Beschreibung

Print on Demand. This book deconstructs the established principles of dentistry from the angle of prosthetic dentistry. The author, a prominent dental figure, challenges the enduring but flawed theories of tooth form classification. He argues that the conventional wisdom of temperamental tooth forms, which posits that tooth shape corresponds to an individual's physical and temperamental characteristics, is unfounded. Instead, the author introduces a new classification system based on three primary tooth types, which he demonstrates are common to all races and ethnicities. This groundbreaking theory overturns long-held assumptions and opens up new possibilities for dental restoration. By rejecting the outdated notion of racial or temperamental tooth forms, the author provides a more accurate and scientifically sound approach to prosthetic dentistry, empowering dentists to achieve more harmonious and aesthetically pleasing results for their patients. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.

Excerpt from A New Classification of Human Tooth Forms With Special Reference to a New System of Artificial Teeth

However, I am greatly encouraged in my belief that the bad Old customs of practice in dental prosthesis are about to receive a rude shock by my knowledge of the fact that in no country in the world are inferior methods, systems and machines so quickly dis carded or scrapped the moment their inferiority to something new is demonstrated and established, as here in America. American busi ness men found out long ago that it is the truest economy and the surest way to success to throw away an inferior method of produc~ tion, or a method which produces an inferior article, the instant better methods are discovered. That policy has made Americans the great est leaders in the business world. It has sent all the nations of the earth here to learn and copy American methods, and to -day you may find those methods being put into effect in the remotest corners of the world. So strong and vital 1s this influence of American progress that Guglielmo Ferrero, the distinguished Italian historian, says i is the one idea that has taken deep hold of the European masses during the last fifty years. It has certainly created a new outlook and a new spirit in the world. It has made men more self-reliant and given them a greater confidence in their own inherent capacity to subdue the stubborn and apparently antagonistic forces of Nature to human will. It is in that American spirit which says, in the language of the people, The best we can have is none too good, that I have come here to - day to ask you to discard, to throw away, to utter ly destroy and obliterate a system of prosthetic dentistry that has ex isted far too long, and to establish in its place something more in keeping with the reputation for progress and scientific achievement and character that our country enjoys in other fields throughout the world.

Dr. Ebersole, in a stirring and eloquent call, published in the Dental Summary last January, warned you that dentistry was not keeping in the van of American progress. If that is true in any degree of dental practice as a whole, then it is most emphatically true of dental prosthesis. And on that point I believe there are no two Opinions.
