  • I’ve written my doctorate thesis on parts of the history of dental medicine. I think it’s amazing how little has actually moved since the 18th century. We’re even reviving methods from the early 20th century that were thought to be bogus, because we’re just finding out they might actually work. Every few years someone invents a “perfect” new material that can’t win against the established materials because it’s too expensive, takes longer to apply or needs too much retraining. Oh and evey mercury amalgams are still widely used, even in developed countries.
