HISTORY In compliance with a recommendation from the Medical Faculty of the University, submitted May 28, 1881, the Regents, by an Act of September 7, 1881, organized the College of Dentistry as an integral part of the University of California. The college was originally given accommodations in the Medical Hall of the University, and through the generous offer of the Medical Faculty provision was made for lecture and clinic rooms. From 1891 to 1906 it occupied quarters in the Donohue Building, at the corner of Market and Taylor streets, San Francisco, where the infirmary was located until 1906. In 1906 the infirmary was removed to the college building on Parnassus avenue and Arguello boulevard, where all the departments of the college are now conducted. The progress of dentistry in recent times has given it rank among the liberal professions, and the permanent establishment of the College of Dentistry provides the needed preparation for the responsibilities of its practice. LOCATION AND EQUIPMENT The College of Dentistry occupies the most eastern of the five buildings housing the professional colleges situated on Parnassus avenue and Arguello boulevard, San Francisco, California. Since the College of Dentistry has been located in its present building a slow and steady growth in student enrollment has borne witness to the ever increasing demand for good dental service on the part of the laity, and the high educational standards of the University. The College of Dentistry of the University of California endeavors to teach in a practical way methods of office practice, so that the graduate will be equipped with such practical knowledge as will enable him to conduct an office practice successfully should he choose to establish himself immediately after graduation. The practical instruction, which includes making examinations of the mouths of patients, arranging for appointments, collecting fees, and keeping the professional and financial records, as well as performing the operations necessary to putting the oral cavity in good condition, is supplemented by didactic instruction in these subjects. Pursuant to this plan a new type of equipment has been purchased with the view of individualizing the student's activities. Standard types of units with electric motors are supplied, rather than the former type of fountain cuspidors and the foot engines. Individual operating cabinets designed especially for this school, large enough to contain all operating equipment and accessories and providing full working table space, are used instead of instrument cases and stands. The student is thus provided with the facilities for all operative work in a given location without being obliged to distribute his equipment in different parts of the building for safe keeping. Unquestionably this policy will enable the student to use his time to greater advantage. Similarly the prosthetic laboratory is equipped with individual types of laboratory benches to facilitate laboratory work as well as to provide ample space for prosthetic equipment and a means of efficiently and securely storing it in the briefest time possible. Both the operating cabinets and the laboratory benches are designed after the types used in dental offices today; thus the student becomes familiar with office equipment before graduation. One hundred units, modern dental chairs, and operating cabinets constitute the present infirmary equipment, which will provide ample teaching facilities for some time to come. The installation of this equipment means a saving of approximately $50 to each student; in order to keep this equipment in good order, a rental and depreciation fee of $5 will be charged to each student. The facilities for teaching prosthetic dentistry and dental porcelain have been materially improved, providing better equipment and light in both the laboratories and infirmaries. In the departments of oral surgery and dental pathology, in addition to the well equipped extracting and radiographic rooms, there has been provided a research laboratory for investigating the general problems presented in these two important departments. Radiography and photography, including motion pictures, of special value in all teaching, are being developed to meet the demands made upon these special fields of science by all the departments. Clinical practice in orthodontics is required so that the student may learn to observe personally the results of this practice. Local anesthesia in all its phases, including conductive and infiltrative, is likewise required. In fact, each department demands that clinical work of a satisfactory character shall be expected of each student qualifying for a degree. Clinical material of every variety is abundant, the school being unable to care for all the cases that present themselves for treatment, so that ample opportunity is afforded for student practice in all branches of dentistry. Students must provide themselves with white dental operating smocks of an approved type before being permitted to operate in the infirmary, and with duck or linen dusters for laboratory use. |
