  2. According to the American Dental Association website, dentistry dates back to 5600 BC. The earliest dentist was Hesy-Re, who died in 2600 BC. The Beginnings of Dentistry Hesy-Rehttp://cepheides.over-blog.com/categorie-10480583.html

  3. Dental Surgery • The first recorded dental surgery consisted of two perforations under the first molar to drain an abscessed tooth. This operation took place in Egypt around 2750 BC. • Today, dental surgery could range anywhere from removing wisdom teeth to cutting a person’s mandible if the person has an under bite.

  4. Hippocrates' role in dentistry was that he dedicated 32 paragraphs, in the book Peri-Arthron, to teeth. He also wrote about the technique for replacing a dislocated mandible. Aristotle described the extraction forceps. (http://cudental.creighton.edu/htm/history2001.pdf) Dentists today still use some kind of forceps to extract a tooth.

  6. Albucasis (1013 AD) was considered “the great Exponent of Dental Surgery in the middle ages” (cudental.creighton.edu). His book shows some pictures of dental instruments, such as scalers (used to remove stains and plaque), elevators (used for extractions), and forceps. http://www.malaspina.com/jpg/zahravi.jpg
