Abstract

We should like to introduce the aesthetic side of the tools of dentistry. The technical revolution had produced new inventions which made possible the mechanisation of manual activities in the dentistry and helped the autoimmunization of the factoring of the dental equipments. These instruments - from one aspect - are very practical for the everyday work of the dentist - but in the other aspect - their forms mirrored the aesthetical norms and forms of theirs ages, mirrored the material using of their times. The aesthetical factor - as we called: beauty - of the dentistry is not a tangential part of the history of medicine, but one of the most important factor of the social integration of the activity.
