Ghosts of Golfodontia.

The author focuses on the evolution of dentistry as seen in the previous issues of the periodical "Dental Economics." He recalls that the 1923 issue offered an article about dentists who exude clearness, force and elegance in handling patients. He notes that the 1965 issue delved into dental insurance in which 15 million Americans are projected to enroll in such insurance by 1970. He adds that the June 2008 issue features a dentist who adopts high technology, non-existent in 1923, in his practice.
