Israel-produced dentists at the
Hebrew University and to speak
on "holy ground"; and third,
there is the chance to speak
on implant dentistry, a field in
which he has done, and con-
tinues to do, a great amount of
research.
In his talk on "The Histo-
pathology of Implantodontics,"
Dr. Herschfus will be able to
point to common ground be-
tween his specialty and the
Jewish state. Each is now enter-
ing its second decade.
To simplify matters, implanto-
dontics is concerned with pro-
ducing a lower dental plate for
patients who have difficulty
wearing one. Or, as Dr. Her-
schfus says, "For those people'
who carry their plates around
in their pockets or keep them
in a glass of water."
"About eight of 10 patients
have no difficulty wearing a
lower plate," he explained.
"Implants are for the few whose
mouths cannot tolerate the
lower denture."
Dr. Herschfus entered the
field just after its introduction
in 1949. As chief of the depart-
ment of dental surgery at Mt.
Carmel Hospital here, he ex-
perimented for five years on
dogs, discovering how to make
the implant fit properly and
learning about any ill effects it

might have on the wearer.
