Abstract
Medical school–based education for dentists has resulted in propelling some of the greatest advances in medicine and surgery of the past century. Varaztad Kazanjian, DMD, MD, a professor of prosthodontics at Harvard, returned from the Great War to train in medicine. He became a leader in the treatment of trauma and edentulism and was a principle founder of the specialty of plastic surgery. His procedures and instruments are in use today. Reed Dingman, DDS, MD, the first general practice resident in dentistry, became interested in head and neck cancer and trauma, returned to medical school, and was a pioneer in the development of otolaryngology as a specialty and specifically its interest in oral diseases.
