This article discusses key turning points in removable partial denture (RPD) philosophy. Early advancements tended to focus upon improving the technical quality of the prosthesis itself. The beginning of the 20th century brought significant public pressure upon the dental profession due to consequences associated with poor quality fixed prostheses. The result was dramatic improvement and heavy demand for RPDs. Technical and efficiency issues conspired to temper this enthusiasm, eventually resulting in reduced respect for RPDs. By highlighting key writings and technical issues during these periods of change it is hoped the reader will gain a more precise understanding of the current status of RPD philosophy.

It is over 100 years since GV Black gathered together most of the knowledge then current on the caries process and set clear parameters for the discipline of operative dentistry. His four-volume treatise set standards that were relevant for the times and, in fact, were so well described that they remained dominant in this discipline until quite recently. However, over the last 50 years there has been great progress in scientific method and in knowledge of the common diseases of the oral environment, including the caries process, so maybe it is time for change. The term "paradigm" describes a philosophy of science, a generally accepted model of how ideas relate to one another, forming a conceptual framework within which scientific research is carried out. Black defined the paradigm within which further research was to be conducted during the following years and the profession accepted his lead. However, it is not expected that the parameters of a profession should remain unchanged over a substantial period so it is suggested that the dental profession should, at this time, recognize a new paradigm. Improvements in scientific method have led to a better understanding of the oral environment, resulting in extensive changes for this profession. It is suggested that the standards set by Black should be now consigned to history and an entirely new paradigm adopted. First, the profession must recognize that dental caries is a bacterial disease and its primary efforts should be directed towards identification and elimination of the disease prior to initiating repair of the damage that it has caused. Preservation of natural tooth structure is then the next responsibility. There should be maximum use made of preventive strategies, including remineralization, followed by minimal intervention cavity designs and the use of bioactive restorative materials to restore the lesions. The profession should be prepared to move on.

Un párrafo traducido del griego y aislado de los anteriores y siguientes, hizo creer a Darwin que Aristóteles había incurrido en una falta de comprensión en la formación de los dientes de los seres vivos, pero señaló con acierto, al mismo tiempo, que la idea del filósofo sobre la finalidad que rige los cambios materiales era, como precedente de la "selección natural", una noción oscura

HISTORIA DE LA MEDICINA DEL SIGLO 18ABSTRACT
Dentistry was surely practiced in ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, Phoenicia, Etruria, Greece and Rome, but odontology arose only with the dawn of Greek science. One may find the first references to a rational odontology only in the fragments of the Pre-socratic philosophers and in the Corpus Hippocraticum. Aristotle was the first to treat odontology under a comparative anatomo-physiological point of view. Celsus and Scribonius Largus got their matter from Hippocrates, Aristotle, the Hellenistic anatomists as well as from folk-traditions, but payed attention rather to dentistry than to odontology. Finally Galen gathered all the knowledge about odontology and dentistry from Hippocrates up to the Hellenistic anatomists and organized all the matter in his monumental teleologic and theological system, that was inherited by both the so called iatrosophists and the Byzantine physicians.

Being a unique Chinese diagnostic measure, this method focussing its observation on the ventral vessels of the tongue, is first recorded in Neijing, saying that it is indicated when the vessels are varicose by puncturing for bloodletting in malaria, mad, and sadness. Ge Hong and Cao Yuanfan applied it for juandice, also for prognosis. Yimenfang predicts by this method the diagnosis for prognosis of the mother and foetus in difficult delivery, while Chen Zhiming popularized it in his Chan Nan sheng Si Jue. Inherited from the theory of Collateral Vessel Diagnosis, this approach pays attention to the observation of the forms and colors of collateral vessel, claiming that dark green color and congestion have bad diagnosis. Though not well developed, it was applied as extra-acupoints for swelling tongue, sore throat and jaundice. While Zhou Xuehai elaborated Liu Shouzhen's idea and put forward a theory of minute-vessel-stasis which is wonderfully conincided with modern microciroulation theory. In 1964, Zhang Zanchen again advocated its diagnostic value in tumor, hepatopathy and cor pulmonale.
