The person that I admire

Hello friends, in this new blogg I am to going to speak about one person  that I admire, this decision was very difficult because I dont know many famous people in the area of odontology. To do this blogg I remembered the class of amalgam in the subject of "simulacion para el ejercicio profesional" where the teacher spoke about the importance of  Black in the form of perform one amalgam restoration.

Greene Vardiman Black is known as one of the founders of modern dentistry in the United States. He was born near Winchester, Illinois on August 3, 1836. He is also known as the father of operative dentistry. He researched many important topics to dentistry, including the cause of dental fluorosis and ideal cavity preparations.These cavity preparations used principles of engineering and material sciences to maximize strength and retention of the amalgam filling and minimize fractures as well as tooth anatomy, to minimize pulp exposure. The phrase "extension for prevention" is still famous in the dental community, however, ideas have changed and focus much more on minimal intervention today. One of his many inventions was a foot-driven dental drill. Black published his ideas in his text Manual of Operative Dentistry and also organized Black's Classification of Caries Lesions.

I like Black because he is the person who began with the odontology and motivated me to investigate in this science. Also, he created many texts and instruments that today we use and guide us with odontology's operations.
