abstract: Henricues Regius (1598--1679), professor at the University of Utrecht was the first physician who accepted the physiology of the philosopher Descartes (1596--1750) that he exposed in Fundamenta physices (1646) and in Fundamenta Medicinae (1647) but in Praxis Medica (1657) his therapy of the "odontalgia" is still mediaeval according to the principles of Galen.
