It is important since it contains the first description of the illness attacking the gums and the alveolus(Vol. I, pp. 275-277), " which will be called after him 'Fauchard's disease'". (En Français dans le texte, 142).

"No other individual in the history of dentistry played a more important role in its development than Fauchard" (Eimas).

"This work is the best one ever written on teeth illness."

Floy, Dictionnaire historique de la Médecine.

Pierre Fauchard, was a dental surgeon, born in Brittany at the end of the 17th century. During 40 years, he successfully worked in Paris as a dental surgeon.

"When published, the work obtained the approval from the most educated anatomists, doctors and surgeons, and still supports his great reputation. The imperfections we find in it testify the progresses of art, and nevertheless the work will be favorably consulted by anyone who longs to be like Fauchard, good dental surgeons.

Before this author, there was no written work that would teach the way to file, carve, fill the teeth; on the art of making artificial ones, of executing simple or double dentures, or to place an obturator on the palate. He imagined 5 different ones he used and which are still successfully used.

Fauchard accurately described the abscess attacking the substance inside the teeth without altering the cortical substance. "

We can consider this surgeon as the creator of the art of dentistry.

"Pierre Fauchard has been called the 'Father of Dentistry'; his comprehensive and scientific account of all that concerned dentistry in the 18th century is one of the greatest books in the history of the subject. The second edition, published in 1746, contains a good description (vol. I, pp. 27f-277) of pyorrhoea alveolaris; it was translated by Dr. Lilian Lindsay and published by the British Dental Association in 1946." (P.M.M., n°186).

Copy preserved in its pleasant contemporary bindings.

Elle est importante car elle contient la première description de la maladie qui attaque les gencives et les alvéoles (Vol. I, pp. 275-277), " que l'on appellera après lui 'maladie de Fauchard' ". (En Français dans le texte, 142).

"No other individual in the history of dentistry played a more important role in its development than Fauchard" (Eimas).

" Cet ouvrage est le meilleur qui ait été écrit sur les maladies des dents ".

Floy, Dictionnaire historique de la Médecine.

Pierre Fauchard, chirurgien-dentiste, naquit en Bretagne vers la fin du XVIIe siècle. Pendant 40 ans, il exerça à Paris, avec beaucoup de succès, la profession de chirurgien-dentiste.

" L'ouvrage obtint, lorsqu'il parut, l'approbation des anatomistes, des médecins et des chirurgiens les plus instruits, et soutient encore aujourd'hui sa grande réputation. Les imperfections qu'on y rencontre attestent les progrès de l'art, et l'ouvrage néanmoins sera consulté avec avantage par tous ceux qui voudront être, comme Fauchard, de bons chirurgiens-dentistes.

Avant cet auteur, il n'existait aucun écrit qui enseignât la manière de limer, tailler, plomber les dents ; sur l'art d'en fabriquer d'artificielles, d'exécuter des dentiers simples ou doubles, et de placer des obturateurs au palais. Il en a imaginé 5 différents, qu'il employait et qui s'emploient encore avec succès.

Fauchard a décrit avec exactitude les abcès qui attaquent la substance intérieure des dents sans en altérer la substance corticale. "

On peut regarder ce chirurgien comme le créateur de l'art du dentiste.

"Pierre Fauchard has been called the " Father of Dentistry "; his comprehensive and scientific account of all that concerned dentistry in the 18th century is one of the greatest books in the history of the subject. The second edition, published in 1746, contains a good description (vol. I, pp. 27f-277) of pyorrhoea alveolaris; it was translated by Dr. Lilian Lindsay and published by the British Dental Association in 1946." (P.M.M., n°186).
