Longing for modern composite materials in the late 1800s
Abstract:
Restoring teeth in the late 1800s required ingenuity and creativity, as the materials available were a far cry from is presently used. Likewise, restorative preparation designs had not yet been promulgated by GV Black.

While some dental professionals had a vision for the ideal restorative materials, they made do with what they had in an attempt to provide quality dentistry.
