Oxyphosphate of zinc was used for years to treat teeth by different approaches and procedures. Like oxychloride of zinc, success of the material depended on how well the procedures were conducted and largely on the mix of the material. This article aims to review the evolutionary history of this material with a view to its clinical uses, properties, procedures, applications, and successes when used in the management of decayed tooth structure and rebuilding of teeth. Perspectives proffered within focus cover 110 years from 1850 to 1960.

Pierre Fauchard, considered the father of dentistry, contributed to the development of different fields of dentistry that we know today. However, the contribution of this important individual to the fields of oral medicine and oral and maxillofacial pathology is unknown. This study aimed to identify Pierre Fauchard's contribution to these areas of dentistry. We focused on "Le Chirurgien Dentiste, or Traité des Dents" in both French and English, looking for information about the oral diseases diagnosed and treated by Fauchard. Information on patient history, disease description, treatment applied, and clinical follow-up was collected. A contemporary analysis of the diseases was performed, and the collected data were systematized, reported, and analyzed descriptively, according to the current literature on the addressed topics. Information on conditions such as scurvy, parulides, epulides, oral ulcers, dentoalveolar abscesses, dental alterations, and post-exodontia incidents were elucidated. Findings indicated that Pierre Fauchard described, diagnosed, and treated different soft and hard tissue diseases of great interest to the fields of oral medicine and oral and maxillofacial pathology.
皮埃尔-福夏尔被誉为 "牙科之父",为我们今天所知的牙科不同领域的发展做出了贡献。然而,这位重要人物对口腔医学和口腔颌面部病理学领域的贡献却不为人知。本研究旨在确定皮埃尔-福夏尔对这些牙科领域的贡献。我们重点研究了法文和英文版的《Le Chirurgien Dentiste, or Traité des Dents》,寻找有关福夏尔诊断和治疗的口腔疾病的信息。我们收集了有关患者病史、疾病描述、治疗方法和临床随访的信息。对疾病进行了当代分析,并根据有关主题的现有文献,对收集到的数据进行了系统化、报告和描述性分析。对坏血病、脓疱疮、口腔溃疡、齿槽脓肿、牙齿病变、外齿畸形后遗症等疾病的相关信息进行了阐释。研究结果表明,皮埃尔-福夏尔描述、诊断和治疗了口腔医学和口腔颌面病理学领域非常感兴趣的各种软组织和硬组织疾病。

The use of trichloroacetic acid in dentistry has been advocated by several authors in the last 50 years due to its action on invasive gingival tissues that are seen in the presence of cervical resorption or proximal cavities. Publications addressing this substance and its applications are completely silent regarding its historical evolution or make general claims regarding its original source without substantiation. This perspective will attempt to provide the missing links to this substance and its contemporary use in dentistry, specifically in Endodontics.

The discovery of two unaccredited photographs purported to be of Painless Parker occasions a discussion of the notorious "outlaw" dentist's historical significance. It is argued that social media threaten to have performance eclipse clinical skills in dentistry - a process that can be sourced to Parker's vaudevillian antics.

The University of Puerto Rico School of Dentistry was established in 1957. Over the years, it has played an important role in Puerto Rico's healthcare system. That legacy is displayed through the walls of the School of Dentistry. In Part 1, the evolution of 20-year-old dental museum-like showcases located in the lobby and the main hallway of the school were described along with important professions who impacted on this development. In this paper, we will describe in detail the items available at the museum.

The modern theory of complete denture retention using suction was applied to wooden plate dentures in Japan from the first half of the 16th century, which is an astonishing achievement since it was clinically applied in North America and Europe in the latter half of the 19th century nearly 300 years later. Wooden dentures are unique to Japan resulting from skilled Japanese craftsmanship and are not found in other countries. We comprehensively reviewed reports on wooden plate dentures, analyzed 145 complete and partial dentures, and discussed their history. Japanese wooden plate dentures are mainly made of box wood, and artificial teeth are made of pagodite, ivory, and natural teeth. Small nails were driven into the molar region. Many existing dentures revealed attrition on the occlusal faces, thereby indicating that the wearers were able to masticate sufficiently. Wooden plate dentures have been used for 400 years in the early 20th century. Although Japanese wooden dentures have not been mentioned in the history of dentistry in Western literature, they comprise an important part of the history of denture development.

The impact of ground-breaking research on the dental pulp and its response to dental procedures, materials and associated diseases significantly influenced the evolution and scope of Endodontics, creating a science of Endodontology. While there were scattered studies in the early 20th century in this regard, the clarification and codification of these concepts took a major leap forward in the late 1950s due to the academic prowess and in-depth research endeavors of Dr. Kaare Langeland. The story begins during World War I in Norway.

A full account of early research that led to the discovery of the Alpha-diketone and Amine systems by two Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI) researchers. UK Chemists in the mid-sixties marked the beginning in the early development of a composite resin cured with visible light spectrum into a solid mass. Its incorporation into the newly developed Urethane based resin, led to conceiving the idea of developing the first light-activated restorative composite resin, which formed the prototype of modern composite restorative materials. How all that came about, and the ideas that were conceived and pursued in the development of these systems are discussed in detail.
