title: Report of the Committee on Scientific Investigation of the American Academy of Restorative Dentistry.
abstract: Dental research continued to grow during 1988. Unfortunately the quality does not always parallel the quantity of publications. This report obviously does not encompass all of the literature but focuses on studies that are related to trends and to matters that are considered controversial. Likewise the particular interests of the members of the American Academy of Restorative Dentistry were taken into consideration. The subjects covered include periodontics, preventive dentistry, bulp biology, craniomandibular disorders, ceramics, color in restorative dentistry, and dental materials.
