Book excerpt: Excerpt from A New Classification of Human Tooth Forms With Special Reference to a New System of Artificial Teeth "It is only what happens that matters." Three years ago I presented before this Society the outline of a scheme for a system of artificial teeth, and a plea for a new order of things in dental prosthesis. I had but little material evidence to lay before yon in support of the contentions advanced, for that was impossible. But I had something in the nature of a vision, in which I saw an important branch of our professional service redeemed from the low and almost contemptible position it has long remained in. Something of that vision I must have been able to get before you, for the substance of it met with your unqualified approval and you passed a strongly worded resolution giving official expression to that approval and asking the manufacturers to take up the work I had outlined and proceed with it along the lines I had formulated. Such an undertaking, at that time, must have seemed hazardous to the manufacturer. It called for a very heavy initial outlay. There was nothing in the work that could be patented and no way in which the pioneer in the new field could be protected from the unfair competition which imitation, without initial outlay, would make possible. But in spite of these unfavorable conditions we were fortunate enough to find a manufacturing company with sufficient faith, courage and enterprise to take up and carry out the work in a liberal spirit; and to-day I come before you again to announce the early completion of our long labors. The whole scheme which I laid before you is not completed in its entirety, but there is, we believe, quite sufficient evidence to offer of so great an advance in this field as to make the old order forever intolerable, and thus to place upon you the obligation to so encourage the manufacturer that he will carry all phases of the work through to its final consummation.
