An interview with Dr. Ronald Jackson, DDS, on esthetic inlays and onlays. Interview by Dr. Gary Severance

Dr. Ronald Jackson is a graduate of West Virginia University School of Dentistry. After a general practice residency and service with the Navy in London, England, he began private practice in Middleburg, VA, in 1976. His practice emphasizes comprehensive restorative and cosmetic dentistry. In an effort to identify leaders in the field of restorative and cosmetic dentistry for Signature readers, I asked Dr. Jackson to meet with me to discuss his experience with inlays and onlays as well as his efforts to educate patients about the different types of restorations available to them. Dr. Jackson has published many articles and lectures extensively on esthetic inlays and onlays. He has twice been a featured speaker at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry and is scheduled to present at the 1995 meetings of the American Academy of Esthetic Dentistry and the American Society for Dental Aesthetics. Dr. Jackson is an accredited member of the AACD and holds visiting faculty appointments to the postgraduate programs in esthetic dentistry at the State University of New York at Buffalo and Baylor University Schools of Dentistry. He is on the editorial boards of three dental publications and consults to a number of dental manufacturers in the area of new product development and clinical testing of materials.
