During the course of this year, 1990, dentistry will celebrate its
sesquicentennial as a profession. In February 1840, the Baltimore
College of Dental Surgery, the Dental School of the University of
Maryland, was chartered by the Maryland General Assembly as the
world's first dental school. In the same year the American Society
of Dental Surgeons, the antecedent of the present day American
Dental Association, was founded, also in Baltimore. In the previous
year, 1839, the American Journal of Dental Science was initiated as
the first periodic scientific and professional publication in
dentistry, later evolving to the Journal of the American Dental
Association. With the congruence of three fundamental elements
which are essential to any profession--a unique program of
education, a formal means to communicate and freely share new
information, and an organization devoted to maintenance of
professional ethics and standards through
self-regulation--dentistry began evolving to its current status as
a valued and respected health profession. From its birth and
through the intervening century and a half, dentistry has been a
profession heavily reliant on technology as well as science.
Dentists variously are credited with the discovery and development
of general anesthesia and the precision casting technique; and they
make significant use of rotary cutting instruments, ultrasonics,
laser technology, unique biomaterials, and intraosseous implants,
to mention only a few techniques.
