COVER STORY

Making darkness visible: the discovery of X-ray and its introduction to dentistry



PH Jacobsohn and RJ Fedran
Division of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Marquette University School of Dentistry, Milwaukee 53233, USA.

Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen's discovery of the X-ray one century ago has been ranked in importance with the discovery and development of anesthesia and the discovery of microorganisms and their role in disease. Roentgen's scientific devotion and the persistence of C. Edmund Kells, who took Roentgen's discovery and applied it to dentistry, had a great impact on how dentists practice today.
