Abstract
Guy's Hospital and its dental school have an illustrious history. It is the hospital where the first known UK lecture on dentistry was delivered to students in 1799. This paper examines its history and involvement with general and specialist children's dentistry, for which many dental staff helped to raise clinical standards. Interestingly, a number of leading graduates went to the USA for postgraduate study, more than from any other UK school. Many were financed by a travelling bursary endowed by the founding Dean, Frederick Newland-Pedley and have returned to be major players on the British scene, some in children's dentistry.
By its very nature this research cannot claim to be exhaustive. Hopefully other researchers will add further information.
