EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of historical anatomical artwork, highlighting the intricate details of dental anatomy. The image captures both healthy and diseased human teeth and jaws from various perspectives, providing a comprehensive view of this vital aspect of our bodies. At the upper right corner, we are presented with an adults' upper jaw seen from below, while at the lower right corner, an adults' lower jaw is depicted from above. In the center left section, we can observe an adult's dissected jaws revealing the roots of the teeth. Lastly, in the lower left portion, two views of a child's jaws display both milk teeth and budding adult teeth. The artwork itself predominantly focuses on diseased or deformed individual teeth. Notably, at the upper center lies a depiction of molars with fused or divergent roots—a fascinating representation that highlights dental conditions prevalent during that era. Originally published in France between 1831 to 1854 as part of Jean Baptiste Marc Bourgery and Nicolas Henri Jacob's Atlas of Anatomy—an eight-volume masterpiece—this illustration offers valuable insights into dentistry's historical development. With its blend of artistry and scientific accuracy, this print serves as a testament to how our understanding and treatment methods for dental diseases have evolved over time. It stands as a visual reminder not only of our oral health but also our continuous pursuit to unravel the mysteries hidden within our own bodies.
