- Description
Catalog of an exhibition Dentistry: innovation and education which "celebrates the 135th anniversary of the establishment of the Odontological Society of Victoria in 1884, which brought about the development of the first dental school in the colony. The organisation consisted
of a group of trained dentists and was modelled on the Odontological Society of Great Britain, established in 1856. The Australian College of Dentistry was established in 1897, and affiliated with the University of Melbourne in a process that formalised dental education and further
legitimised dental practice and research.This exhibition showcases the development of dental practice, education and public health, particularly in Victoria."
