Proceedings of the North Carolina Dental Society (Classic Reprint): Forty-Sixth Annual Session, Held at Wrightsville Beach, N. C., June 23, 24, 25, 1920, and Revised Constitution and by-Laws
Description:Excerpt from Proceedings of the North Carolina Dental Society: Forty-Sixth Annual Session, Held at Wrightsville Beach, N. C., June 23, 24, 25, 1920, and Revised Constitution and by-Laws In these changing times it is of paramount importance that men should keep cool heads and strive to get a true perspective. We must not take for granted that, somehow or other, this matter of progress will take care Of itself. N 0. All human achievement is a result of mental activity. Holding fast to what we believe is right and good, let us be patient in controversy, our minds attuned to catch the truth as it emanates from the minds Of others. Let us lay aside all stubbornness in upholding our own pet ideas and theories. We may be absolutely right, yet a dogmatic attitude will not help to establish the fact. All our ideas, when subjected to the cold light Of scientific research and to the test of time and practical application, will be either upheld or discarded. At present we are giving much time and thought to such subjects as Plate Prosthesis, Removable Bridgework versus Fixed Bridge work, Oral Hygiene and Dental Prophylaxis or Preventive Dentistry, and diseases Of the investing tissues of the teeth. This list would be incomplete did I not include the subject of Focal Infection, espe cially in the apical areas. Here we behold a mighty struggle be tween two contending points of view: the conservative and the radical. The advocate Of the one has great respect and even sym pathy for the pulpless tooth, called dead by some. He treats it gently, affectionately. The champion Of the other throws a fit every time he sees a dead tooth in the mouth. He would receive no greater shock to stumble upon a human corpse in the forest. He takes no chances. He is a one-hundred-per-cent vitality man. This subject is in rather violent labor at present. The truth will emerge, to be sure, but it may require the prolonged services of the most skillful Obstetrician. We see two sets of workmen, as it were, digging from Opposite directions, and in due time, let us be assured, they will meet, when, 10! The mountain which blocked the train of progress will have been tunneled. Please pardon this somewhat lengthy preface to the subject of my paper, Some Fundamentals of Cavity Preparation. I express these thoughts by way of emphasizing the importance of the subject I have chosen. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
