Dental Cosmos (1859-1903): Highlights
"Dental Cosmos, a Monthly Record of Dental Science" was the first enduring national journal for the American dental profession, and one of the most significant in the early history of American dentistry. From 1859 through 1936, when it merged with the Journal of the American Dental Association, the foundation of dental practice was documented and debated in its pages.
Many of these original source articles are still cited and considered classics in the field.
