title: Fifty glorious years.
abstract: Since the second world war, dentistry has undergone momentous changes, not only in clinical and mechanical developments but also in changes in people's perceptions of what care their dentist can offer them. Dental graduates today will be surprised at the great difference between their own education and that of their 1946 counterparts. This is one dentist's record of the last 50 years in dentistry and how certain advancements have affected his working life.
