John Hunter as an oral pathologist.
John Hunter was one of the great surgeons and anatomists of the eighteenth century and one of the greatest comparative anatomists of all time. His legacy was a museum of over 1300 specimens and anatomical preparations in the Hunterian Museum of the Royal College of Surgeons in England, and a wealth of publications on a large variety of subjects, including two books on the teeth, gingival tissues, and their diseases.
