The period of 175 years from 1800 to 1975 represents one of significant advancement in prosthetic and restorative dental service. The transition from the time of ill-fitting dentures, fashioned from naturally occurring materials, to the application of synthetic resins for a long list of dental and surgical purposes described in this symposium represents a typical example of technical and professional advancement that has taken place throughout the world society during this same period. As noted in the beginning of this report, the advancement in dentistry has been possible through the cooperative efforts of contemporary scientists in many related fields. If denistry retains this good working relationship, as it is expected to do, then the advancements within the next two generations can significantly change and improve the practice of dentistry from what is presently known, by the application of additional new and modified dental resins.
从1800年到1975年的175年期间是口腔修复服务取得重大进步的时期之一。从用天然材料制作的不合身假牙时代，过渡到在本次研讨会上所描述的用于众多牙科和外科目的的合成树脂的应用，这代表了同一时期在全球社会发生的技术和专业进步的一个典型例子。正如本报告开头所指出的，牙科的进步是通过许多相关领域的当代科学家的合作努力实现的。如果牙科能像预期的那样保持这种良好的合作关系，那么通过应用更多新的和改良的牙科树脂，未来两代人的进步能够显著改变和改善目前已知的牙科实践。
