Abstract
The University of Puerto Rico School of Dentistry was established in 1957. Over the years, it has played an important role in Puerto Rico's healthcare system. That legacy is displayed through the walls of the School of Dentistry. In Part 1, the evolution of 20-year-old dental museum-like showcases located in the lobby and the main hallway of the school were described along with important professions who impacted on this development. In this paper, we will describe in detail the items available at the museum.
