In the early 1900s, various authors worked on "artificial roots" to replace missing teeth. E. J. Greenfield's pioneering works (1910-1913) are among the best-known today and are often cited in publications reviewing the history of oral implantology. Shortly after Greenfield's first communications in the scientific literature, a French dental surgeon, Henri Léger-Dorez, designed the first expanding dental implant, which he indicated was used successfully in cases of single tooth edentulism. Its aim was to obtain the best primary stability and thus avoid the use of dental splint during osseous healing process. Léger-Dorez's works give us a new angle on the research in oral implantology by the pioneers of the early 20th century.

Orthodontics in Brazil underwent significant transformations in the 1950s when several dentists returned to the country after completing advanced education courses in the specialty abroad. The first two orthodontic associations, in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, were constituted in 1955 and 1959. The specialty's first event with characteristics of a professional meeting occurred in São Paulo in 1957, and Postgraduate Orthodontic education became available. This paper aims to describe the central insights of the constitution and evolving of the education of Orthodontics in Brazil.

John Greenwood (1760-1819) was George Washington's preferred dentist. He practiced in New York and made at least one of eight sets of dentures Washington wore (currently in the collection of the New York Academy of Medicine (NYAM). We know very little about John Greenwood's (JG) formal education, except that he came from a famous family of dentists. He inherited from his father, Isaac Greenwood, one important book of the time, John Hunter's 1778 treatise, A Natural History of the Human Teeth. That copy was donated to the New York Academy of Medicine by descendants of John Greenwood. Recently, we became aware of extensive marginalia that John Greenwood wrote in this book. The present article describes John Greenwood's opinion on a variety of dental subjects such as the causes and mechanisms of tooth destruction and gum disease and the presence of microscopic annamalcula that were thought to be connected to poor oral hygiene. Although John Greenwood was self-educated, his observations are surprisingly insightful and at least 37 years ahead of what was described in the contemporary literature.

If one could attend the same College of Dentistry repeatedly, every twenty years, starting in 1880, the evolution and comparison of student life would be historically meaningful. Such a time travel, as a perpetual dental student through 140 years, is the purpose of this paper. To illustrate this unique perspective, New York College of Dentistry, was chosen. This large East-Coast private school has been in existence since 1865, and reflects the typical dental educational environment at that time. The changes that occurred over 140 years, however, may or may not be typical of most private dental schools in the United States due to a multiplicity of factors. Likewise, the life of a dental student has changed over the past 140 years, as dental education, oral care, and dental practice have significantly evolved.

A hot bed of organized dental leadership and visionary thinking in the mid-to-late 1800s came from Ohio, as many presidents of the American Dental Association were from that state. They were quite influential in leading this organization into the 20th century. One of the most dynamic and well-rounded individuals was Dr. George Watt…this paper will highlight his life as viewed by one of his peers.

In Part I of ODOL MUNDVASSER and ZAHNPASTA: Part I-von Stuck, PUCCINI, and up in the AIR¹ we described how in 1892, Dresden's Karl August Lingner (1861-1916), produced and marketed Professor Bruno Richard Seifert's (1861-1919) invention of Odol Mouthrinse, and subsequently Odol Toothpaste. The focus of Part I was how Lingner's Company used "aeronauticak" postcard advertising, ie., dirigibles and airplanes of the times, to advertise their products. A concise summary of the history of Lingner-Werke A.G., Berlin, and what happened to Odol after Lingner's death in 1916, was succinctly reported by Patrick van der Vegt on this website. https://www.atlas-repropaperwork.com/odol-toothpaste/.

For years in dental school settings, the teaching of dental history was extolled and emphasized as to the roots of the dental profession. Many colleagues can probably cite the names of those who contributed to this achievement within their academic environments. Most of these academicians were also clinicians who valued the role of history in the progression of dentistry as a respected profession. One such individual was Dr. Edward F. Leone who passionately imbued the historical values of our profession into each student. This article is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Leone and tribute to his legacy that he provided to hundreds of dental professionals for almost 50 years at the Marquette University School of Dentistry.

Dental literature is rich in its historical evolution, which is extoled by key figures in the late 1800 and early 1900s. This paper will briefly highlight two of these individuals, both based in Philadelphia who had similar names, spelled differently, and who impacted greatly on this historical documentation.

The Royal Dental Hospital and School were founded in 1858/59 as the UK's first dental school. Despite being a leading school, because of government strictures it closed its doors in 1985. The building was taken over by a hotel. Not to be forgotten, however, a group of alumni ensured its memory by obtaining a Green Plaque to be placed on its walls.

Reflections on the formation of a newly formed dental society in the historic seat of dental academia and research are highlighted, from an all-encompassing perspective.
