is concerned, you prepare teeth to receive restoration." Though Webster's doesn't refer to teeth in connection with drills and drill ing, Dr. Jones is nonetheless right. And what he has to say about new methods in dentistry is even more important. " From time to time, news stories announce the beginning of a new era of "painless" dentistry, in which marvelous gadgets will make it so pleasant we'll never again squirm in a dentist's chair nor miss a dental appointment. Like the clumsy jokes, or the exaggerated hopes that followed discovery of the miracle drugs, these articles aren't altogether true. There's no perfect method of preparing cavities for filling. Doctors agree that discomfort never can be eliminated entirely, because some of us have nerve spots that will always be sensitive to the slightest touch. The encouraging note in Dr. Jones' report is that developments of the last ten years in dental care are among the most dramatic in medical history. Pointing to the enthusiastic and widespread interest in these innovations, Dr. Ame F. Romnes of Northwestern University says, "The removal of tooth structure can now be accomplished with a lighter touch and in less time. With the new designs in handpieces, there is less vibration and consequently the patient feels less discomfort." These improvements have been made possible through work and study carried on by dental colleges, clinics and laboratories, equipment manufac turers, government agencies, and practicing dentists. Most of the advances 'in the last decade have been in speeding up the traditional rotary instrument, and it is this phase of development that holds . the greatest promise. More discussed, perhaps because they are radical de partures, have been the airbrasive machine and an ultrasonic device tested at Columbia University's School of Dental and Oral Surgery. Dentists emphasize that speed of instruments isn't so important in itself, but it enables work to be done more efficiently in a fraction of the time. There 14 Family Weekly, April 6, 1951
