EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historical illustration of dental keys for tooth extraction, dating back to the late 18th century. The intricate details and craftsmanship of these surgical implements are truly remarkable, offering a glimpse into the history of dentistry and surgery.
The dental keys depicted in this image were essential tools used by surgeons during the 1790s for extracting teeth. Each key was carefully designed to fit around a tooth's crown, allowing for controlled and precise removal without causing excessive trauma to the surrounding tissues.
Savigny's catalogue of surgery implements serves as a valuable resource for understanding the evolution of medical practices and technologies. This particular illustration provides insight into the tools and techniques that were employed by early dentists and surgeons in their efforts to alleviate pain and restore oral health.
As we admire this piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded of the advancements made in modern dentistry and surgery. While dental keys may no longer be commonly used today, their legacy lives on through images like this one, preserving an important chapter in the history of medicine.
Whether you have an interest in medical history or simply appreciate fine art, this print offers a fascinating look at the innovative instruments that shaped dental care centuries ago.
