Description
Summary:The developments in biomaterials over the past 40 years were listed in a questionnaire. Groups of dentists with and without a Master's degree ranked each development on the basis of the impact they believed it has had on the practice of dentistry. The results of the questionnaires were analysed and the rankings were discussed and used as a guide to the projection of the probable future needs and developments in biomaterials, based on the needs of current and future dental patients.
