Abstract

'Forty years back and forty years on' was the title of the address given by Francis Manfield at the annual meeting of the RCS of England in December 1970. Francis, twice president of the Middx & Herts Branch, which this year celebrates its first 40 years, started in practice in 1930, so he was well qualified to look back over those 40 years. The aspects of change in dentistry, 1930-1970, make arresting reading more than 20 years later. His predictions for the future are equally interesting.

Let there be light--the laser in dentistry.

A damp and dull London day in March somewhat contradicted the title of the meeting of the Odontology Section of the RSM, Let there be light--the laser in dentistry, but there was no doubt, once inside, that the organisers had, with perfect timing, caught the interest of the profession as a Barnes Room packed to capacity was greeted by the president of the section, Margaret Seward. Rather apologetically, she confessed that the film Goldfinger was unavailable, but promised us equal fascination with a galaxy of international experts to guide us through a maze of new developments in laser dentistry.
