About this Item

A classic and comprehensive reference for professional dentists and dental chemists, Dental Formulary by Hermann Prinzâ "Professor of Materia Medica and Therapeutics at the University of Pennsylvaniaâ "served as the standard compendium of dental compounds, alloys, and preparations used throughout much of the early twentieth century. This sixth edition, â thoroughly revised,â provides detailed formulae and practical instructions for producing metallic alloys, mouthwashes, antiseptics, impression materials, cements, and dentifrices. Prinzâ s manual combines laboratory precision with clinical utility, bridging chemical formulation with daily dental practice. Organized into sections such as â Dental Alloy,â â Tooth Powders,â â Substitutes for Gold,â and â Mouth Wash Tablets,â the work reflects an era of rapid advancement in dental materials and technique, particularly before the dominance of industrially manufactured dental compounds. Rich in quantitative detail and historically valuable as a record of pre-war dental science, Dental Formulary remains a key text in the history of dental pharmacology and material science.
