Someone I admire in my field

Someone I admire in my field 

Hi! Today i'm going to talk about one person who i admire. He is the Dr Greene Vardiman Black. He was born near Winchester on 1836 and is known as one of the founders of modern dentistry in the United States. He studied dentistry for 20 months!! (as was common at the time, today we have to study 6 years minimum) followed by an apprenticeship. 
He is known as the father of operative dentistry. His works more important was a research about ideal cavity preparation. 




With his investigations he organized 'Black's Classification of Caries Lesions', a classification based on the tooth type and the cavity location or tooth surfaces involve, which is still in use today (we use in our university!!). Since that time, only one more category has been added to his classification system.

Personally, i think than Dr Greene opened us a huge world of dentistry knowledge. Also, he  gave us tools to have a mundial organization about caries lesions. For example, with his Classification today we can do studies in different parts of the world about caries lesions and all this studies can be understood by anyone. 

We dont have to forget this importants persons, because thanks to them, today, practice the dentistry is a little easier and more complete than old times.
