WHAT'S NEW
at the Dentist's Office
Dramatic advances in the
past 10 years are enabling
him to give better care
to more people less painfully.

mothers - in - law, dentists
have long been a target for
heavy-handed humor. 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
