Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dentistry, during the pioneer days of the profession in the United States, had no military status; and there exist only a few unofficial references to dental treatment in the accounts of the first wars in which the country was engaged. A notable exception, however, was the dental treatment accomplished for General George Washington, who experienced dental difficulties during the time he served as Commander in Chief of the Colonial Army and later during his terms as President. Records reveal that Washington had several dentures made by civilian dentists and that he was very much pleased with his dental service. Almost one hundred years passed after the Revolutionary War before there was any official Army recognition of dentistry or legislative action to initiate the organization of an Army Dental Corps. During these hundred years the profession continued to develop and to broaden its scope. The first organized effort to secure dentists for an army was the conscription of these to serve in the Confederate Army in 1864.2 The soldiers of the Confederate armies could not pay for dental freatment in the depreciated currency of the Confederacy since the fee for one gold filling was more than 6 months' pay of a private. Consequently, the Confederate States Congress passed a law for the conscription of dentists who were to have the rank, pay, and allowances to which their position in the Army entitled them, and in addition extra duty pay for extraordinary skill as allowed by The Surgeon General. The rank and pay offered the Confederate dental officers is not recorded. pg 8. JMD.

This book was released on 2010-11-01 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even in the relatively specialized field of the history of military medicine, dentistry has received less than its fair share of attention, especially given the debilitating effects of dental problems and the unique logistical problems of dealing with them in the field. The "United States Army Dental Service in World War II" contains a wealth of valuable information on the founding of the Army Dental Corps, its experiences in World War I, and the administrative and morale issues that plagued the Corps during and after its ramp-up during World War II. Most of the book provides a detailed picture of the immense logistical difficulties inherent in delivering quality dentistry to soldiers in training, stationed in remote areas of the world, and in combat zones. The problem was made more acute by the expanded demand for metallic alloys and other materials as part of the war effort. Wartime conditions also stimulated the Corps to develop innovative approaches to its work. The use of more light-weight dental operating chests; the development of an electric dental engine and operating light; and truck-borne dental laboratories, clinics, and operating spaces are just a few of the developments stemming from the World War II experiences of the Corps. Army dentists also made major contributions to their medical colleagues through suggestions for the use of dental materials in developing acrylic resin artificial eyes and hearing aid adapters, and dental impressions techniques in the fabrication of tantalum plates for the repair of skull defects. The "United States Army Dental Service in World War II" will be of interest to medical historians, students of military logistics and administration, military dental personnel, and anyone interested in viewing Army activities in war from a unique perspective.

This book was released on 2020-06-15 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Dentists at War—12 Who Went Beyond the Call of Duty, author Norman Wahl has attempted to show how the dentist, so often envisioned by the public as the staid, methodical “tooth carpenter,” is capable of heroic deeds when called upon to do so, especially during wartime. Herein, Wahl presents 12 ordinarily peace-loving men whose lives were transformed by the circumstances in which they found themselves. Ever since dental officers became an integral part of the military (occurring in 1911 in the US Army), thousands of men and women of all nations have served both their profession and their country, under usually trying circumstances, diligently, and some heroically. Some lost their lives. Some were captured by the enemy and became prisoners of war (POWs), enduring beatings, starvation, and humiliation—and sometimes torture. Others volunteered for dangerous missions behind enemy lines. Dr Wahl has divided his account into more or less three sections: (1) history of military dentistry (Chapters I through IV), (2) prisoners of war through the ages (Chapters V through VII), and (3) the 12 selectees—their exploits (Chapters VIII through XII). Within these chapters you will meet an orthodontist who performed ferrying and guerrilla activities behind enemy lines, a Scottish POW who spied for M19, and an American captain who, manning a machine gun, killed 98 Japanese attackers on Saigon before succumbing to 76 bullet wounds as well as bayonet stabs, and nine others—all dentists.
