A 1920 Artist's Concept of Aseptic Dentistry in the Year 2000.


The Cartoonist probably assumed that he was exaggerating when he drew this imaginative prophesy of things to come in Dentistry by the year 2000.

Scientific, medical and dental technology have advanced rapidly the past years. We have been able to place patients in a completely aseptic environment. They are surrounded by protective aseptic cover with built in arm and hand intrusions to permit the operator to place his hands inside of them for any procedures necessary without actually penetrating the aseptic environment.

We know that the mouth and the intestinal tract are inhabited by a flora of Bacteria. To eliminate all of them is an almost impossible task.
