History of Dentistry
October Contour focuses on the impact of history on our current practice of dentistry. The cover story on forensic dentistry, paired with expert insights from a dental anthropologist, as well as a museum showcase of the dental offices of yesterday, will expand your view of dentistry's applications. Our authors also discuss the history of women trailblazers in dentistry, Puerto Rico a year after the hurricanes and a dental student's experience being the patient in a live-patient exam.
