Early in the 1900s, a Philadelphia Horse Dentist apparently had a jolly sense of humor. A business card with a fun reverse is evidence of that. In 1876 Peter J. Haley, Sr. founded a veterinary horse parlor business in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and his sons Peter Jr. Haley and James Raymond Haley carried their father's work forward, after his death.

Angela Pack trained in London but spent most of her working life in New Zealand. She was surprised to find dentistry was mostly a male profession and there were no dental hygienists. She campaigned to change both those situations. Angela was an outstanding teacher and researcher but at the same time she found time for hobbies, especially Choral singing.

At first glance women might seem to have played little part in the British Dental Association's affairs. For example, none have been secretaries of the Association; and only one has been editor of its journal. That is a wrong surmise, as many females have contributed significantly with their talents on local and national committees. Further, this paper shows there have been some outstanding female Presidents.

From 1902-1910, the Dental Era was published in St. Louis, MO on a monthly basis. It was the publication of the John T. Noble Dental Manufacturing Company. The Editors were John Kennerly and Hermann Prinz. This publication became part of the St. Louis Media Corporation that was established in 2010. Its focus was multifold in that it offered dentists clinical techniques, tricks of the trade, original short communications, business advice, details on newly approved patents for dentistry, society updates, and in particular translations of publications from primarily European sources. One of the more challenging aspects of dentistry at the end of the 19^th century was the potential revision of previous restorative/endodontic procedures, such as removal of pins/posts/ dowels from the root without perforation.

Brian O'Riordan was an Irish dentist who made his name in maxillofacial radiology after further training in England, where he then lived and practiced. He was very involved in efforts to raise the status of that branch of the profession, including development of a Diploma in Dental Radiology establishment of the European Academy of Dentomaxillofacial Radiology. Outside of dentistry, at various times he was a ballet dancer and collected horse brasses.

As we often see today, various jokes or satires are directed at the dental profession, including even the patients who may not be fully apprised of the dental work being performed. This was true well over 150 yrs ago, and comedians even then used the profession to exercise their humorous talents. For example, as read in the Dental Quarterly of 1862…communication and full disclosure is of the essence in the provision of any patient services.

Were they charlatans, mountebanks, or professional surgeons respectively dentists? Can Johannes Andreas Eisenbarth (1663-1727), Jean "Le Grand" Thomas (c. 1680-1757), and Martin Van Butchell (1735-1814) be accurately described within the context of their time rather than judged by today's standards?

Since 1794, many articles have been published that detail and describe the dental anomaly known as dens invaginatus or dens in dente. In describing this anatomical irregularity, current students and authors frequently choose to reference a classification that was proposed in 1957 by an Oral Surgeon, F.A.C. "Jock" Oehlers. This investigation will firstly address some poignant history behind this anatomical anomaly and secondly focus on Dr. Oehlers, his life and his contributions to dentistry from distant perspectives - Singapore and Australia.

In the Xinglongwa site in Aohan Banner, Inner Mongolia, it is estimated that its culture dates to approximately 6000-5000 BCE. However, after extensive archeological pursuits over a 4-year period in that area, a human skull unearthed at the Xinglongwa culture site, evidencing dental treatment was found dating back to 8,000 years, which may represent the earliest known evidence of dental treatment in the world.

For over 150 years, trade cards have been cherished as collector's items, with Victorian-era dental trade cards being particularly prized for their historical and artistic significance. Among the most notable collectors of these artifacts is Dr. Ted Croll, a distinguished pediatric dentist who has dedicated a half a century to curating an extensive collection. In 2024, he generously donated his entire assemblage to the NYU College of Dentistry, ensuring its preservation for future scholarship. This paper examined the distinctive nature of Croll's Collection, its systematic organization, and its enduring value in advancing historical research and understanding within the field of the history of dentistry.
