EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing image captures the remarkable moment when French surgeon, Dr. Charles-Louis-Marie Oudet, successfully extracted a tooth from a magnetized patient on November 14, 1836. The use of magnets for dental procedures was a popular paranormal belief during the 19th century, with some practitioners claiming that magnetism could put patients into altered states and make surgeries less painful. In this instance, Oudet, a skeptical yet curious surgeon, applied the magnetic technique to a willing patient. The patient was magnetized by passing a large horseshoe magnet over their body, creating a noticeable attraction to the metal object. Oudet then carefully extracted the tooth using a pair of magnetized forceps, which were also attracted to the magnetized patient. Despite the widespread belief in the efficacy of magnetism in dentistry, there is no scientific evidence to support its use. However, this image serves as a fascinating reminder of the unusual practices and beliefs that once dominated the medical field. The historical significance of this photograph lies not only in the unusual technique employed but also in the insight it provides into the cultural and scientific context of the time. The image is a testament to the human desire to seek out new and innovative methods to alleviate pain and improve health, even if those methods seem unconventional or even bizarre by today's standards. This photograph, taken from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past and invites us to reflect on the evolution of medical practices and the enduring human curiosity that drives scientific discovery.
