Let’s time travel back to dentistry in 1960. I wasn’t even alive then, let alone practicing, but I’m putting my imagination cap on. Think about the technology, the materials, and the workflow. Picture the restorative options available for a broken tooth. Now, let’s jump to the year 1965 and do the same thought experiment. Probably not that much has changed, right? Ditto for 1970 or 1975. Sure, we’ll witness improvements in composite resins and ceramics, but the day-to-day lives of dentists and the services they provided weren’t being turned upside down in five-year spans.
