Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The design and fabrication of oral appliances to replace parts of the palate missing due to congenital defects or lost through tumours, infection or trauma has been a considerable challenge for clinicians throughout the history of dentistry. Significant advances were made during the eighteenth century towards resolving the problem of constructing satisfactory obturators by the first 'surgeon-dentist', Pierre Fauchard. This paper reviews his innovative designs. |
