Shorter visits also enable the dentist to serve more people. This is especially important today, when our population growth is running far ahead of the number of dental graduates. . In 1952, the National Bureau of Standards" developed a . water-driven turbine hand piece that operated at 45,000 rpm, compared with 2,500 to 6,000 rpm for the old tool. This work was continued, with somewhat different approaches, by a number of agencies, as well as by private dentists, until Dr. Roderick A. McEwen of Atlanta was able to describe the latest device to the American Dental Association's 1956 meeting as one used "like a paint brush with a feather touch." "Often the patient cannot locate the site of the treatment," Dr. McEwen said, and he added that the absence of nerve inflam mation after preparing cavities was reason enough to accept the new instrument. In addition to greater speed, efficiency has been further enhanced by carbide and diamond tips instead of the old steel burrs, and a water-air spray for cooling . and cleaning the tooth surface enables the dentist to work without interruption. An inventor-dentist, Dr. Robert B. . Black, developed the remarkable airbrasive machine, which prepares cavities with an abrasive stream shot from a tiny nozzle at terrific speed. Though this machine has been accepted by many dentists, Dr. Black reported in a ten-year summary in 1954 that it was often not suitable for teeth with large decayed areas and restorations. Other dentists have found the equipment is bulky in small offices. A device that gives a feeling of "magic" to dental work is the ultrasonic instrument adapted from an industrial drill in 1954. It operates by vibrations too rapid and high pitched to hear. The vibrations act on an abrasive to cut tooth structure. Here, it appears, is something that might lead to "painless" dentistry, the answer to the dreams of both patient and dentist. Dr. Carl R. Oman of Columbia University reported that the instrument produced practically no vibration and patients felt no discomfort. Dr. Oman said it cut enamel smoothly, but it was ineffective on decayed dentin. Nevertheless, it could be used for 80 percent of the work on cavities. But two studies since 1954 seem to indicate that the ultrasonic instrument hasn't fulfilled its early promise. The results are far from conclusive, and doctors feel there is still much to be learned about ultrasonic equipment. As Capt. Arne G. Nielsen of the U. S. Navy Dental School said, "The attempt to determine the com plete safety of the ultrasonic process in continued studies appears justified." And in his Illinois report, Dr. Jones concluded that "ultrasonics may be something that dentistry will use in the future." So you see, your dentist would like nothing better than to throw away that "drill" that's been the butt of so many jokes. And thanks to dental research, may be he'll be able to some day.
