| First German edition of A work on operative dentistry. 1-2 (1st ed., Chicago 1908), translated by Hans Pichler, Rudolf Bum, and Robert Koller. Volume one: Die Pathologie der harten Zahngewebe; volume two: Die Technik des Zahnfüllens. "Black established a system of cavity preparation from which modern techniques have been derived. He constructed a "gnathodynamometer" with which the pressure exerted on the human tooth and therefore on the filling could be measured. Through experimentation he established an ideal metal mixture which was stable and did not discolour. Publication of his results led to standardization of the alloys"(G-M). Black wrote more than five hundred articles and several outstanding books, which became recognized classics in the field. His Dental Anatomy appeared in 1890, and in 1908 his great two-volume Operative Dentistry was issued. |
