Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Whether medicine is a science remains a philosophical question. Yet undeniably advances in science have revolutionarily influenced almost every aspect of medicine including dentistry. It is now exactly one hundred years from Edward H. Angle introduced fixed orthodontic appliances in the early 1900s and established orthodontics as the first dental specialty. Orthodontics has come a long way during its first century. Looking forward to all the challenges and opportunities, it is now time to reflect what science has given to our profession, what for gap still exists between the science and practice in orthodontics, and how we can make science more available to our practice in future.
