PIERRE FAUCHARD: LIGHT FOR DENTISTRY
Abstract
The most significant contribution to the development of dentistry was made by Pierre Fauchard (1678-1761), whom we rightly consider the "father of modern dentistry". He wrote down his observations, thoughts, and innovations and in 1728 published "Le Chirurgien Dentiste ou Traite des Dentes". It is the first scientific textbook in this field and is considered to be the basis of a new age in dentistry. For the next hundred years, it was a basic textbook in dentistry. He managed to separate dental medicine from surgery, which has since been called odontology and set it on its own feet as an independent profession. As a result of Fauchard’s efforts, dental practice has changed for the better.
