title: The process and results of revolution in dental caries treatment.
abstract: The traditional system devised by G.V. Black for dental caries treatment has been fundamentally changed by the development of new knowledge about dental caries pathology and chemically adhesive resin composite. The scientific background is first discussed, together with the process of the development of new materials, following which the essence of the latest clinical techniques are described and illustrated. The system of minimal tissue reduction is extremely simple and painless, not requiring anaesthesia and is able to secure maximal longevity of restored teeth. The author describes his personal record in the development of acid etched dentine and composite restoration systems.
