  • Make a Difference! International College of Dentists About the Cover Illustration
    KEY2007 U S A S ECTION J O U RN A L OF E VENT S BE A LEADER — MAKE A DIFFERENCE! INTERNATIONAL COLLEGE OF DENTISTS About the Cover Illustration The False Teeth Workshop The False Teeth Workshop, c.1880 (oil on canvas) by C. Durif-Bedel (fl.c.1880) ©Musee Dentaire, Lyon, France / Archives Charmet / Bridgeman Art Library. Nationality / copyright status: French / out of copyright This wonderful portrayal of an early twentieth century dental laboratory was done in oil by Mme. C. Durif-Bedel who was born in 1880. What is striking is with how much of the painting one feels familiar: the plaster models on the shelf at the window; the various dental pliers hung in a line at the end of the table; the single hinge articulator; and the various polishing wheels and dentures laying about the table. It is more the furnishings and formal dress of the lab technicians that tell us this scene is from another era. Notice also the use of day light and how it emphasizes the lab table and the other technician. The False Teeth Workshop reminds us that the dental profession is indebted not only to dental technicians but to the many other auxiliaries whose talent, artistry and hard work have long been an integral part of patient care. The original of this painting is in the Dental Museum at the dental school of the University Claude Bernard in Lyons, France. The museum was started in 1979 by three dental faculty members of the school, Drs. Francois Brunner, Francois Devars and Francois Emptoz.
