Abstract
A symposium, "Prevention Revisited", was held in September of 1990 in Rochester, New York, as part of the 75th Anniversary celebration of the Eastman Dental Center. The symposium covered a broad range of topics, including risk assessment for oral diseases, the diagnosis and classification of periodontal diseases, caries prevention, fluorides, dental materials, TMJ disorders, and the geriatric patient. Each topic was approached from the perspective of prevention: past accomplishments, present status, and future directions. A format of major presentations, reactor papers, and discussion was used.
