NEW DENTAL SCHOOL PLANT

The University Dental School, just entering on its forty-second year, has moved from its former situation on North Grove street, Boston, to a new building near the Medical School on Longwood avenue. This building will be used wholly for hospital purposes and practical instruction, since the proximity of the Medical School will enable the dental students to make use of its lecture rooms. The new building contains a laboratory and operating place for the suitable accommodation of the large number of poor patients who each year receive free treatment.

The structure is of red water-struck brick and consists of a main part, occupied by the administrative offices, and a long wing for the infirmary, the supply-room, the department of oral surgery and the museum. An underground passage connects the Dental School with the Medical School.

The equipment of the building includes a complete outfit of instruments of most recent development in dental surgery. A number of specially constructed steam sterilizers and a room prepared for X-ray examinations will enable the school to treat a greater number of patients than ever before.
