MALLO-PEREZ, Luciano  e  SANZ-SERRULLA, Javier. Progress in the dental art and science: From talent to technology. RCOE [online]. 2004, vol.9, n.6, pp.667-681. ISSN 1138-123X.

The evolution of the dental art and science has been spectacular in the past last half century. The authors of this article analysed this evolution, trying to discriminate how much of the evolution was due to basic scientific knowledge and how much corresponded to technic development. So, the authors studied separately each odontologic speciality from an objective and historical point of view, and concluded that most of the progress in dental disciplines was due to technological improvement, while conceptual bases had been modified very little.

Palavras-chave : Dentistry; Historic evolution; Scientific evolution; Technologic development.
